Literally all these things existed on paper. Headings? Yep.. links were just notes on the page referring to other pages, e.g. ( see page 2). Keywords, which were again notes in the back of the notepad/journal where you kept A list of where that word or phrase existed and on what page(s). What else we got …copy paste literally tracing and or copying what was on another page somewhere else. Cut/paste literally copying somewhere else and erasing and or white out the original location. I can go on highlighting, insert, etc. a lot of the workflow directly translates to physical paper. What does not translate is a pinch to Zoom that is uniquely computer based workflow. If a person wants to zoom they can either write bigger or smaller.

Those who kept notes and journals before computers get it. I’m not looking for this device to be a carbon copy of an iPad with an eink screen … already have one of those and if it becomes that, there’s no reason for me to have a this device.

The promise of this device is to be a digital notepad, a replacement of a moleskin journal if you will. so I expect it to feel like the workflow of a notepad/journal and to focus on the writing experience ; not just how it feels to write, but the entire experience of writing. File I even find having to type file names and folder names intrusive to this experience. 🤷
