That was a fun presentation - I now want a tool which does that for me, but does it for everything: documents on my computer, files saved to cloud storage, lists written in notebooks, etc.

I started working on a personal project a couple of weeks ago that might, one day, become something that could be a nice little pension if enough people paid to use it. As I was reading through the article I started to wonder: how could I pitch this to people in just a couple of sentences?

It was an interesting exercise - the best I've managed to come up with is: "My product is a browser-based, collaborative tool for creating canvas animations, infographics and videos. It is NOT an Adobe Animator or After Effects clone, but those programs are an inspiration for the things I want my tool to be able to do."

I found a related tool a while back that I've wanted to try and integrate, as soon as I get into the habit of making more notes & such:

I guess my ideal tool would be able to recognize the different "contexts" that I'm in, and build a searchable, tagged timeline of my browsing and googling and work history in each of these contexts. Provide the capability to cross-link with notes in an athens/roam-like fashion and it'd be gold

I LOVE the “Act 1” concept. I’m going to borrow this ;)
