Hey everyone 👋
I built OpenNotepad because I was frustrated with how much friction most journaling apps have.
I just wanted to open a page and write — but almost every app asked for signup, setup, or structure before I could even begin.
So I built something simpler:
→ Open the page
→ Start writing
→ Close it
No account. No onboarding. No distractions.
It’s still early, and I’m learning what people actually need vs what gets in the way.
Would love your honest feedback — especially what feels unnecessary in modern apps.
