Hello. Briefly about Structpad: All interaction with app comes down to simple typing, like in a notepad. No buttons, commands or special characters needed. However, you can still build complex structured data.
Something about why I'm building Structpad: I love taking notes and I think it's necessary for deep thinking because our brain is very powerful, but it has one weakness - memory. I noticed that not only the text itself matters, but also some invisible structure in our minds. There are various tools that try to reveal this structure, such as filenames, folders, tags, links, tables of contents, but they are often complex and unreusable. So I wanted more structure, less clutter, and no extra clicks.
Programming languages use OOP for a higher level of abstraction, to create more complex programs, so why not use something similar for our thoughts instead of plain text? In this way, Structpad reduces the load on memory for the sake of the quality of using the mind.
