Life Note▲467I'm excited to share Life Note with you. I'm the maker and have spent the last seven months working on it. Inspired by Tim Urban's Life Calendar idea, I wanted to create something to help people make better life decisions at pivotal moments. After a few pivots, our users' favorite feature turned out to be journaling with AI Mentors, leading to the creation of "1,000 Great Minds."

This project began when I realized that despite trying many fantastic note-taking apps, I often defaulted to dumping notes into chat apps like Slack or iMessage.

It quickly went from 0 -> $700 revenue with One time payment and I decided to remove the one time payment, the line went straight down but since then it rising little by little and has now reached $150 MRR.
