Show HN: Lonenote App - Make handwritten notes to share moments alone

Seems like a private version of PostSecret [http://postsecret.com/]

EDIT: Just an observation.

Suggestions:

1) There is entirely too much text when the app starts up. I thought it was the typical EULA scroll-down-and-hit-agree text and didn't bother to read any of it (this feeds into the point below which I'm guessing this more than 1 page of text mentioned).

2) Taking a photo and adding some text immediately uploads to the public server without saying anything about "Send Message"/"Uploading" or any kind of notification or warning. Looks like as soon as I add text its public with no way to delete either? This is a big problem. Fortunately I chose a harmless non-personal image to test with but people are going to end up uploading images that are sensitive or something they didn't want to upload without even realizing they're doing it. This is bad. Now give me a minute to revoke this app's photo album permissions/delete the app before it decides to upload some more photos without any warning..

Way cool! The handwriting feature is very well done, and seems like a decent barrier to entry for copycats.

One critique - when I was trying to write letters that required multiple strokes, such as 'i' or 't', oftentimes the screen would scroll away from me as I was trying to do the second stroke, and I would make a mess. Maybe it should disable writing while the text is scrolling? Maybe a sine-interp on the movement to make it a little more predictable?

Once I figured out to pause as I wrote to let it finish scrolling, I was confused that sometimes my last letter was still visible, but other times I had to scroll backwards to dot my 'i' or cross my 't'. The undo and scroll commands are very good, but ideally I wouldn't have to use them them unless I made a mistake.

FYI the screen with the longish text and the sunset switches a bit too fast for me to comfortably read the text, which I think might annoy some visitors. Maybe swap text for something a bit shorter? Might help with user mood which might positively nudge downloads a bit :)

Downloaded it. Experience is a bit strange, ex: swipe down to refresh doesn't appear to do anything, then after a 1 min lag it refreshes the content. I love being able to handwrite on my photos, but really hate not being able to save my own stuff. Also, seems there's no way to be updated when people comment on or like your content? Had to delete it. Hopefully the 2nd run smooths some of this out :) Still, the handwriting alone was very cool.

There was a website like this some time ago, people would anonymously post an image and paragraph, others would comment, identified only by an animal avatar. It was called something like weareeverybody.com or something, but it is no more. Seems pretty interesting -- I'm not sure that the "alone" requirement is necessary though. It seems photo + handwritten note provides the necessary context.

Loneliness sharing. I can see teens using this app :)

Talk about niche... I really don't get the desire to (solely) "express their moments alone."

I could see a usecase for Snapchat-esque sending of an image+note with a friend, where the note is private between the two of you (obviously it doesn't expire like SC though).

I love writing by hand in my journal and sending cheesy postcards to my friends, so this is very interesting. Looking forward to the Android version!

Be right back, upgrading instance on DigitalOcean!

I like this a lot. I hope this avoids Chatroulette syndrome.

Any plans for that?

Really like this. Looking forward to using it.
