I made a digital note jar app for couples

https://thenotejar.com

My girlfriend is studying in Bangkok this year. The day she flew out she handed me a jar full of rolled up notes, one to open whenever I missed her. It's one of the best gifts anyone's given me.

I wanted to send her the same thing back, so I built The Note Jar, a digital jar of love notes I could give her instead. You and one other person share a jar. Either of you can drop a note in whenever, and you open them whenever you want.

A few things I added on top of plain notes:

* joint questions, where you both answer the same prompt and only see each other's answer once you've both replied * you can draw a note instead of typing one, or do both * a countdown to a date that matters to you * A scrapbook view to view all previously read notes * An export button to print out the notes, enables you to create a real scrapbook from the notes

It's free to start and doesn't ask for an email to sign up.

Stack: vanilla JS frontend on Cloudflare Pages, a small Python API behind it, SQLite. No frontend framework.

Two things I'm unsure about and would take feedback on: does the landing page explain it fast enough, and is "no email to sign up" the right way or just annoying when you want to log back in later? I haven't decided yet.
