This is a very basic app to help you converse with people you work with or loosely know but never know what to talk about. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts, any feature requests, any issues etc<p>www.chaikar.com
Good start. A couple things:<p>1) If its a password field, make it a password field. Typing in a password and seeing the text is a little weird.<p>2) When typing "@name likes blah," it becomes obvious when viewing the topics that you use @ as a delimiter and just take whatever is before it for the note, as the note was empty.<p>3) Try to make the input more robust - such as allowing name first, most of the time people will want to type in the topic (in this case, the person) first.<p>4) I'm sure you are working on it but a more informative interface about the notes you've kept would be nice. If a person is socially awkward they may not even remember names - much less who they've put in the system.<p>5) I'm not sure what your proficiency with HTML is or if you were just lazy because this is a throw-away app, but I'd look into doctypes and W3C validation. You use an xml style line break so I get the feeling you know a little about it, but for such a simple interface there shouldn't be any reason to have 25 errors on it.<p>I hope this criticizing wasn't too harsh - I aim for it to be constructive.<p>Neat idea too, I know a guy I work with that could totally use this.
This is quite minimalist but interesting. I think you might get more traction if you spent some time writing up the "methodology" or workflow you're proposing here.<p>That is, if I understand it, I think what you're suggesting is that people use this app to take simple notes on acquaintances (e.g., "wife's name is Jane", "has three kids", "went to Penn State", etc.) and then use this app to recall those notes when you are about to meet these people (say, at a party or business function). A little writeup on this approach may help you clarify the value proposition for potential users, and should help you get some inbound links from productivity blogs.
