Higher Notes Origin Story

Three weeks ago I took a screenshot of an Apple note and had a random thought to put it in figma and put higher branding on it. Then I was thinking maybe I should just build this, how hard can building a notes app be? (It’s hard).

Luckily I had nothing to do the next day and I hacked together a simple higher themed notes app and shipped it to TestFlight. Within a week it was approved by the App Store. It now has a Farcaster integration to post directly to higher and a Zora integration to pull higher art into a feed. There is also a mini creator studio to generate a higher branded screenshot essay and post it to Zora. Connect your wallet and click the Zora zorb from any note.

I’m only three weeks in to building this and am having a blast. It’s only a side quest and I’m the only dev so there will be bugs, but I hope people will enjoy it.
