Hi! I made this and I'd appreciate any kind of feedback from you guys.

It's not clear how this is better than Evernote, Google Docs, or friends. Is the differentiating factor integrated sketches?

I don't usually say this, but this might be one of the few cases where it'd make sense to have a video on your homepage (I might just be thinking that because I currently have headphones in).

You're right, I definitely need to work on the copy, and the landing page in general.

Evernote and Google Docs are both great, but their interfaces are too cluttered for me and using them simply doesn't come close to using a good paper notebook. It just isn't as delightful. A physical notebook has its own drawbacks however (don't want to carry another item around with me, it's difficult to organize it into different sections, etc.), so I knew I had to create a software solution. That's my vision for Flownote.

Looks nice, think I will use it.

Thank you! In case you're interested, these are the things I'm working on now: sub-notebooks, exporting to PDF, and sharing.
