The problem

Long-form writers were juggling Docs, Notion and a sprawl of screenshots. They wanted one surface that could hold interviews, source material and the piece itself without pretending to also be a project manager.

The approach

Three panes, no chrome. Sources on the left, draft in the middle, notes docked as a scratchpad. Everything keyboard-first with a command palette that indexes across every document you've ever opened.
