Code walkthroughs are underrated

Tried it on mobile :> but still want to know / hear insights from you about how you differ from Motion e.g different approach, design tradeoffs, philosophy

Love the idea...having some trouble installing and have some skepticism about usability (because I have iBooks, Kindle etc. and the cross-platform thing kills me) but think it's really promising

Was a fun 9 minutes :^) Having to scroll up and down again when switching tabs was slightly annoying but might be designed on purpose

I really love this idea but I'm having such a hard time using it. After hatching the egg with Ctrl + Shift + P, I have no idea how to "type" on that blank panel (I use Cursor). When I open new files, the egg disappears. Frustrating.

What's different about this vs codepen? I want to try the special features

Did you shut down the website? It's not accessible now.

I thought it was intentional and super funny to say "I made a fool", it didn't hinder clarity at all, brilliant, trying it now.

Is there an efficient mobile version for this?

And thank you very much for making this app, I'm excited to see how it progresses and help you get more users and customers.

I tried so many apps, and was debating whether to build it myself. But it's impossible for me to build - no time and no creative juice left from my main job.

OK. I don't mind shorter inputs. Also I hope to have one place for my flashcards i.e. make flash cards directly without LLM too. I hope to write kanjis on my iPad to make flashcards - I can't seem to figure out how to create new cards directly?

Email is just an odd case today since I was refunding an item. I usually want to focus on phrases everywhere, my yoga/pilates class, baseball team, sometimes TV, sometimes what I hear on a podcast, sometimes on a magazine, and get a detailed breakdown. It's not usually in formal, nor long.

I personally like both flash card directions because it allows me to practice how to write kanji for example instead of just recognizing, or in the context of phrases, it helps me practice active recalling rather than just passive recognition.

Let me reclarify - I really want this app. I tried RemNote (as they say it's easy to convert notes to flashcards) but it doesn't support hand-drawing on othe iPad, and is just really unintuitive to me still. The flashcards I couldn't figure out back-->front as it's always front-->back.

LLM question --> flashcards is exactly the workflow I want. I ask ChatGPT to do a lot of breakdowns of the grammar and the furigana and the words, being able to consolidate that with spaced reptition flash cards just makes a ton of sense. I don't know how hard it is to make this product really high quality, but happy to pre-pay you $10 for example no strings attached (I'm moved to Japan since 6 months ago)

The sentence --> into flashcard is exactly what I was hoping for. If this is high quality I'd happily pay $60/year (something comparable to what I pay AnkiApp pro / Univerbal subscription).Here's some feedback so you can consider if you want to invest.

I tried the app but on the first few attempts it gave an error 404 in console.

The example long paragraph I put in from an email gave me only 4 flashcards, two of them was on Arigatou, when I wanted to focus on the other words: ショップからの回答: [Re] 947912984 につきまして ご連絡ありがとうございます。 ご返送のお手配、誠にありがとうございます。 ご返送品が到着いたしましたら、再度ご連絡致します。 この度は、お手数、ご迷惑をお掛け致しまして誠に申し訳ございません。 恐れ入りますが、よろしくお願いいたします。

Also I couldn't figure out the UI initially, it took me like 10 seconds to think to try the "chat" feature to input into the LLM.

Was the home page confusing or the main app confusing? Sorry that it wasn't intuitive enough.

Really sorry to hear - was it the calendar spacing? Were you using mobile or PC?

I'm really glad - let me know how it goes : ) (and you can use the icons feature for free, just skip the payment)

Hello everyone! I'm launching the new version of my calendar app: "intentions.life"

I used Google Calendar for 6 years, but found it hard to put small habits there, because everything takes up at least 15 minutes worth of space.

It was also hard to keep track of medium-term milestones that span across weeks & months, because they often involve waiting, unforeseen steps, following-up and failed attempts.

So since 2022, I spent my holidays building https://intentions.life

Apart from a free-scrolling calendar UI, it uses less space to display small tasks, and provides a “tree structure” to track multi-stage tasks.

I’ve been continuously testing & improving it. Now, my dad and I both use it every day - the app has given me a sense of wholistic clarity that I didn't have before.

You can see the in-depth demos without logging in directly on the "intentions.life" home page (computer recommended), or go to my profile and click the link there.

I hope you can try it, and tell me your honest feedback - I'll make future versions better.

Thank for such detailed feedback - let me think through this carefully : ) you're telling me lots of things I didn't know before.
