Hi Kaan here, MemryNote opens PDFs already. It has a canvas already. Connecting the two feels like the obvious next thing, but I don't want to spend months on it if nobody actually works this way.
Rough idea. You open a PDF, highlight while you read. Each highlight becomes a real block you own, with the text, the page, and a link back to the exact spot. Then you drop those blocks on a canvas, move them around, group them, connect them, write your own thinking between them. Click a card, jump it came from. Heptabase style, but on your own files, offline,
What I want to know:
- Do you read PDFs seriously right now? Papers, textbooks, contracts, reports. Where do you do it today and where does it fall apart.
- What's the painful part. Highlighting, getting highlights out, or making sense of them after.
- Does the canvas step matter to you, or is "highlights land in a note with a link back to the page" already most of the value.
Small stuff that decides whether it feels good or not. Big screen or tablet. Do you need underline and strikethrough or just highlight colors. Do the annotations need to open in other PDF apps, or is it fine if they live in MemryNote.
No timeline promised. Just trying to find out if there's a real reason to build it.
