Hi Hackernews!
There are countless tools for taking notes and collecting ideas, but I think there's still room in the market for "digital scratchpads".
I created Bubbles for people who like to think and jot down their budding ideas and thoughts. From what I've learned, most people still use Notepad, Apple Notes or a collection of super random tools. Notes and screenshots are scattered everywhere. I'm sure HN readers also often use Obsidian or other similar apps.
So what's different?
- Optimizing for speed - quick to add ideas without having to worry about organizing them
- "Notepad + Miro" - Documents and canvases natively combined
- Fluid non-linear user interface - any note can be inside any other and it's super easy to navigate between them and find what you're looking for.
The tool is still in very early phase, but it's already been personally useful for brainstorming, collecting thoughts and processing them into some kind of output, like a project plan, a blog post, an email.. I've also collected notes for 10+ years, so being able to finally connect some of those has been great.
There's not much in the way of onboarding, so also very interested to see how much can be understood just by using the tool.
To come:
- Vector search
- PDF and multimedia support
- Collab mode
- Import from other tools
Would love to get some feedback, I know you guys are a tough audience.
