I’m writing to follow up on the QP tool here- because I posted before, and it was incredibly helpful. Thanks to those who helped out with all the directions.

RECAP:

Been building a tiny tool to share structured thoughts fast- no tabs, just type and share.

It’s called Quickpoint → https://quickpoint.me/

Curious what people think it’s for. Some use it like a notepad, some for demos or quick specs.

If you gave it 30 seconds:

- What’s your gut sense of what this is? Would you actually use it for anything? What would stop you from using it twice?

Thanks — Trying to see who might use this and for what and adapt accordingly.

Really appreciate any feedback that you can give.

Hahah! Sorry for the language- I've obviously been spending too much time there myself (SOS!)... Thanks again- this is great, I can really use this!

Hi! Just circling back here- what does this mean? I'd like to action it: "Page is missing basic accessibility features" - Can you provide more detail on location perhaps or just more info in general!

[–] Kevisthename@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What link opens your email without sufficient warning?

[–] Kevisthename@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Hi, theres a lot to take into account here. Thank you for your feedback- I will try to address all of this.

Can you give me a location of where this happened? :"Oh, and another one that leads to https://quickpoint.me/quickpoint/animations/PAGE/1 . Fail."

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.

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 vs problem-thank you for catching that.

what would a deployable/self-managed version for an environments like yours look like?

[–] Kevisthename@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] Kevisthename@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 folks 👋

I’ve 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.

It's over on Quickpoint.me

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 on:

What would make this genuinely useful day-to-day?

Would this replace anything you already use?

Are there dealbreakers or things that feel missing?

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! 🙏
