+<h1>Introducing Notez</h1>
+<p>2021-01-13</p>
+<p>I have always been a fan of simple note taking applications, since I tend to take a lot of random notes throughout the work day. Sometimes I reach for simple pen and paper, but other times it's nice to stay focused jotting down notes on the same device I'm working on.</p>
+<p>Previously, I just created quick <code>notes.txt</code> files in my open code editor or fell back on the default OS note apps. These worked perfectly fine but often got in my way (or even worse - lost among everything else).</p>
+<p>So I said the hell with it and built <a href="https://getnotez.netlify.app">Notez</a>.</p>
+<h2>What makes Notez special?</h2>
+<p>Nothing, really. It's actually a pretty "stupid" app compared to others on the market. But this one is <em>mine</em>. Plus, it was fun to piece it together on a random evening before bed.</p>
+<p>For those curious, let's take a look at the feature list:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>free and open source (<a href="https://github.com/bradleytaunt/notez">github.com/bradleytaunt/notez</a>)</li>
+<li>uses <code>localStorage</code> to keep changes persistent (helpful for browser crashes, etc)</li>
+<li>includes basic export functionality to download content as a simple <code>output.txt</code> file</li>
+</ul>
+<p>That's it. Mind blowing stuff, eh?</p>
+<h2>Making stuff is fun</h2>
+<p>My main takeaway when building this tiny, dumb app was to just <em>enjoy building fun stuff</em>. It crossed my mind several times how there are already hundreds of note taking apps across the vast Internet. I also thought about how others might look at the code I wrote and go, "Oh my God - why did he do it that way? What an idiot!". But I don't care - I had fun making it.</p>
+<p>Hopefully you enjoy using it as well!</p>
