description: A small Android note app built on Markwon. The idea wasn't new; the point was learning a platform that wasn't the web.

A small Android app for writing Markdown notes and filtering them by hashtag. Built on top of Markwon for the rendering.
The idea wasn't original — every developer writes their own notes app eventually — and the bar for shipping one wasn't high. What I actually wanted from the project was a few weeks somewhere outside the web stack, in a platform with different conventions about lifecycle, storage, and resource constraints. Android delivered that.

I don't use the app anymore (it lost a long battle with Obsidian, which is also why I later wrote [reconcile-text](/articles/reconcile-text-3-way-merge/)). I'd still recommend "write a small thing on a new platform" as a way to recalibrate what you take for granted.
