Interactive multi-mode block-based split-panel diagramming, note-taking, and brainstorming tool. It features Text Editor, Drawing editor, Code Editor and Math Editor. You can move the idea blocks across panels or within! or Open a new tab if you want more!
While I was working on new idea or a feature, or even refining a new thought, something struck me again and again, Instead of just one focused thought, I found I had many streams of them trickling down in their own channels down in to their worlds. An Idea can have many dimensions. Often times, the effort to tie in to that central tenant failed miserably, the channels were not in the same bases, rendering the single and focused page of note taking completely useless. What if we let them all stream parallel in to a digital space, instead of forcing our minds?
When you are forming an idea, or getting out what’s in your head, for technical or non technical work, your mind shouldn’t be coerced into refine at the origin itself, should be able to stream them without any friction. and They may be in different forms like diagrams or even code. They can even complement each other, i.e the comparative notes side-by-side with text or diagrams helps the symphony of the ideas. Think of a meeting agenda with the previous meeting notes in the same screen? There will be more perspective and a code snippet with quick explanation on what code does, just next to it? there’s more understanding.
ThinkPost would be an app that sits between your mind and an information repository. It would be something you brainstorm with your mind, share your screen to note things down and discuss an idea with your team, before you refine them for the developer specs or the wiki of your project management tool.

ThinkPost's concept of allowing multiple streams of thought within a single workspace is intriguing. The focus on capturing ideas without immediate refinement aligns with how many people naturally think.
Key Questions:
- How does ThinkPost facilitate collaboration between multiple users on the same workspace?
- How can users organize and categorize different streams of thought within a workspace?
- Does ThinkPost integrate with other productivity or project management tools?
As a developer with experience in note-taking and collaboration tools, I'm interested in how ThinkPost is built. Here are some potential areas for collaboration:
- Enhancing real-time collaboration features for synchronous brainstorming sessions.
- Incorporating AI to assist with idea generation, organization, or summarization.
- Exploring advanced visualization techniques to represent complex ideas and relationships.
I'd love to learn more about ThinkPost's technical architecture and explore opportunities to contribute to its development.
@max_savonin1 Answers to the Questions,
1. At this point, we don't have collaboration enabled, it's an app built from the viewpoint of an individual user organizing his or her work. I'm thinking of it in the roadmap, but it would be a departure from the core idea.
2. With the four panels and draggable text blocks, they should be able to note them down, move them around either in the same panels or different panels, and as panels are easily accessible, the brainstorming will be potentially vibrant, complementing and harmonizing. Even if something more needs to be captured, just pop open a new tab!
3. We have provided exports for Markdown and HTML, basically it should support all the tools on the web since you can just get it exported - as a file or paste the exported contents.
Yes, realtime collaborations are a needed for a synchronous session.
AI integration is needed, sure.
So we have gone with the basic visualization tool that could be useful - drawing. As for me, I think text, drawing, code and math usually captures any kind of complex ideas in a simplistic way.
Sure, technically app is architected in a nosql way with Firestore with no any vertical searches, it won't lag or have any performance issues even if a million users enter and use at the same time because there's no any db wide/table wide searches. It works with any scale.
Thanks for the questions and feedback!
Hey Mohammed,
How does ThinkPost handle version control or collaborative editing if multiple team members are working on the same project?
Do you have any plans to add AI-assisted features for things like summarization or idea generation?
Congrats on the launch!
@kyrylosilin At this time, it's on the individual user side of brainstorming, not really a team based tool. Yeah AI assisted features are on the roadmaps as well. Thanks!
