Welcome to your notes

A quick tour to get you started. Edit or delete this note any time.

Writing

Notes are plain Markdown. Hit the New button in the header to start a fresh note. The first # Heading in the body becomes the post's title.

Organizing

Drop a note into any folder by typing its name in the Folder field — folders are created on demand. The home page gives you four lenses on your library:

• Notes — flat reverse-chronological list of everything at the root
• Folders — your folder tree, plus the special folders below
• Recents — everything you've touched, newest first
• Tags — grouped by #tag

Special folders

These appear as cards above your regular folders on the Folders tab:

• Pinned — a curatorial flag. Click the pin icon on any post to flag it for follow-up.
• Background — a hidden folder. Notes you move here stay searchable but don't appear on the main feed.
• To do — action items you want to keep visible.
• Shared — posts, folders, and tags with a sharable URL. Shared folders and tags get their own public landing pages showing only the posts you've shared, and they are listed as chips on your profile.
• Published — public posts. They appear on your /u/<handle> page for the world to read.
• Deleted — trash. Restore or empty from here.

Pinned / Shared / Published are status flags, not physical folders — a post lives in its real folder and can be in any combination of these views.

Sharing controls

You can share at multiple levels:

• Folders and Tags — Share a whole folder or tag. They will show up on your public profile under "Shared Collections" with their own landing pages.
• Iterations — Choose to share either "all versions" (the entire iteration group) or "only this version" (a single iteration) of a post.

Per-post actions

Each post has a toolbar:

• Copy link — copy the post URL.
• Download — grab the raw .md file.
• Play — text-to-speech (set up your own voice in Settings → AI).
• Pin / Share / Publish — flip the status flags above.
• Tag — add or remove #tags.
• Delete — move to Deleted.

Your public page

When you publish a post, it shows up at /u/<your-handle> — a clean, signed-out-friendly reading page. Pick or change your handle in Settings → Profile.

Iterations

When you want to refine a thought without losing the original, use Add iteration on the post. Each version is preserved; the latest iteration represents the post in lists. Earlier versions are still reachable from the iteration history.

Sign-in options

You can sign in with Google, with a magic link, or with an email and password. Set or reset your password from the login page.

Happy writing.
