Hey devs, makers, and curious folks!
After months of designing, tweaking, and crying into my keyboard, I’ve finally launched something I’ve been quietly building on the side:
👉 RedNote
It’s a mobile-first platform for visual discovery, where people share what they’re using, loving, buying, building — and why. Think of it as a space between Instagram and product hunt, but powered by community recommendations and taste.
💡 Why I built it
I noticed that people (myself included) often ask questions like:
“What app are you using for this?”
“Where’d you get that hoodie?”
“Which AI tool do you actually use every day?”
“Anyone got a rec for a nice productivity setup?”
But the answers are scattered across Twitter threads, comment sections, and half-dead forums.
So I thought: What if there was one clean, aesthetic space where people could share & find cool stuff, all organized by category, vibe, or interest?
That’s what RedNote is meant to be.
🔍 What you can do:
Share a photo of something you like (a product, app, tool, idea)
Add a short note explaining why it matters to you
Tag it with relevant categories or moods
Explore what others are sharing — from indie dev tools to coffee gear to wellness apps
Save what inspires you for later (private or public bookmarks)
🚧 Still early, but live!
The current version is 100% free, no login required to explore.
You can submit a note directly from your phone — we made it as light and fast as possible.
We’re planning:
Community profiles & follow system
Custom feeds by interest (like “tech stuff” or “creator tools”)
More tags, search filters, and a better mobile experience
💬 Would love your feedback

I’d really appreciate your honest thoughts — UI, UX, what feels missing, or even just “this is cool!”

Thanks for reading!
