• omg that’s spot on Considering implementation request User feedback seems like they’re implying that they’d like us to implement it. They seem happy, and are likely wanting us to implement this, even if they didn’t explicitly say “please implement.” We should be proactive in cases like this. Since they asked for a proposal before, this is likely where we check in with them re: implementation. Want me to implement that change now?
Twitch schedule showing four identical recurring events listed under “Upcoming events.” Each event is titled “Building Hubble – the next notes app (React / Tailwind / Warp with GPT-5)” in the category Software and Game Development. They recur every Monday from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM EDT.
“Wireframe mockups showing a note-taking and search interface for an app called Hubble. The main panel contains a search bar, note list (Today, Yesterday, Sunday), and a conversation area where AI retrieves saved shopping links related to a move (oak coffee table from Wayfair, bedding from Amazon, bedframe from Amazon, TV stand from Wayfair). Two buttons appear: ‘Save to note ⌘N’ and ‘Move to sidebar ⌘⇧S’. Two example flows branch from this: 1. ‘Shopping links for move’ note, showing extracted shopping list in the left pane and conversation in the right pane, with instructions about creating a new note from search results. 2. ‘Newsletter’ note showing a text draft in the left pane and shopping link results in the right pane, with instructions about moving the conversation to the sidebar. Purple annotations describe behaviors like automatically moving conversations to the sidebar when clicking notes, Hubble’s searchable note access, and benefits of extracting images from websites.”
Mockup of “Hubble” notetaking app showing two primary modes: Sticky Mode and Notebook Mode. Sticky Mode (top half of image): Each note appears as a floating, draggable window on the desktop. Example notes include: • A blue note about a Forbes interview with the Notion CEO • A yellow note labeled “Persistent input project” • A red note titled “What is Hubble for??” describing the goal of easy capture and later retrieval Floating notes have controls for archiving to Notion, deleting, changing color, and toggling to Notebook Mode. Color options: Yellow (#1), Red (#2), Blue (#3). Notebook Mode (bottom half of image): All notes appear as tabs in a single window. A vertical sidebar lists notes (e.g. “+New note”, “Persistent input”, “What is hubble for??”, etc.). Main note area resembles Sticky Mode, with the same editing and control icons (archive, delete, float, color, etc.). Shortcut key tips and UI behaviors (like sidebar hover) are also annotated. Overall, the mocks illustrate how Hubble allows frictionless note capture in Sticky Mode, and organized tabbed browsing in Notebook Mode, with seamless transitions between the two.
The author has spent a year frustrated with notetaking apps, seeking a tool that does two things well: 1. Capture ideas instantly with zero friction 2. Find them easily later Most tools only do one well: • Apple Notes is great for quick capture but terrible at search. • Notion excels at organization and search, but it’s too complex for fast, in-the-moment note capture. They reference FromSergio’s video on “bottom-up” vs “top-down” systems: • Obsidian is used for fast, unstructured capture (bottom-up). • Notion is used for structured, organized output (top-down). But switching between tools requires manual effort. Enter Hubble — the author’s new app: • A fast, friendly writing tool inspired by Apple Notes and Raycast Notes • Designed to make capturing thoughts effortless and fun • Includes a key feature: an “archive” button that sends important notes to Notion This combines fast capture with powerful search and organization — all-in-one. The author isn’t sure if this idea will resonate, but they’re excited to build it publicly, hoping it meets a real need.
