Loose Thought

So perhaps things were a bit too loose. There wasn't much on the way of organization, just 'sheets' sorted by created date.

I've added workspaces. The layout has a notebook area with multiple pages/sheets for detailed research, and the desktop area where notes stick around when you move from sheet to sheet. Good for for goals, capture lists etc.

I think this is starting to deliver on the promise of 'paper experience with digital media'.

Hi All,

When I'm picking up a new topic, or laying out a plan, I need lay it out visually to make sense out of it.

I created Loose Thought because I wanted a visual note taking tool that was simple, as easy to use, and as expressive as a sheet of paper. You put notes where they need to be, use size and colour to indicate importance and map out ideas as you go.

So why not just use paper? Well there are benefits of digital media:

- Easy to share / realtime collaboration
- Easy to change
- Easy to include images and links
- Searching

On top of that, it has to work offline, and be fast, with good keyboard support.

And so Loose Thought was born. It's early but I'm already using it daily, and hopefully you find it useful!

Cheers,

Rob.
