I'm looking for 5 people who take notes every day and are interested in trying a new note-taking app and getting involved through feedback, feature ideas, and product discussions.

If you're frustrated with your current note-taking app, this might be a chance to help build one that actually fits your workflow.

You'll get to shape a product from an early stage rather than adapting to decisions made by a large company.

The app is Daftak. The goal is to create something that stays simple and intuitive while being flexible and powerful when you need it.

I've been working on it for over a year and have invested a lot of time and effort into it.

Your feedback will directly influence the app's direction, features, and design. You can get involved with the decision making, planning, or any part of it if you're interested.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, please leave a comment.

I spent most of the last year focused on developing my app. It was a valuable investment of my time. Now I have an application I'm very proud of creating.

But I never posted updates, asked for advice, or connected with people while I was developing. Today I have to create an audience for my product from scratch.

If I could go back and do it all again, I would spent at least 20 minutes a week showing my progress. If you're building something, start sharing early on. You'll be surprised how many users find your efforts to be helpful, and over time you'll build many connections.

Connections make a big difference. You can literally have a garbage product but with strong connections you can sell. Or you can have a nice product but no connections it will die.

So if you're building something, start talking about it before you launch it.

I'd also love to hear: did sharing your journey help you?

I spent the last year almost entirely focused on building my web app. It was time well spent, and I ended up with a product I'm proud of.

What I didn't do was share the journey.

I never posted updates, asked for advice, or connected with other developers while I was building. Now I'm left with a product that I have to slowly promote from scratch. Since nobody knows me, it's easy to be seen as just another spammer or "vibe coder" trying to push a product.

Looking back, spending even 20 minutes a week sharing progress would've been one of the best investments I could've made. Show what you built, what you learned, what went wrong. Some people will find it useful, and you'll naturally build connections over time.

Connections make a big different. You can literally have a garbage product but with strong connections you can sell. Or you can have a nice product but no connections it will die.

So if you're building something, don't wait until launch to start talking about it.

Unfortunately, this is one of the first posts I've shared about my project, Daftak, which is a productivity app. I've been developing software for over 10 years, and I don't want this project to quietly die because I ignored the human side of building. If you're curious, I'd appreciate you taking a look.

I'd also love to hear: did sharing your journey help your SaaS?

I'm a software engineer with over 10 years of professional experience. Over the years I worked on several personal projects, and none of them went anywhere. After enough failures, I stopped building side projects entirely for about three years.

Then I found an idea that felt worth pursuing. I started working on it, and about a month later I got fired from my job (on the day I turned 30).

While looking for another job, I kept working on the project. Over time I spent less time applying and more time building, until it eventually became my full-time focus.

More than a year has passed since then. I've invested a lot of time into it, and recently I was granted an entrepreneur residency in a European country based on the project after it was evaluated as innovative and having potential to generate economic activity.

It's a platform for writing and managing information. The main idea is to reduce the time spent on things that are not the information itself. For example, it doesn't have formatting options (since it has auto-formatting), removes the need for document and folder management (since the data are hierarchically and nested), and keeps everything synchronized automatically so there's no need to think about storage or syncing.

Other features include end-to-end encryption, checklists, automatic version history, attention adjustment (to focus on specific areas or ignore them without deleting or moving), sharing, full data export/import, AI assistance, and the ability to mark specific parts for review.

It's currently available on the web and still under active development.

I'd appreciate honest feedback, especially from people who enjoy trying new productivity, note-taking, or knowledge-management tools.

The project is Daftak.

There is a new note-taking and knowledge management tool designed to be easy to learn, flexible, and not limit you as your information grows.

Some of the principles behind it:

1. Focus on writing rather than formatting (auto-formatting)
2. Fast data entry
3. No document or folder management
4. Ability to focus on a specific part of the hierarchy without distraction
5. End-to-end encryption for sensitive information
6. Easy export of data at any time
7. Consistent representation of information (to reduce mental overhead and create a familiar experience)
8. AI assistance when needed

The tools is Daftak. It's currently in its early stages and available on the web. I've been working on it for quite some time, and I'd appreciate your feedback.

Many note-taking and knowledge management tools seem to fall into one of two categories:

1. Simple tools that work well at first but become limiting and messy as information grows.
2. Complex tools with steep learning curves that require constant formatting, management, and maintenance.

So I've been working on a tool that is as simple and flexible as a text editor and as powerful as the complex tools out there.

I've been working on Daftak and it has support for hierarchical checklists.

The idea is that any note or item can be converted into a checkable item, allowing notes and checklists to coexist in the same structure rather than being separate concepts.

Features shown in the video:

• Progress tracking at every level
• Hide completed items
• One-click reset
• Text separators

The example uses a reusable onboarding checklist, but the same approach can be used for recurring processes, travel packing, maintenance procedures, and similar workflows.

I'd appreciate any feedback on the concept and whether this is something you would find useful.

What if we could use checklists in our note-taking app?

To do this any note/item should be convertible to a checkable, and checklists should be organized hierarchically rather than as flat lists.

It'd also be useful to have these features when working with larger or recurring checklists:

• Progress tracking at every level
• Hide completed items
• One-click reset
• Text separators
• Related items through tags

You can see a short example here.

Looking for feedback on the concept.

P.S. The tool used in the video is Daftak.

Imagine you have a hierarchy of information. You want to make most of it public, but keep a few specific sections private.

Most tools force you to either:

• Share everything
• Duplicate content
• Split it into multiple documents/pages

Would it be useful to selectively exclude parts of the hierarchy from what other people can see?

If yes, where would you use it?
