@ralphrouhana I'm excited about the potential of Stempad. The claim of being the first true alternative to pen and paper for fast scientific writing has me intrigued. Can't wait to see how it transforms my writing process.

Wow, this sounds super promising, @ralphrouhana! The whole idea of combining handwriting with tech for scientific writing is genius. I can totally see how this could make life a bit easier for students and researchers. Love that you’re addressing the issues with current tools! Also, that discount is a sweet deal—perfect time to try it out! Can't wait to see how it evolves!

@blankwebdev Thanks! I appreciate that :)

Hey Ralph, How does it handle complex scientific diagrams or equations compared to traditional text editors? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Hey Kyrylo, the difference with Stempad is that you can work with a variety of different complex scientific illustrations really easily. Pressing "/" pulls up the suggestion list (similar to Notion) to pick a block from there. You can pick between math, graphing, code, chemistry, drawing, and more :)
