I don't think you should name it that...
Cool idea, lock screen notes actually solve a real annoyance. But yeah, you might want to rethink the name—it’s likely to turn people off before they even try it.
That is a poor choice of naming. Sounds like JewNote.
I was going to say that too. Perhaps it came from a non-native English speaker. Please change it.
I like the idea, if it's actually safe and you can't use this to get into your phone through some tricky means like a buffer overrun.
As a non native speaker, it never crossed my mind and I was quite confused at the first comments...
Mythical Show HN pull
Great demo video as well, I appreciated that it didn't waste time. I'll echo the comments here though, the name doesn't sit well with some audiences.
Simple idea, right surface. Lock screen is the most underused real estate on a phone. Curious how you handle the note limit before it gets cluttered.
First they controlled Hollywood.
Then they controlled all of Politics.
Then they controlled when we went to war.
Now you want them to control your notes???
/s but “Joo” is filterspeak for “Jews”. Sounds antisemitic as fuck.
Joo is also Finnish for "yes" or "yep", name sounds like "yes-note".
You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers
