Any fans of #MDR here? Should I release this theme for my notes app (riftnotes.com)? #severance #indiedev #swiftUI
This isn't a mockup, this is a finished theme for RIFT, I'm quite happy with how it turned out, it's got a few fun features, and uses one of the typefaces from the show.

I know I'm late to the game, I was recently looking to revamp/fix my research/capture/notes/reading system and started testing out #Zotero and wow is it great. Ticks all the boxes:
- Capture from anywhere
- Great cross-platform apps
- You 'own' your data
- Works on my e-ink boox tablet + ipad

Any #Obsidian #ObsidianMD fans out there? RIFT Notes instantly syncs .md to your iCloud drive with front matter, tags and date-based filenames! Great for quickly capturing on-the-go. 1-way sync for now, 2-way sync soon.
Would love feedback for this!
Grab it for iPhone/iPad at riftnotes.com

Latest beta for riftnotes.com is up on TestFlight, and about to submit to the App Store. Lots of under-the-hood improvements to syncing and editing, but it also adds tagging a note by color (for free and powerpack customers), as well as filtering by that color. #indiedev #swiftUI #productivity

How about some light themes in the next release? The dark themes were a bit over-represented. #iosdev #indiedev #productivity #swiftui
You should download RIFT and give it a spin, and in a couple days you'll get these themes (if ya grab the powerpack upgrade). apps.apple.com/us/app/rift-...

Working on RIFT Notes' improved theme engine this weekend, hoping to launch 1.0 of the app this week to the app store if all goes well.
First theme to take advantage of the newly improved theme capability... it has a nice subtle scanline animation too.

Window can go pretty small, think I'll add a 'focus' view where it strips away all the buttons and toolbars so you can write in peace, or for screenshotting text.
And I wonder how much work it is to get multi-window going so you could leave a few notes open on the desktop...

RIFT Notes is almost ready for its Mac public TestFlight, just a few more things to polish up and then test iCloud syncing, hide the titlebar, tweak map and theme settings views.
iOS, iPad & Mac versions all have markdown syntax highlighting thanks to @simonbs.dev 's Runestone library!

Didn't feel great all weekend, full of nyquil and sat in my chair with a blanket and my macbook and worked on a feature for riftnotes.com, added tagging, and I think it turned out well. Super quick and easy to view your notes by any tag and the search and map views also filter by the tag. #iosdev

Fun learning with my SwiftUI hobby app, drag ‘n drop on iPad just works without me doing anything, neat.

One is Memcam, linked in my profile, the other is a fairly opinionated text / quick capture notes app that I put together last couple of days, syncs all your notes as .md to iCloud Drive

If you told me last year that two of the four apps on my dock would be my own I’d have said you were crazy. (And yes I’m biased, but they’re genuinely useful many times/day, they’re the productivity apps I’ve wanted to exist but didn’t)

Notes app with quick entry / always ready to capture, forever-scrolling, syncs to iCloud, saves markdown for every note, themes.
Need to add quick search, sharing & maybe tagging? #iosdev #swiftui
