This is a very cool concept! Please continue developing it. I think this could be a very nice way to take and reference notes.
Potentially operate one or two paragraphs at a time, presenting all related information, and allow people to "pin" search terms.
This would make writing much nicer by collating the information as you need it.
- amadeuspagel 6y agoThanks, but I don't know what you mean by "operating one or two paragraphs at a time". I guess pinning search terms means showing them at the top so that you can click on them to search them? I don't think that would much value, because it would be faster to type, except on mobile. It might be useful as a reminder, though. EDIT: Do you mean having two search fields at the same time? I always just open two windows when I need that, but it would probably make sense for thinktype to support it "natively".
- hazz99 6y agoMy bad! Typed too fast late at night. I think this is a really nice tool for information synthesis. Instead of manually finding info to think about, it appears naturally, and improves the quality of your writing and thought. However, for this to work, it needs to find information relevant not just to the last sentence, but your entire of thought. This is better-represented by prior paragraphs than the current sentence. Further, you probably already know what you’re going to write about, so you could “pre-seed” the results with special words. And if you’re looking for something that’s not appearing, you’d need to search for it. Just very random product thoughts. Cool prototype!
- amadeuspagel 6y agoYou can already write several paragraphs in the search field, and it will automatically search for all the words in all the paragraphs.
