I'd really love to hear pg's comments of wether there is a piece of software, a tool, that could help him write the essays. Is there something that constantly comes to his mind when he writes, in form of "if only there was X so that I could Y".
Or anyone else's
- pg 13y agoNot really. Vi is all I need. I could probably think of things I'd like but don't realize I need. E.g. controlling an editor directly with my brain, so I didn't need to type. Hard to say about the narrower question of whether there is anything I'd want that's possible with existing technology.
- petergreen 13y agoThank you Paul. I'm missing an ability to collapse / uncollapse parts of written text (meaningfully), so you could see only the plan, or summaries of each chapter, or paragraphs, etc. It would require a very good interface to be useful, but imagine the implications for consuming / learning when knowledge is presented in this way. honestly been wanting to build this for myself forever
- corry 13y agoHave you tried using Workflowy? More of a list app, but could allow for very structured writing as well...
- petergreen 13y agoI'm a big fan. I referred 20+ people to it, so they gave me a pro acc. Love it, but it's not for writing at all.
