Insights on Sheep note-taking app potential

DISCLAIMER: Ai was used in the making of this app.

Sheep is a note taking app that i primarily built for personal use, but after using it for a while, i feel like it has some potential.

the main selling point of this app is likely its offline first architecture and cross platform support (with syncing). this app supports android, linux (.deb), windows and mac. i have been using my app on all these platforms for a while now. this app is built around the appflowy editor (the notion competitor)

my main issue with the mainstream apps was

1. they weren't available on linux
2. they relied on syncing a little too much (or slow syncing), and would sometimes not work offline at all
3. i switch devices all the time so i needed something suitable for my use case. this app supports all the devices i use primarily
4. aesthetics/font/ui was not to my taste, and it was difficult to change settings with persistence.

so one day, i finally took out the time and started working on this app. the syncing works well, thanks to supabase and powersync. DISCLAIMER: syncing is not encrypted, so if you're trying it out, keep that in mind.

for me, the app works great. i spent around a week with the profiler once monitoring frame rates, frame timings, component rebuilds, etc. now, the app is smooth on all mentioned platforms.

i wanted to know if other people think this app has potential or not, upon which ill start working on the encryption, and start thinking about what to do about the syncing, as the free tier wont be able to handle more than a few users.

if this post doesnt belong here, i would appreciate it if you would let me know where i should put it. thanks!
