About Notemine

Short Answer

We want to know what you are thinking and how you are feeling!

Long Answer

Notemine grew out of a project developed three years ago called BoxedThoughts out of an interest to see how people would post their thoughts when given a limited space under the guise of anonymity.

Notemine grew from just posting thoughts, to making connections through those thoughts and emotions.

Users can only post every thirty minutes, as to not spam the site, but to make thoughts that carry substance. They can only edit their previous thought, as once a thought is made, it becomes permanent - you cannot change what you have thought about.

Tools

Notemine is currently in version 2.0 beta. It was built completely from scratch within the span of a month with the help of the Symfony framework, and lots of late nights consuming sports drinks.
