Is it easier for you to make connections and expand ideas than it is to turn your notes into a conclusion or content?
What if you could create a board with all your ideas visible at once, to distill it into a conclusion?

"bare-bones simple"
"gorgeously intuitive"
"damn, that's fast"
"pure desktop gem"
