Overview
This project began as an exploration after I built my own markdown note editor app. At the time, I was using ObsidianMD and even created a custom dashboard with some JavaScript integrations that I was proud of. However, the Obsidian mobile app was terrible, and the JavaScript integrations weren’t very performant. Despite never coding in Swift before, I decided to make my own iOS app to view my notes—but that introduced new issues with file syncing and app sandboxing. From there, I thought, why not build a macOS app too, and eventually add widgets as well? Over time, the app evolved into something I now rely on daily and has become incredibly beneficial.
Interaction model
I based the UI/UX patterns on a mix of ObsidianMD and VS Code and for the job tracker I modeled the navigation off of Excel, while the main to-do structure was heavily influenced by this post from Andrej Karpathy. A demo video should be released soon.
