Show HN: Uranus – Memo and Task App

[k2enemy]

I love new note taking and TODO apps, but Docker, Tomcat, Java, Postgres, etc for a minimalist web app? Seems overkill.

[resotto]

Thanks for your reply! So you mean you want more functional one, right?

[dcraw]

Looks cool. You may like https://workflowy.com/

[rococode]

Personally a big fan of Vimflowy, an open source self-hostable version of Workflowy with vim-like controls:

Dev is super pleasant as well :)

[nitins]

I use Dynalist which is also similar to workflowy.

[CraftThatBlock]

Cool! Notion (https://notion.so) is also similar, I use it personally and at work and it's an awesome product.

[resotto]

Thank you! I didn’t know that! My app is similar to that one >< I need to make representatives function which distinguishes this from that!

Uranus, seriously?

"Don't forget about that important meeting we've got tomorrow"

"Boss, shove it in Uranus"

[nudq]

Those stupid jokes are why we'll have to rename the planet in the future (according to Futurama). It'll be called Urectum. Also a great name for Memo and Task apps.

[maxaf]

Could Mianus be worked into this somehow?

- Hey boss, we all set for that meeting in Mianus?

- Sure thing, I’ve got the notes in Uranus.

UR-an-us not ur-ANUS. Although arguably both have potty connotations.

[pbhjpbhj]

"So, what's our next step here?"

"I'm not sure, let me just look at 'your-anus' for a minute."

"Um, sure ..."

Uranus: for anal rententives

> In order to use Uranus, please install Docker in advance

so looks like I've been using it the wrong way all along

[quickthrower2]

Docking Uranus before deploying is wise. All you need to do then is flush and wipe Uranus to minimise your chance of an infection.

Tiny suggestion: GIFs showing someone enter “a”, “b”, and “c” as their tasks tell me that this is more about the system and tech than what it’s like to use it to handle tasks in a real situation. Surely there must be a good example of a real world scenario where moving things around in a hierarchy is useful?

[resotto]

Thanks for your suggestion! I agree with you 100%! I’ll re-upload these gifs as more realistic one!

[resotto]

I fixed it! How about recent ones?

[bigwheeler]

It took me quite some time to install all the dependencies needed to get into Uranus, but once I was in, it was quite pleasant. Are you planning on spending any time making Uranus mobile friendly?

[Zyst]

I guess I’m a child

[resotto]

Thank you for your opinion! If you can use Uranus as a web service (without any operation like install), are you satisfied with it?

Do people forget about the existence of filesystems and that we can literally put texts in a file using your favorite editor?

[djsumdog]

I assume they're starting small but want to expand it out to web interfaces, syncing and maybe even a mobile app. Text files + git do have limitations when you're on a phone or other mobile device.

[quickthrower2]

Notepad++ plus either Dropbox or Github (if related to a project) is my go to!

[kazinator]

You forgot my birthday again. Why don't you stick it in Uranus?

[resotto]

You mean I should implement login function??

[kmonad]

this looks a bit like an overweight but under-featured orgmode. but i might be missing something?

[altotrees]

Despite all the dependencies, I really like the clean, simple UI. Very uncluttered, which for a todo app is super important, in my opinion.

[resotto]

Thanks for your opinion! Yeah, I think so too, so that I made Uranus as simple UI memo & task!

[researcher7]

To be honest, it is hard not to joke about the name, but I'll not do that. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[resotto]

Thanks for your replying! Yup, I need rename this LOL Thanks!

[klohto]

Thank god, I thought HN would bash me for being childish but nice to see I’m not alone...

[dtujmer]

haha Uranus
