Hey fam!

A few months ago I linked a preview to the second version of the app I've been working on.

Thought Train originated by me losing my train of thought while busy at work, and morphed neatly into a way for myself and others to replace the plethora of sticky notes lying around our desks.

The app sits neatly in your Mac menubar or Windows taskbar and is quick to access with a useful short cut on both OS's.

The features are lightweight, focussed on productivity.

Cloud syncing with full note encryption. Drag & drop re-ordering. Edit, copy and paste functionality for quick use. A full markdown editor for more in-depth note taking. Cross-device compatibility. A shortcut key for quick app access. Windows and Mac support

Let me know what you think!

This could work as a conventional desktop app with a one-time fee license, or possibly as a subscription-based web app. But a native desktop app + subscription is an instant No for many people, me included. Subjective and irrational, granted, but that's how it is. What is installed must belong to me.

Really appreciate the comment thanks!

That's interesting thinking, definitely something I'm going to take on and see how I can implement.
