An anonymous Substack post accuses compliance startup Delve of “falsely” convincing “hundreds of customers they were compliant” with privacy and security regulations.
Like many people, director Valerie Veatch was intrigued when OpenAI first released its Sora text-to-video generative AI model to the public in 2024. Though she didn't fully understand the technology, she was curious about what it could do, and she saw that other artists were building online communities to share their new AI creations. The […]

I finally built this app after many years of being sick of unlocking my phone every goddamn time I need to take or view my notes. It particularly sucks when I'm doing my grocery and going down the list.
I started building last year June. This is a native app written in Kotlin. And since I'm a 100% Web dev guy, I gotta say this wouldn't have been possible without this AI to assist me. So this isn't "vibe-coded". I simply used the chat interface in Gemini website, manually copy paste codes to build and integrate every single thing in the app! I used gemini to build it just because I was piggybacking on my last company's enterprise subscription. I personally didn't subscribe to any AI (and still don't cuz the free quota seems enough for me :)
So I certainly have learnt alot about Android development, architecture patterns, Kotlin syntax, and obeying Google's whims. Can't say I love it all, but for the sake of this app, I will :)
Anyway, I finally have the app I wish existed, and I'm using it everyday. It not only does the main thing I needed it to do, but there's also all this stuff:
- Make your notes private if you don't want to show them on lock screen. - Create check/to-do lists. - Set one time or recurring reminders. - Full-text search your notes in the app. - Speech-to-text. - Organize your notes with custom or color labels. - Pin the app as a widget on your home screen. - You can auto backup and restore your notes on new install or Android device. - Works offline. - And no funny business happening in the background https://joonote.com/privacy
It's 30-day trial, then a one-time $9.99 to go Pro forever.
I would love you all to check it out, FWIW.
Ok thanks!
