I've been using the system quite a bit these last two months since I started building it, and still getting lots of value from it. The whole thing is open source and for the hacker-type there are enough instructions to build your own: https://github.com/dbieber/GoNoteGo, so hopefully someone here can get some value out of it as well :)
I'll probably post this again as a Show HN a bit later once I reach a good point for sharing (although tbh I think it's pretty good for sharing as is).
Happy to take questions; I'll try to monitor the discussion for a bit. Looking forward to seeing what ideas folks have here!
Infuriatingly, I have a one-button record on the apple watch, but it's output is funneled only into the iphone app, so I need to periodically take this app and manually go through notes.
It's both sad and exciting to see how many low hanging fruits still exist for very basic needs.
One of my "basic needs" is short term reminders. For example, I forget things in the course of a minute or two. So I created a prototype app at a hackathon where I could push a single button on the watch, record an audio clip, and it would play back automatically after a minute. It worked, but the audio volume you could manually set as a third party developer was way lower than what Apple could do themselves so you could barely hear the audio! Still.. I'd like to re-explore that idea one day as it would improve my quality of life hugely.
I've shared the project with a small group who then each built their own Go Note Go, and one of the folks in this group is doing exactly what you suggest: adding a small display and hacking around with it. Don't think it's added yet, but looking forward to seeing what he does with it.
