Hey All!

Been tinkering on a side project called Quickpoint. It’s a super lightweight, keyboard-first writing and sharing tool. Think of it like a notepad that instantly turns what you type into a shareable page- for notes, code demos, quick thoughts, or even presentations.

The goal is to stay in flow. no tabs, no formatting fluff, just type and share. I’m still very early (beta-ish stage), so I’d love feedback!

It’s Quickpoint.me

You don’t need to sign up. just hit the link and try it. Would really appreciate your thoughts, and happy to check out anything you’re building too.

Thanks! 🙏

    Hey thanks for sharing your project! H hopefully this feedback is helpful.

    I wasn’t able to get far on mobile. It was annoying to have to be in landscape mode, and then I couldn’t advance the tutorial in the demo.

    If it is supposed to be keyboard-based, maybe just don’t allow phone users?

        No, it was just a silly throwaway joke! I’m probably not the right target user, but if I end up trying it, I’ll give you feedback…

    Beautiful

    I found a bug

    All your stories will be viewable at http://quickpoint/

    the tld is missing + http

    Btw how to use without signup? Closing demo popup closes the interface.

    Is this self hostable?

      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.

        It’s not self-hostable (yet). Would that be important (why?)…

        If I use it as a note taking + sharing with few friends. If I publish the notes on the open internet or use it as a pastebin with nice formatting then no.

        Though in the former case client side encryption also works otherwise.

        Also I generally prefer open and self hostable software cause vendor lockin, central service going down, enshittification etc. If the software is open users can contribute and fix bugs too which makes the service more featureful and robust.
