Balancing editability with free writing feels tricky. How did you keep edits from breaking that raw flow?
Still
@oliver_nathan2 That was the tricky part. I wanted edits to feel like a safety net, not turn Still into a full productivity notes app.
So the core flow stays simple: write freely first, organize/fix later only when needed.
Bulk delete/export is mostly for heavier users, but trash/restore felt important for everyone because losing personal notes can break trust really fast.
The goal is to make these features feel like part of Still's core, without adding friction.
Bulk delete/export feels like a heavier use case. Do you notice different behavior between casual and heavy users?
@wyatt_cameron Spot on Wyatt. Casual users want simplicity but heavy users eventually need those bulk actions. t's a classic scaling problem. Have you seen any other minimal apps that handle this transition well?
@wyatt_cameron moving to trash instead of permanent delete is a big improvement 🙂 I have lost notes before and it always breaks trust a bit.
@wyatt_cameron @gwendolyn_kira This direction makes the product feel more reliable 👍 and that usually leads to people trusting it with more of their thoughts.
Trash and restore feels more like emotional safety than a feature. Did you see users hesitate because of deletion risk?
This adds more control systems over time. Do you se Still staying minimal becoming more feature-rich?
The ability to edit entries anytime is a subtle but huge UX win. Most people underestimate how much friction a permanent entry creates for the user. Great to see you're listening to the community feedback directly. Keep shipping!
This is the kind of update users quietly love more control, less fear of losing something important. The best part is you improved safety without making the writing flow feel heavier.
