Show HN: lowercase updates (a simple way to take and share notes)

mattstrayer — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 13:45:18 +0000

hello!

After receiving some great traction here a few weeks back (65.03k unique visitors/ 539.22k total requests/ +11x user sign ups), Stephen and I rolled up our sleeves and made some improvements based on the feedback y'all had.

→ Migrated the entire infrastructure from Heroku to DigitalOcean w/ Docker

→ Added functionality for data exports to markdown (take your data anywhere)

→ Added in a sustainability model with Lemon Squeezy subscription payments

→ Migrated to a Vite-based build system

→ Migrated from vuex to pinia for Vue.js state management

→ Made improvements to the reliability of our websockets

→ Upgraded from Django 3 to 5

You can check out all these updates now on https://www.lowercase.app/

Thank you all for the feedback!

We're open to any and all suggestions for new feature work.

no export is available at the moment, but we are considering adding that in. What formats would you want to be able to export to?

Thank you!

It is real-time editing! We leverage web-sockets to sync across multiple logged-in sessions. But as of today it does not support multiple users collaborating on the same document.

Totally a fair use-case and request!

Right now we don't have support for a local storage mechanism or self-hosting. We are extremely keen on privacy and are very open to working towards either of those two options.

Lowercase really shines when you want to take notes free-form and then be able to share those notes out into the world. You can easily make a note public & even cooler than that you can turn a lowercase note into a presentation with just a few clicks.

Here's an old example I pulled up -> https://www.lowercase.app/@matt/p/1f6c83d5-2869-4024-a687-fc...

In my editor I was able to just group parts of my note into logical slide sections and then publish.

Edit: you can move through the slide show with your left and right arrows.

Very early stages, but we just went live!

Note taking, simplified. From idea to go-live in seconds. https://www.lowercase.app/

There was an app that did something related to this called facewash (renamed to simplewash) https://www.facebook.com/simplewash/, but it seems to since have been shut down. May be worth it to shoot them a message
