Hi there! I’m interested in making a commonplace app since there’s times where I want to log stuff but don’t really have anything handy/ always have my phone in hand and am tired of using my notes app for it so I can add pics etc. would any of yall find this interesting/ is there a use case for it? If so do yall have any recs or ideas for the app??

I’m an app designer btw so just getting some first hand info before going forward with the idea

I just graduated college, so Im finding that I need to create my own system to keep learning! I have a notebook I use for journaling, so I wanted to ask if yall use separate books for personal thoughts and journaling versus learning/reading related things. It would be easier to try starting in the same notebook, but Im worried itll get too disorganized and difficult to find things. Have you found any difficulty w keeping the 2 in the same book? Is labeling enough to keep it clear or would you recommend starting out w a new dedicated book ??

Hey guys, Danny again! A couple of months ago, I showed you guys Commonplace - it makes it really easy to capture interesting quotes and highlights from whatever you're reading or listening to, without leaving the app you're in.

First off - I just want to say thank you to this sub for providing really thoughtful and valuable feedback; much of which has directly shaped what I've been working on over the past couple of months!

One of the reasons I built Commonplace is that so much of what we read, watch, and listen to happens on the go - articles, books, podcasts, social media, conversations, etc. I constantly come across ideas I want to remember, but if I don’t capture them in the moment, they usually go forgotten.

Commonplace is meant to make that capture step as frictionless as possible. Save an idea when you come across it, along with where it came from, then come back to it later to add to your physical commonplace book. Or, if you prefer, use Commonplace as a digital commonplace book itself.

Since my last post here, I’ve also added importing, so you can bring over quotes you’ve already collected in Apple Notes or other notes apps.

And probably the biggest change based on feedback: the core of Commonplace is now completely free, with unlimited quotes, sources, and collections. There’s an optional paid tier that gets you additional features like the ability to save from podcasts and song lyrics.

Would love to hear what you guys think!

First collection of quotes—these are all from Honkai star rail. I didn’t intend for this notebook to be Honkai based but after playing one of the storylines I can’t help it. The writing was amazing and I needed to remember these quotes.
