What it does

Mindraft is a lightweight local-first web app for capturing rough ideas fast, shaping them later, and turning them into clear next steps. This keeps the positioning aligned to the current app and avoids overselling it as a team workspace or full productivity suite. Mindraft currently stores data in the browser on the user’s device, with no user account or cloud sync in this version.

Capture rough ideas fast, shape them later, connect related thoughts, and choose one next step. Mindraft is local-first, with no account required.

Capture the title or raw thought now. Structure and the next step can wait. Title and summary first. Open an idea to edit details, structure it, or add the next step. Mindraft currently keeps your ideas, links and due dates in this browser on this device. A backup file gives you a copy you can restore later if browser data is cleared, you switch browsers, or you move to another device. Restoring a backup replaces the current board on this device. Most tools work best after an idea is already clear. Mindraft gives the earlier version somewhere to land, then helps you shape it without forcing a full project, page, or task system too soon. Save a title or the rough thought in seconds. Type it,…from mindraftideas.com

  • I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
