Samata

Hi HN, I’ve been working solo on Samata — a small web app for personal work. I built it because my own notes, tasks, and project context were always scattered across different tools. Notes lived in one app, tasks in another, and projects somewhere else. I wasn’t missing features — I was losing context. Samata is based on a simple idea: everything is a page. A task, a note, a project, an idea — all the same thing at different stages. You start with an empty page, write a thought, link it to other pages, and optionally add a due date or status. When something becomes relevant (for example, due…

What it does

A calm, intentional workspace for your tasks, projects, and ideas – where everything is a Page. No magic, just clarity. Write, link, and organize things explicitly. No AI guesses or hidden rules. Daily notes are built in. Nest pages freely, without planning a system upfront. Your Home shows only what needs attention right now. Nothing extra. Nothing in the way.

A calm workspace for your ideas and projects. Samata helps you think, plan and work with clarity.

Samata collects ideas, materials and plans into a clear structure. Work calmly – everything important stays in view. We try to simplify our processes, but keep using complex tools : complex settings, roles, many unnecessary fields. All of this gets in the way of real work. Samata removes the noise and brings back a simple workflow: you capture an idea – and return to it at the right moment. Chats, agreements and files are scattered – an invoice is not sent, a deadline is missed. CRMs are often too heavy and built for teams, not for solo specialists. Ideas appear quickly – and disappear just as fast. You need a place to capture, connect and develop them so they turn into real projects.…from samata.app

    We're building an app that helps people manage their schedule, tasks and notes all in one place. The goal is to create a workspace, where people can manage their various priorities, both personal and professional, see a single schedule combined of all their calendars and manage their days without switching between multiple apps. At the moment we've implemented Google calendar synchronisation, basic tasks and notes. Also Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, weekly…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
