Hey, I'm Peacemaker Bakinahe.
Melons is a one-person project I'm building with a lot of late nights and care.
I kept wanting a simple way to leave notes on videos and web pages to capture thoughts, ideas, and moments I didn't want to forget, but nothing felt right. So I built Melons.
I'm always open to feedback, feature ideas, and ways to make this a better experience. My goal is to keep Melons simple, personal, and genuinely useful as it grows.
