I've been building a Notion clone + publishing tool. Here I'll post dev updates (as well as on Twitter).
Site: http://mindgarden.app
2023-08-08 Just added Stripe payments and created landing page for http://mindgarden.app, my Notion clone (note-taking app) + publishing tool
Next I will prob make a video for the landing page showing what this is + how to use it b/c I don't think it's very clear. Then will try to get it in front of people to get feedback to validate the idea and/or refine the product/marketing.
I know the landing page is ugly because it's not a separate page, but a file directly in the app. I thought it'd be cool to immediately load the app and allow people to instantly start using the product (also I personally hate landing pages, but maybe I need to get over that). This makes it tough to style this page, but perhaps can figure something out later.
I'm building out some sites using http://mindgarden.app. Currently http://codefire.dev (built a couple days ago) and http://jbernier.com use the MindGarden API, and planning to build out those sites + more to show what it's capable of.
Will this succeed? Who knows. In any case I use the product myself, so at least there's one happy customer. We'll see if I can turn this into something useful for others as well.
Let me know what you think / open to feedback. I'm new to the whole entrepreneurship thing - this is actually my first time adding payments to anything I've made (wish I'd done this sooner).

2023-08-24 http://mindgarden.app can now edit files on your local device. Essentially a Notion-like markdown editor that works offline and doesn't require saving to any cloud. Installable as a desktop/mobile app (PWA). 100% free, no registration required
Next up going to make it simultaneously be able to sync offline and to the cloud (currently it's either/or). One of the cools things with that is that it allows turning a folder of documents into an API (how I'm powering blogs at http://jbernier.com and http://codefire.dev). Already can do this when saving to cloud, aiming to get this working with offline folders tomorrow
