🛑 The Problem
Handwriting (via paper/tablet/board), a medium that is often substandard, is currently the only viable way to do fast or impromptu scientific writing.
â–ş Students often resort to text editors unoptimized for science, such as Notion or Word, to take notes and write assignments.
â–ş Scientists use PowerPoint, wrestle with slow and expensive legacy software, and resort to handwriting to take notes, create write-ups, or make presentations.
â–ş Professors often upload low quality scans of their messy handwritten class notes.
• There are many more examples like these!

@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.

Also, that discount is a sweet deal—perfect time to try it out! Can't wait to see how it evolves!
@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 :)
