Hi Takuya,
I wanted to point out a small mistake in the Preferences dialog, under Backup:
Should be:
Backup stores all your data to the local filesystem
.
Also similar issue here:
āYou can back up your all data to your local filesystemā
Should be:
You can backup all your data...
Hi Rael,
Thanks for the report! Will fix it
Hey Takuya,
Hope you donāt have similar experiences in the future, Here are some corrections/suggestions for your recent article:
But the thing happened.

Thanks Rael,
Itās fine for now. That was so tough!
āThe thing happenedā was a very Japanese-like expression, haha.
Looks like I have to learn more about the sequence of tenses.
Thanks again for the corrections!
Hi Takuya,
A few small corrections on this page:
This looks like a typo:
And at the bottom:
If you don't decide what to build
I think
if you canāt decide what to build
is better
Thanks Rael. Fixed!

Hi Takuya,
Here are some corrections for your recent article: āhow-i-became-a-full-stack-developerā. Nice article, btw.
I build a whole app alone
I built

Iāve written in

But how to get those knowledge efficiently?

Thanks as always, Rael! Fixed

Oops, haha.
Iāve built a scripting language a long time ago but thatās another story lol
Hi Takuya,
I noticed a couple of things on your main page (https://www.inkdrop.app), that Iād like to point out.
āNever miss your ideas
Whenever, even while in offline, you can read and write notes. Just open up the app, then it will be instantly ready for you to start jotting down before you forget the idea.ā
my suggestion:
āNever lose your ideas
Even when youāre offline, you can still read and write notes. Just open up the app, and it will be instantly ready for you to start jotting down before you forget the idea.ā
āAvailable on 5 platforms for just $4.16 per month (annual billing). No credit card information required.ā
That does sound like a contradiction. I would say:
āAvailable on 5 platforms for just $4.16 per month (annual billing). Trial is completely free - no credit card information requiredā
āClarify your thoughts fast, solve elegantlyā
I wasnāt quite sure of the meaning and intent behind this. How does the app help you to clarify your thoughts? What problem is being solved?
Are you trying to say you can āJot down your ideas fastā or/and āElegant user interface helps you think clearlyā. Anyway Iām just giving some feedback, no specific correction.
best regards,
Rael
Hi Rael,
Thanks for the great feedback!
I basically do a patchwork to make those phrases from other websites
Ahh that sounds better.
Agree, thatās clear.
How about this? - āNo credit card information required for 30-day free trialā
Because it would be obvious that the trial is free.
I mean, clarify your thoughts fast by the low-friction note-taking workflow that the app provides so that you can solve issues like fixing bugs and implementing features quickly.
I agree that itās unclear itself.
So, it has the sub-phrase: āGet a low-friction personal note-taking workflow and accomplish more. With your notes well-organized effortlessly, you can stay focused on doing your best work.ā
I tried to say that as short as possible but it resulted in a weird expression
Sounds good to me.
It is a bit of an unusual expression, but hey maybe people like it
Thanks as always. Updated the website
A small typo in the mobile version (android). It says something like you have been offiline
for too long.
It should be offline
Oops, thanks XD
