About
A workspace for developing your own ideas, for makers with more ideas than time. Write a raw thought in seconds, choose the parts worth developing, and build them into a structured plan where every section keeps a link back to the line it came from.
Features
- Problem
- Capturing an idea can interrupt thinking when titles, folders, and tags are required.
- How it works
- Users can write a raw note immediately with no title, folder, or tags; writing saves instantly and works offline.
- Result
- Ideas are captured quickly without losing their original context.
- Why
- Preserves the thought in the form it arrived rather than forcing premature structure.
- Problem
- Raw notes often leave important planning questions unanswered.
- How it works
- The Explore step identifies questions based on what the note already covers; users answer beside the original note.
- Result
- Users can add context and test an idea while keeping the initial thought intact.
- Why
- Guided prompts expose gaps without rewriting or sending the original note anywhere.
- Problem
- Turning a note into a plan can disconnect the result from its source.
- How it works
- Users highlight lines and assign a type such as Goal, Problem, Risk, or Next Step; each section retains its exact source span.
- Result
- Structured plans remain traceable to the thinking that produced them.
- Why
- The user decides what matters, and provenance remains visible when sections are hovered.
- Problem
- Finished ideas need to be handed off in formats others can use.
- How it works
- Ready ideas can be previewed and exported as Markdown, checklist, plain text, project brief, or PDF.
- Result
- Users can turn developed ideas into shareable, actionable artifacts.
- Why
- Exports retain the plan structure; Markdown also quotes the original note at the top.
- Problem
- Optional AI can take over the user's thinking or silently alter source material.
- How it works
- Pro users can request Google Gemini drafts for open questions, then keep, edit, or discard each suggestion.
- Result
- Users get optional drafting help while retaining editorial control.
- Why
- AI is opt-in, only runs when triggered, and does not modify the original note.
