| I totally get where you're coming from, maybe I could have worded the title differently. In contexts such as publishing scientific papers and journals, patience and attention to detail are really important. There are however many other contexts where I would argue speed and a simple UX makes a big difference. * Notes that need to be taken on the fly: class notes, lab notes, field observations, general notes * Prototyping, brainstorming, ideation sessions, especially collaborative ones * Drafting outlines * Creating presentations on work you've already completed * Doing schoolwork, such as assignments or lab reports * Creating teaching material on content material you're a subject matter expert in That's a few examples but there are plenty more. The goal isn't to rush the scientific process. The goal is to have a tool that doesn't get in your way and enables speed-of-thought writing for science. This can be helpful in many ways, especially for students, but also for scientists. |
That is, stempad is a blow against artificially slow writing, not against all slow writing.
It ideally doesn't keep you from thinking deeply and may help if it lets you avoid thinking about the tool instead of the content.
