Fluffy Sparrow – Frictionless, Fast, Note Taking App

Hello HN,

Taking notes should be frictionless, but for me with most of the note apps, there are too much frictions to quickly put down what I have in my mind, before long forgetting what I was intending to write

So, for that I built Fluffy Sparrow, a frictionless, fast, simple note taking app

I have been working on it for last two years, on and off. I abandoned first version because it strayed away from the concept that I had in mind.

The primary target of this app was to be frictionless, and fast, so that I can just fire it up, and put down what's in my mind without thinking, and store all data in simple text format, which can also be filtered using *nix tools.

And, happy to say this attempt clicked.

It supports, besides taking quick one liner notes; to-do, project, tags, inline calculations using fend[1], filtering, search, contexts

And more features, like time tracking, reminders, KanBan, saving links, scripting are also in the pipeline. BUT you need not to use any of these features, if you don't want to, and they'll never get in your way.

Yes! There are many apps with those features, but this one's priority is extremely simple, fast, and frictionless note taking. And attempts has been, and will be made to keep it that way.

This is not a vibe coded app. It's all and all handy crafted :-)

The app is priced $15, one time payment.

But first 50 purchases are for $10.

And you can try the full featured demo (except, it wont load saved files) here: https://github.com/tmahmood/fluffy_sparrow/releases/tag/v0.0...

Here's a demo video of passing Moby Dick workout :-)

But actually, it can currently work with 7k lines. I am working on improving on that too.

Let me know what do you think! I am open for suggestions, and improvements.
