Introducing Braindump
I have been working on braindump for over a year now. I have rewritten it from scratch over 10 times. Three weeks ago I finally wrote a version that I am somewhat happy with and I am excited to share it with the world.
I have a vision for what a notes app/platform is supposed to look like and unfortunately I have not been able to find something that fits that vision. This is my attempt at making something myself that fulfills that vision.
I have been using it myself for a few weeks at work and it is really cool to be able to use software that you wrote yourself. This latest release has focused on making the UI a bit better. I am proud of the work I have done and would love to hear your feedback.
This release also included some commits from other developers which is awesome.
The project is live here, I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think!
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
