A physical board that translates digitally.

Imagine a whiteboard that has sticky notes, writing, little tokens and trinkets and the board also becomes a digital version that you can iterate on.

I really like to plan with my hands and in MY memory, but still love the utikity of planning digitally of course.

Love this one! My immediate thought for a build: just a camera with on-device VLMs and LLMs. You could point it at a normal whiteboard (or a wall of sticky notes), and the model could interpret the handwriting, track the tokens, and sync the state digitally in real-time without needing any special "smart" hardware.

It feels like a much more flexible approach than an expensive proprietary whiteboard. Would a camera-only setup cover your use case?

Yeah, I figured a camera oriented solution would probably be the simplest way to actually implement, especially for copying the writing over.

A loooong time ago I had one of those notebooks (rocketbook I think) that you would take a picture of and the software would detect it and upload a digital version of it, it was clunky though. But the thing I liked about it was the little icons you would color in that would denote what kind of note to save the page as.
