@juanpablosarmi I'm personally a fan on Iconshock myself. Been using it for years!
1. I don't understand comments. They only seem to grey out the text. Is there more to it?
2. Print doesn't seem to do anything. Is it because I am on the free plan?
3. I have odd cursor issues. When I open a note that has already been created, clicking on a word other than in the title does not lead to edit actions, like deleting to replacing that word. I have to click on the title first, and then the normal cursor actions work.
4. the 'lists' option in the outline section suggests that it will filter docs with checklists, but it filters docs with any sort of lists, which seems strange.
My questions were never answered. I'll add one: I'd like to be able to easily search for open tasks. "- [ ]" works, but is clunky
@sachingk sorry not supported. It's built natively with Swift. If there's enough demand, maybe in the future :)
@ashkitbanta I’m not sure what I did wrong but it still didn’t show on my phone...I won’t be able to check on the Mac until a little later
@aeronic opting for premium trial is the reason for it not showing up on your phone. It will comes back once your trial period (7 days, I think) is over.
But that's not the optimal solution, let me find another way and get back to you.
Great design and very thoughtful features. I particularly liked that the developers focused (no pun intended!) primarily on the writing experience in their design. Great tool for writers. Perfect for taking notes on the fly.
@aeronic thanks again Joey! 💛 The update coming on 28th on iOS is even more cleaner than the current one! :)
@aeronic it's still available Joey. Click on 'Launch Offer' (in settings on Mac & in sidebar on iPad, iPhone) :)
@akshitbanta I think because I signed up for the Premium Trial it's no longer showing me the Lifetime Launch Offer (which I didn't see in the first place on my phone...my bad). The trial is already tied to my Apple ID so I'm not sure how to indicate that I want the launch offer. I don't mean to cause so much trouble.
this product is great, but like bear #tags equal spaces. This forces one too categorize notes by tags. It'd be better if spaces and tags were separate. ?makers
"Analysed over 25 top writing apps to pick the most essential features of them all." - this would make a fantastic blog post
I’ve been a long time beta user, great to finally see this on Product Hunt.
They have fixed each and every issue I reported and have incorporated almost all the features I requested (few added to their timeline).
Kudos to them!
@caelin_sutch thanks Caelin! It does give Ulysses vibe, some people say it reminds them of iAwriter, some say Bear :)
@caelin_sutch @akshitbanta speaking of Bear, how does Spaces differ? I haven’t tried Spaces (yet) but I’ve been using Bear for a while and it looks very similar.
👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I’m Apoorv, one of the founders of Spaces. Our main vision while building Spaces was to create a clean, distraction-free writing environment for whenever you need to focus on your words. Here's what we built to achieve that:
1. Instant Markdown with automatically hiding syntax (as soon as you move your cursor away).
2. Instant tagging using hashtags with unlimited nesting.
3. Focus Mode & Mark Line that highlights the current line/paragraph.
4. Automatic suggestion of tags based on your past usage.
5. No need of selecting a word to format it, just put your cursor on it & choose the formatting.
6. Live updating word count in the toolbar (in touchbar for MacOS).
This was the editor functionality. But there's more to a writing tool than just the editor. So after building the very essential features like pin, archive, delete etc., we went deeper:
1. Built everything natively & significantly reduced app load time.
2. Placed majority of the options at the bottom for better UX (phones are getting bigger) & so that the user never sees any option while the keyboard is open.
3. Added drag & drop support, keyboard shortcuts & a spotlight like search.
4. Analysed over 15 fonts & selected the perfect one for both writing & reading.
5. Analysed over 25 top writing apps to pick the most essential features of them all.
6. Added a never seen before feature for a writing app, 'Mark to Read'.
7. Added small, less noticed but essential things missing from other writing apps like multiple selection, proper sectioning between pinned & unpinned notes, add to favorites, sub formatting inside todos, lists and headings etc.
We've been beta testing the product for the last 5 months and are now ready to share it with the Product Hunt community. We're super excited for you to give it a try and can't wait to hear what you guys think!
Spaces is currently available on iPhone, iPad & Mac. Coming on Apple Watch in January 2021.
Special thanks to @kevin for being so helpful & hunting us in such a short time. :)
Bonus: As a launch 🎁 offer, we are giving a lifetime purchase option only for the first 1000 users or till 15th Jan 2021 (whichever comes first).
