I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded". I simply used the chat interface in Gemini website, manually copy paste codes to build and integrate every single thing in the app! I used gemini to build it just because I was piggybacking on my last company's enterprise subscription. I personally didn't subscribe to any AI (and still don't cuz the free quota seems enough for me :)
So I certainly have learnt alot about Android development, architecture patterns, Kotlin syntax, and obeying Google's whims. Can't say I love it all, but for the sake of this app, I will :)
Anyway, I finally have the app I wish existed, and I'm using it everyday. It not only does the main thing I needed it to do, but there's also all this stuff:
- Make your notes private if you don't want to show them on lock screen. - Create check/to-do lists. - Set one time or recurring reminders. - Full-text search your notes in the app. - Speech-to-text. - Organize your notes with custom or color labels. - Pin the app as a widget on your home screen. - You can auto backup and restore your notes on new install or Android device. - Works offline. - And no funny business happening in the background https://joonote.com/privacy
It's 30-day trial, then a one-time $9.99 to go Pro forever.
I would love you all to check it out, FWIW.
Ok thanks!
