Review my app: Rmmbr.

Here's the URL: http://rmmbrapp.appspot.com/

Rmmbr lets you easily create notes. Type in whatever permalink you'd like to use and it'll create one if it doesn't exist. I use it to replace the Life.txt I've had on my desktop for ages.

It truly is an MVP. I'll add more features soon, but nothing crazy. I dig simplicity.

Stats: took me 30 minutes to build using Python and App Engine. Tweeted it and told my friends, over 100s of notes already.

I'd love feedback on what you'd like to see added or changed. Thanks!

Great project. You might look at this similar idea someone released a few months back.

Ah yes, that'll provide great ideas for my own take on it. Thanks!

I would definitely use something like that one day, if it'd have Emacs keybindings. After switching from Mac OS to Ubuntu, i really miss those (C-{F, B, P, N}, M-{E, A}, yank, insert and so on). Well, all those things.

For now, I'm using Emacs Chrome plugin, that creates a button right next to any textarea to type anything more complex than plain text (indents, lots of moving text around etc).

It's nice to have an online pad. But so far Evernote does everything I ever wanted from online type pad, and I still prefer Remember The Milk - for tasks. Although, I'd be much more happy to use Emacs org-mode, but up until now I haven't seen an online service that'd store and present them in some fancy great way. maybe i should build it?..

Easter egg? http://rmmbrapp.appspot.com/test

How is this better than your Life.txt file on your desktop? If it's for sharing, how is it better than a github gist for example.

If you want to continue working on it; at least add some syntax; a "not-in-a-textarea-view-mode" and such.

It's better because I can have many of them, and I can easily access them from whatever device or computer I'm on.

It's very simple right now, but it does what I need. Perhaps I'll add features like you've suggested, but right now I'm happy with the textarea + ability to add tabs.

Thanks for the feedback though, code highlighting may make sense to implement in the future :)

Wow!

I believe that there is a need for such simple application. I am doing something similar to promote wikis, http://new.simpliwiki.com

Make it auto-save and remove the save button :)

Once I learn AJAX, I'll definitely implement that.

nice app, but I wish you chose another name... http://rmmbr.appspot.com/

Yeah, just was brainstorming and built the app, then looked for whatever name would kinda fit. I am going to use http://rmmbr.org/ though, as people will clearly get annoyed having to type appspot.com.

For some of us non-native English speakers,"rmmbr" might be difficult to remember.

Yeah, I was debating going with something else, but I thought remember without the e's wouldn't be too tough. Any suggestions (that I could just mask on top of rmmbr for others who prefer it)?

What I meant was that I already have an app called rmmbr running on appspot - http://rmmbr.appspot.com/ - so it would be cool if you used something other than rmmbr.

I don't have any trademark etc, so there's nothing I could do about it, it would just be nice. (My original name was "rmbr", btw, I changed it after a request from someone who had a similar app with that name)
