I gotta say, while I see what you're trying to do with this app, I'm not sure it's enough to stand out, we already have so many note-taking apps, don't you think it could use something unique, maybe a way to categorize notes or even a voice-to-text feature to make it more convenient, what do you think about adding some more integrations with other apps we use daily

It's crucial to jot down your ideas as soon as they come to you! The key is to be quick, otherwise you might forget them in a flash. Good job! @sindresorhus

Interesting idea, but isn't it just a notepad with a keyboard shortcut 🤔 feels kinda basic and outdated, why not integrate more advanced features like voice notes or drawing tools, especially with all those great new tech advancements, also how secure are these notes, any encryption or something

Congrats on Scratchpad! Love the simplicity and ease of capturing thoughts instantly. What’s been the biggest challenge in creating such a straightforward, yet powerful tool?

@andreea_staicu The most difficult part is keeping it simple and knowing when to say "no". I have already gotten 70+ feature request emails.

hey, this new app seems super basic for something macOS users could just do with existing tools, like, why would I need another note-taking thing, and there’s no rich text support either, what about adding that, and maybe cloud sync for support across devices? Wondering if there’s any room for more features or is it gonna stay this “simple by design”?

@muledevexpert The app is designed to be intentionally simple—more of a lightweight companion to your primary notes app. It's meant for quick, temporary notes or reminders, not long-term storage. Cloud sync is already supported. More features are planned, but it will stay minimal.

Kinda basic tool, isn't it, not sure how useful a plain text only note app is in 2023, any plans on adding more advanced features or at least markdown support, would love to see some syncing options with third-party apps, feels like just another extra steps for what standard note apps already do, thoughts on that?
