People are tired of being optimized.
There is a real shift towards softness and simplicity. Finding joy in technology in a way we did in the early 2000s.
BLEEP ME! ♡ is a simple reminder app where you schedule little notes to yourself.
Write a little note, pick when, and BLEEP bleeps you when its time.
It does less on purpose. Less to manage, less to dread, less between you and your life.
Simplicity is the radical choice in an age of overwhelm, and it’s also a product that feels fun to touch.
It’s slow, it’s pink, it’s encouraging.

*Workflow*
I used Claude first to articulate the idea I wanted, then I pasted it into Stitch letting it start from the bare minimum. It was a bit of a shitshow, mostly from my side because I didn’t have a clear picture of the design I had in mind. After creating a DESIGN.md (http://DESIGN.md) in Claude Design I uploaded it to Stitch and used 3.1 pro and it went almost seamlessly after. Stitch is definitely better at executing than helping ideate. Then I exported it to Loveable and added a couple of UX corrections.
*Notes on first time using Stitch*
- A little confusing the first time - I wasn't sure where things were going to pop up on screen. Some signposting for new users would help.
- The window sizes keep changing on their own, which is disorienting.
- I'd love to work on a single canvas. Keeping every past version visible by default feels wasteful and actually makes me less likely to iterate. Let me open past versions only when I deliberately choose to.
- If past versions do stay, move them up/out of the way automatically so the current work stays front and center.
- I pressed "Go back" and it re-uploaded everything I'd deleted - still no idea how to go just one small step back.
hope you enjoy! 💕
