watching a friend swipe through 400+ apple notes labeled "untitled" today was a horror movie. that's hundreds of ideas trapped behind "i'll organize this later." the answer isn't more folders. it's a capture method that lands somewhere you already check daily — your inbox.

Just gave Aviquill a new look.

Agreed. I redesigned the UI to be more minimal. I might add a cyberpunk theme later once I introduce UI themes.

Hovering your cursor over a checkpoint also shows a minimap of the nearby blocks, so you always know exactly where that checkpoint sits.

Aviquill leans productivity. The vibe is cyberpunk, but the writing flow stays minimal so people can stay in it longer.

Ever get lost in a huge canvas? I added checkpoints you can drop anywhere so you can jump instantly from one part of the canvas to another.

Yeah! I was thinking about adding themes to my app later. For now I'll probably stick with one setup, but I definitely plan on adding customization features.

I was especially inspired by older consoles like the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. Their UI styles were much more stylized before everything shifted toward minimalism, and I think it'd be cool to see interfaces like that make a comeback.

I might end up mixing the two. Cyberpunk, but more minimal to reduce distractions. I originally planned to go for a minimal look, but I was inspired by other apps that added more personality to their interfaces.

The grid is also a bit too strong. I might increase its opacity to tone it down.

I personally think the UI is a bit too dark. I might lighten it up a little.

I'm not sure whether I should go with a minimal UI or a cyberpunk look for the interface.

Yeah, I agree. I take a lot of notes, but most apps make the process way harder than it should be. Notepad still wins because it lets me start writing instantly.

I don't have users yet. Right now I'm focused on getting feedback before worrying about numbers.

If you use note‑taking apps, what's something you wish they handled better?

This was the old desktop version of my app. I ended up scrapping it and rebuilding the entire UI with a new look.

This is Aviquill's old UI

Yeah, I originally went with a board‑style layout for notes (like Trello), but it ended up feeling clunky. Switching to blocks made everything smoother. The original board setup just required too many steps and added unnecessary bloat.

Been iterating on the UI. Here's the current state of it

Building a new block‑based note‑taking app called Aviquill.
Fast, visual, and designed to stay out of your way.
Still in development, but the core is already working.

Showcasing the workflow I set up for this puzzle game I'm making for a game jam. It's all set up so each puzzle element can call out to whatever it needs in order to activate/deactivate, allowing for quick level editing.

Finished adding tutorial prompts to the puzzle platformer I'm making for a game jam.

They are input sensitive, so they change based on your keybinds and if you are using a gamepad or not!

A quick snow hare (Lepus timidus). Fits the current weather

Cervus elaphus/red deer. I'm especially proud of this one, for once after 1+ years of watercolor classes I felt in control of what I was doing (ok, except for the tree shapes in the back, maybe the paper was a little too wet 😅)
