Like many software developers, I've tried countless note-taking applications only to find them lacking in one way or another. Instead of settling for imperfect solutions, I decided to put my skills to the test and create a tool that met my needs. Over the 2023 Christmas holiday, ShowNotes was born. After months of personal and professional use, I'm thrilled to share it with you today, April 19th, 2024.

Show [your] Notes is designed to store and organize your ongoing research on any topic that piques your interest, such as a camera you're eyeing or a collection of JavaScript tricks. Share your knowledge and findings seamlessly with friends and colleagues by providing links, videos, PDF files, images, notes, code snippets, and more, all in a user-friendly, logical format.

Recognizing AI's potential, I wanted to integrate it as an assistive force rather than the driving force in ShowNotes. Enter AI Agents—helpful assistants that enable note creators like you and me to offload time-consuming tasks like SEO, tagging, and classification. ShowNotes also employs AI agents that are developed in-house to ensure the safety of shared content and links. With ShowNotes, AI is your sidekick, not the show's star!

ShowNotes lets you control your data completely, empowering you to share your ongoing research and save others valuable time and resources. But the benefits don't end there – ShowNotes enables you to cultivate your audience, allowing you to engage directly and daily with those who appreciate your work.

Join me in revolutionizing how we share ideas, collaborate, and grow. Welcome to ShowNotes – your new favorite note-taking companion.
