Yes, exactly! (I'm one of the creators)

We think of Bytebase as your "RAM" or working memory as you're doing your daily work (as opposed to your "Hard Drive").

In our user research, we've seen that over 90% of engineers use some super basic scratchpad (untitled text files, Apple Notes, etc) for their daily work. It's super messy and it seems to be overlooked because it's private.

That idea of having a list of umsorted ideas and of „bucketing“ them one by one with keyboard shortcuts speaks to me.

This is what I do when I prepare a legal brief. Lots of thought snippets and precedents collected. And then to put this all into a structure, the first step is to sort them into buckets. Which later will become the sections in the draft.

So far, I hadn‘t found a tool that does this well, or that makes this easy. Most tools require multiple clicks. Being able to go through the list of ideas and just pressing keyboard shortcuts would definitely be an improvement. I imagine pressing 1, 2, 3, etc. to assign it to the corresponding bucket.

Things I‘d wish for on top of that:

- Ability to create new buckets on the fly - Some balancing mechanism for the buckets - A learning algo that, over time, gets better and better at predicting which bucket a new piece of information belongs into (so I can just press Enter to accept)

Wow very interesting! I don't know too much about the legal brief use case but it sounds pretty similar to researching a coding task.

> I imagine pressing 1, 2, 3, etc. to assign it to the corresponding bucket. That's pretty much it. It's a compound command which allows you to do different things with the shortcut. E.g. 1g to go to 1. 1m to move notes to 1. 1q to create a new bucket in 1,

Re: Ability to create new buckets on the fly - We have that! (keyboard shortcut for it)

> Some balancing mechanism for the buckets - a learning algo Don't have that yet but could be pretty interesting.

Key thing is that your notes are reasonably organized without slowing you down.

Excited to try it out. I just signed up.
