This is the first post on the new Thinky blog. We built it because we wanted a place to share the why behind what we're building — design notes, research on how people actually use a notes app, the small ideas that ended up shaping a big feature.
What you'll find here
- Build notes from the Thinky team.
- Short explorations of features and the thinking behind them.
- Occasional opinions on tools for thought, taggable systems, and search.
We're keeping it intentionally lightweight: every post is a markdown file in the same repo as the site, so writing one is the same kind of work as shipping a small change to the product.
A code snippet, because of course
(defn welcome [reader]
(str "Hi, " reader ". Glad you're here."))
Tables, because the new markdown library supports them
| Thing | Status |
|---|---|
| Writing | live |
| Search across posts | maybe later |
| Comments | nope |
Embedding media
You can embed images with normal markdown:
…and video with a tiny bit of raw HTML:
"Tools should reward the time you invest in organizing them."
That's it. More to come.
