Very nice. The site is down at the moment, but I watched the video tour and liked what I saw.
I built a prototype of something vaguely similar a few years ago that replicated a desk with papers stacked in piles. No searching, no sorting, no tagging--just typing on notes, dragging them into stacks, and a paintbrush to draw on the deck. This lets you leverage the brain's natural tendency to associate locations with ideas, like a memory palace. Want that recipe from a few weeks ago? You remember it was in a pile by a blue house you drew.
I see a similar philosophy here, expanded with more features and a larger scope. It's also great seeing a notes/organization system that isn't the same stupid three panels, tags on the left, etc.
Looking forward to trying it out when the site returns. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you !!:)
Sorry the site was down, it’s up now. I don’t know what that was.
Yes you’re exactly right. A mind palace.
The mind thinks mostly in maps. Although also in lists maybe but I would say mostly in maps.
And yes there’s this idea that when you can « decorate » your space, then you find things more easily. Because of visual memory. Decorating helps organizing.
Thanks again!
I hope you were able to sign up so you’ll get updates :)
Just a note, I almost immediately closed your site after opening because on my phone all I see when it first opens is a sign up form. I did end up scrolling and seeing the content, but I'd recommend dropping that form either off the front page or at least below the description of what your product is.
I saw the same, then scrolled and saw an embedded youtube video asking me to “sign in to prove i’m not a bot”… I did close the site. I recommend moving the sign up form below some more helpful/descriptive content.
It might be the nostalgia, but I miss the leatherbound feeling of Lotus Organizer, and was hoping this website was something similar. Maybe it could support themes?
I don’t know about Lotus Organizer but by looking at it looks like replicating a notebook on a screen ? Is that correct ?
I do want to replicate that feeling of a white space.
So I see the link.
Yes it could support themes for sure.
You mean that you could choose from multiple pre-defined styles for a page ?
Sorry I didn’t understand at first …
I fixed it, now the sign up form is further down and only shows up when scrolling down.
I didn’t realize that was such an issue.
Thank you for pointing it out !
nice start. i signed up. looking forward to mobile version.
some observations:
items -> stacks, items -> folders, folders -> stacks, stacks -> desktop. each item can only be in single folder. copies of items can go into different folders. drag item to copier machines to duplicate.
Thank you !
Is there some aspects specifically that you like ?
I don’t what KDE baskets is.
But by looking at it now I would say it’s in the same vein, but KDE is not very visual it looks like.
Did you ever try KdE ?
Thanks
Not yet but I can add this option in a second ! And in fact I want to. Also to be able to export it in pdf. What do you think ?
I agree it’s very important to be able to export.
This is cool. And I get where you are going with this...
Being endless is a power. And having structure ie. being able to emerge structure out of this would also be powerful.
I like it. If you make it open source, or maybe a plugin system would allow people to add what they think it would be needed without you having to implement it.
Or just play with this and see where it takes you.

I’m not sure what you mean by Stacks … and copier machine ? For me an item can be copied and pasted anywhere.
What is WISIWG ? Thanks for your feedback :)

What do you mean by « people add what they think » ? Like ideas/comments ? Or code ?
Thanks for your feedback :)
