New Show Hacker News story: latest news

Show HN: I made a Note-Taking app for people who keep texting themselves
3 by eguchi1904 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage. I wanted to bring that effortless “text yourself” note-taking experience to a dedicated note-taking app. Originally developed as a macOS app, Strflow is now also available for iOS. Strflow is designed to make note-taking as quick and intuitive as possible, centered around a chronological timeline UI. Here are some of its features: * Tag system * Rich editor with text formatting, images, and note linking * Global shortcuts for quick access * Share extension * Encrypted iCloud backup & synchronization (becomes end-to-end encryption if you enable iCloud’s Advanced Data Protection) Hope you find Strflow interesting. I’m happy to answer any questions. ## Some implementation details some of you might be interested in: * The app is implemented natively using Swift. * On macOS, it’s based on AppKit, and on iOS, it uses UIKit, with SwiftUI used partially. * The editor intensively utilizes TextKit. * The sync engine is custom-built using CloudKit.
