Hey Guys 👋
I’ve been building PINO — Write by Hand ✍️
The idea behind PINO is pretty simple: I wanted a digital notebook that just lets you write.
It’s mainly for people who prefer writing by hand on a tablet, touchscreen, or stylus instead of typing everything.
Open a Pino, grab your pen, and start writing. No complicated setup, no overwhelming productivity features — just a simple digital canvas for your thoughts, notes, and sketches.
Current features:
✍️ Handwriting & sketching
🎨 Multiple pen styles, colors & highlighters
🖼️ Add images and visual elements
💾 Automatic saving
🔗 Share your Pino with a link
🌐 Private or publicly viewable
📱 Installable as a PWA
I’m intentionally keeping PINO simple and focused, and I’m still figuring out what features are actually worth adding without turning it into another complicated productivity app.
Would love to hear from fellow builders — especially if you use a tablet/stylus for taking notes. What would make a simple handwriting app like this genuinely useful for you?
I'll drop the demo and app link. 👇
