William tried to turn moments into something meaningful by building Takeaway.

In his early twenties, William Sayer wasn’t building pitch decks or chasing funding. He was chasing altitude, scaling giants like Everest, Manaslu, and Ama Dablam. He spent years as a vibe-seeking nomad, traveling to remote corners of the world, driven by a love for adventure and the desire to push limits.

But somewhere between summits and snowstorms, a new thought crept in:

Climbing gives you perspective; he wanted to build something that lasts..

So, William did what very few do: he came down from the mountains and dove headfirst into the world of building.

From zero code to first builds

Back on the ground, William’s desire to make a lasting impact led him straight into tech. He wasn’t a developer, but he had ideas, and no-code tools gave him a way to test them fast. It worked. For a while.

But as his ideas grew, no-code didn’t work well anymore. Everything came down to limitations. What he really wanted was flexibility, speed, and space to create without compromise.

That’s when he discovered Create, and everything changed.

The rise of vibe-coding

Create wasn’t just a tool. It was a shift. Powered by LLMs and agentic coding, it unlocked a whole new way of building: fast, flexible, and intuitive.

For someone like William, creative, visual, and deeply curious, it was the perfect match. He didn’t need to learn complex syntax. He needed to build what he felt.

So he coined a new term:

Vibe-coding

Building products the way you feel them: fluid, fast, and full of intent.

No rigid frameworks. No drag-and-drop limits. Just you, your ideas, and a canvas that adapts with you.

The idea that stuck

While traveling and talking to people from all walks of life, William noticed something: conversations shape us. But we forget most of them.

The wisdom your mentor shares over coffee. The dream your friend casually mentions on a call. The quiet truth someone opens up about. It all gets lost in the noise.

That’s when he had the spark:

What if there was a way to remember the moments that matter?

So he built TakeawaysApp.io, a beautifully simple app to capture the most impactful parts of your conversations.

Launching fast, with purpose

Using Create, William built V1 of TakeawaysApp in just two months and launched it on the App Store in June 2025.

The app lets you:

• Capture key insights from any conversation
• Tag the person you had it with
• Set reminders to reflect or act later

It’s not a productivity tool. It’s a presence tool.

Takeaways help you be more thoughtful, more intentional, and more connected with your friends, family, colleagues, and even yourself.

Here’s why TakeawaysApp stands out:

• It’s fast adding a takeaway takes seconds
• It’s human designed around how people talk, not how they type
• It’s smart you’ll get reminded at just the right time
• It’s personal every note is tied to someone who matters

William didn’t just build an app. He built a tiny memory machine for relationships. A tool that helps you keep track of the stuff that makes life rich.

TakeawaysApp is growing quickly. But William’s not just adding features for the sake of it. He’s doubling down on thoughtful scale.

The goal is to help people around the world remember the details that make them better friends, partners, teammates, and leaders.

The big takeaway

William’s journey isn’t traditional. And that’s what makes it powerful.

• He went from mountaineering to startup building, with no CS degree and no roadmap
• He started with no-code but moved into vibe-coding once he hit the ceiling
• He followed curiosity, not credentials, and built something that’s already changing lives

This isn’t a story about hustle or hype. It’s about momentum, intention, and the right tools meeting the right mindset.

And now, TakeawaysApp can help people stay connected to the moments that matter.
