patrickz··on Show HN: Anyword.cc – A simple exercise to get you unstuck
Hi, thank you for the comment. For "I don’t see why you wouldn’t just do it in any semi-competent text editor", I have explanation. I used to write with Pages (text editor) with my MacBook. After doing it for almost half year, I found that it is quite inconvenient. First, it is not private since my wife will use my computer so she mights see those files contains my private thoughts. This makes me unable to let go of myself while I am writing. Secondly, after saving hundreds of files, I found it is hard to navigate and review the journals I've written in the past. Of cause, there is something called Evernote, but there's no word counter. Then I realized I need something better, or at least suitable for my need, so I built this app. I don't know if anyone will use, but I know I will use it everyday myself. Haha.

patrickz··on Show HN: My first native iOS app – CoffeeAM, an easy tool to boost creativity
Hi, HN! Really excited to share my little project here. Being an product manager and a software developer, it was often hard for me to stay creative and productive during the 'ideation' stage. Hence, I decided to make this app. CoffeeAM provides various coffee shops ambient sounds to boost your creativity and productivity. According to a research from University of Chicago("A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition"), the chatter and clatter noise will get your creative juices to start flowing. So, you can use this little app to boost up your creativity anytime and anywhere! Really excited to hear feedback from you all :)
