Umbrella Note 2.0 launch
Yesterday I launched Umbrella Note 2.0. And it received a great response from the community.
- The website got 7K visitors in just 6 hrs.
- It landed on the front page of Hacker News with more than 60 upvotes.
- And It stayed on top with more than 150 upvotes on subreddit /r/opensource.
- Github repo got 45 new followers.
- 50 new mail subscribers.
So what’s next
Currently, I launched it only for Linux and Windows. But almost half of the visitors were MacBook users. So first thing, I will fix the issues with macOS and build an installer for the Apple users.
Next, I think I will be building the complete application in react. As of now, it’s just plain javascript and a little jquery.
The new features that I’ll be adding now are -
- A ‘Medium’ like text editor.
- Dictionary and word suggestions.
- Auto backups to different locations on the users' computers. Keeping user data safe is the biggest priority.
- Passcode.
A lot of people requested for android and ios apps. I will be working on them as soon as possible.
Although I will keep it completely open-source and free for almost all of the features. But there will be a pro version.
I want to thank all of you who installed the application and provided valuable feedback.
Thank you.
Umbrella Note — A simple, beautiful and open-source application for writing and taking notes.
