    I would not, simply because it’s an online service. I avoid those whenever possible, and for such a simple piece of software I would expect it to run locally on my machine.

    edit: by simple I don’t mean you did a poor job. I’m sure you put a lot of hard work into it, I just mean the concept of a word processor is simple.

    from the overview i can’t really tell what it is, although it sounds like onenote, which i’ve never really gotten along with. also yeah, the online requirement thing means it’s not suitable for secure work.

      Hey- Thanks for the feedback. You’re right about the lack of overview or clear purpose- I’m aiming for more of a “just type and share instantly” kind of thing. At the end of the day, I guess what I want to know is- what could this be used for, you know? I might have one idea, but I could be wrong.

      Curious- and it may sound basic but I don’t wanna assume- is offline use important for you mostly because of security or something else (travelling/using hotel wifi, etc).

        I work with governmental organisations and heavy industry. spotty internet, data privacy, changing laws, cleanroom areas, IT audits, travel to places with less savoury governments, telemetry that shouldn’t be stored but is due to some flag someone forgot, takeover of the server, ulterior motives, you name it. needing a network connection means it has to be assumed compromised, and short of letting my IT dept host its own version, you can’t convince me otherwise. I need to be able to 1) sync data only when on a verified safe network, and 2) trust the server that data goes to and from.

        when it comes to what something could be used for… are you doing market research, or basic research? building a tool usually means you have a need for that tool. If you’re trying to market something, do a proper test with a control group. just going “i made a thing, i don’t know what it’s good for” isn’t going to pull in crowds, especially if there is a barrier such as account creation to actually use the thing.

        Edit:

        also, your page is missing basic accessibility features. all the links are <button>s, not <a>s, so they’re not properly picked up.

          Hi! Just circling back here- what does this mean? I’d like to action it: “Page is missing basic accessibility features” - Can you provide more detail on location perhaps or just more info in general!

            basically this

            in short,

            • semantic html (<nav>, <main>, <aside> etc). ban use of <div> unless there is no fitting tag.
            • aria roles (which you will need less of with semantic html)
            • logical grouping, which facilitates
            • structured text that flows in a screen reader
            • never ever ever use <button>s instead of <a>nchors for links unless you have a very good reason.

            also, don’t use the wording “circling back” unless you want people to get office ptsd.

              Hahah! Sorry for the language- I’ve obviously been spending too much time there myself (SOS!)… Thanks again- this is great, I can really use this!

    Some feedback on your website.
    It’s bad. Sorry to be blunt.
    I don’t even know where to begin.
    Links are only identifyable by being underlined. But then you have underlined text on the front page which isn’t a link.
    All links point to the author. subdomain, from where there is no way back!
    Except for one link that opens my e-mail program without any hint that it’ll do that.
    Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail.
    Most of the links leave you guessing what happens when you click them – which in this day and age means, they’ll remain unclicked.
    The color choice is … interesting.

    The entire site is actually illegal in very many countries outside of the US, cause it advertises a service but includes absolutely no info about what company or organisation I actually send my data to when I sign up. For the same reason, you are currently violating the GDPR cause you don’t blacklist visits from within the EU. Yes, that law applies even if you’re in the US.

    And after clicking every link, I still have no idea what your software even is.
