I respect the self-awareness. A lot of tools can be cool in theory, but if they don’t slot naturally into your existing habits or workflows, it’s hard to justify their point.
Curious though: are there any tools you didn’t think you’d stick with, but ended up integrating into your routine anyway? Sometimes those unexpected use cases are the most revealing.
Cheers! If you end up giving it a go- I’d love to hear what you think. I don’t know who the target user is right now btw!
Wow! This is great stuff! Really appreciate you taking the time to lay this out.
I get your point: in high-stakes, security-conscious environments like yours, needing a persistent internet connection is a non-starter. Your two conditions (sync only on verified safe networks + trusted server endpoints) are a clear, actionable framework I hadn’t articulated so well before-thank you.
Cheers for calling out the muddiness around purpose. I started this as a tool to scratch a personal itch, but I’ve been deliberately open-ended in trying to understand where others see value. Still, the lack of clarity does become friction-especially when account creation is required up front. I’ll be rethinking that flow and messaging.
Also noted (and agreed) on the accessibility issue. I’ll fix the <button> vs <a> problem-thank you for catching that.
what would a deployable/self-managed version for an environments like yours look like?
Fair enough! Quickpoint’s super JS-heavy right now, but I should definitely add a fallback or preview. Curious though, what would’ve made you stick around?
I’ve been thinking about a self-hosted option, but your framing helps prioritize why that matters beyond just checking a box. Also noted on the client-side encryption. It makes total sense in those scenarios.
Would love to hear more about how you’d ideally deploy or manage a self-hosted version: Docker container? CLI? Something else?
Hey- I really appreciate you checking it out and sharing this.
That’s super helpful feedback. The mobile experience definitely isn’t where it should be yet, and you’re right: landscape-only and keyboard-heavy interactions just don’t translate well on phones.
I’ll look into either improving mobile usability or making it clearer that it’s a desktop-first tool for now.
Out of curiosity—do you usually build or write things on mobile? Or were you just casually checking it out?
This is hilarious hahahah However, I’m not sure how to make constructive changes based on this - care to elaborate ?
Hey- Thanks for the feedback. You’re right about the lack of overview or clear purpose- I’m aiming for more of a “just type and share instantly” kind of thing. At the end of the day, I guess what I want to know is- what could this be used for, you know? I might have one idea, but I could be wrong.
Curious- and it may sound basic but I don’t wanna assume- is offline use important for you mostly because of security or something else (travelling/using hotel wifi, etc).
Hey-this is super helpful, thanks a million for taking the time- really appreciate it.
You’re absolutely right- Those three questions should be answered in the front page. Do you have any examples of tools that do that well? (feel free to screenshot or link)
Right now, I’ve intentionally kept things a little broad, because I’m still trying to learn from users like you-especially around what you think QuickPoint might be good for. But I totally see how that ends up being a bit confusing-especially if you’re not sure what you’re even looking at. I’ll tighten up the messaging!
Really helpful note on the mobile view-I’ll check Firefox Android on that resolution. Appreciate the heads up!
Is there a type of tool you do use often (for writing, sharing, collaborating, etc)?
Really appreciate the honesty!- That’s a pretty good comparison (markdown for powerpoints? LaTeX for powerpoints). Can I ask: what kinds of stuff do you tend to write or share? (E.g. notes, docs, code snippets, outlines?) Just trying to learn where it might fit in or if it’s totally off-track for folks like you.
First of all- thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated- honestly. I can use this stuff to advance and shape it move forward.
I’ll look at that bug straight away!
It’s not self-hostable (yet). Would that be important (why?)… I suppose it depends what you’re using it for.

Hey! That’s fair enough! I appreciate the honesty. Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t it stick? Maybe your feedback could shape how it works. Just trying to learn so In can improve it. much appreciated- really!
Cheers! I don’t get why people would use vimwiki though?
Duly noted about the design and animation- if it’s for notes- keep it simpler and plainer?
What text editor do you use? And what are you using it for (like, what specific kind of text are you writing?)… Where do you usually sync? Sorry for all the questions… this is the best insight so far- I can defo use all this info.
