Rich block editor for designers
Write anything without fighting the editor.
Everything research sessions and critiques throw at you fits in one note: headings, checklists, tables, images and PDFs, with slash commands instead of menus.
Headings, lists, checklists, quotes, tables and dividers
Pasted Markdown that arrives as formatted text, and export back out to it
Images, audio and PDFs dropped straight into the note
Slash commands, drag handles and note to note links
Read the PDF where you write about it
Page through a document and take notes on it in the same place.
Structure without the menu hunt
Slash commands drop a table, a checklist or a divider where the cursor is.
Nothing is ever really deleted
Version history keeps earlier drafts of every note you write.

Three things that stop being a problem
Feature lists are easy to write and hard to care about. This is what changes for designers.
Draw the idea inside the note
An infinite canvas sits in the editor, so a wireframe and the thinking behind it stay together.
Explain a decision six months later
Ask why a pattern was chosen and get the note where you argued it out.
Run research without a second tool
Record the session, get the transcript, and pull the quotes into the summary.
In practice
What that looks like for designers
A few moments in a normal week where the app earns its place.
Kickoff
Collect the constraints, screenshots and references into one note per problem.
Exploration
Sketch on the canvas, write the tradeoffs underneath and link to related notes.
Critique
Record the feedback session so you are listening instead of typing.
