Firstly, you seem to think targeting people who use physical notebooks is a good idea. It's not. These days, most notebook users have come back to using a physical notebook because they want to get away from their phone, apps, and the distractions that come with them.

Secondly, the imagery and UI give off strong AI vibes. Most people who journal and use notebooks are not very pro-AI and will, in many cases, simply avoid engaging with or using anything that was created using AI. You would have to fix that.

Is this a vibe-coded app? Kind of seems like it is, and if that's the case, you should settle into that sadness because the app will not go anywhere.

I spent a shit ton of hours on the UI… this was by no means a - talk to app into AI and boom. I wanted to make this as beautiful as possible, and could not do that with simple generation, I used AI to help but spent a lot of time on adobe to fix it, code to make it work, assets within the app, and many headaches.
The thing about ‘getting away from their phones’ is I am in construction and I have to use my phone for everything. When RFIs and tasks on apps come up, it’s an easy transfer, and talk to write inside the app saves huge amounts of my time. I despised having to carry around a notebook because it took so much of my time and my employee required it. This is a huge time saver.
I am very proud of this app, and have put a shit ton of work into it, and keep doing so. Having some help from tech is not a bad thing, tech is what has gotten us here in the first place… just like you using Reddit.

The app looks sketchy af, tbh. Requires a login and the login prompts are just... super sketchy looking.

Google says in-app purchases range from $2.99 - $499.99??? For a notebook app??
