thinking about how writing shapes ideas

the best ideas come when you stop trying to organize them.

the act of filing kills the act of thinking.

three things became clear today:

what settled ← today 1/1 →

42w ⚙

trails

write first. context follows.

open the page. pick a trail. write. no setup before you start.

continuous — one living document, each day its own chapter. discrete — a fresh page each day; past pages live in memory.

mon · apr 13 · ship the kernel

the invariant is simple. one doc. no duplication.

everything else is decoration on top of that.

thu · apr 16 · user testing

watched three people open it cold.

the empty page didn't scare anyone — the blinking cursor did.

today · launch readiness

onboarding fits the new window size.

pins

carry forward what matters

pin notes and boards to any trail. they stay there across every session.

pin to a parent trail — every child trail sees it too. make it global when it belongs everywhere.

what's new in v0.2

stable. polished. linux-first.

outline block holding two q&a blocks and a task with nested bullets

tools nest. outlines hold q&a. tasks hold bullets. every block lives inside another.

slash menu with heading, task, bullet, numbered, table, outline, q&a entries

slash commands. every block, one keystroke away — heading, task, bullet, numbered, table, outline, q&a.

font and size picker with lora, inter, mono, system circular options and a slider

font + size. the type that suits the way you read — lora, inter, mono, or system.

trail tree with shizumu parent and v1.0 roadmap, v0.2.x, launch, flathub submission children

trail nesting. trails inside trails — nest as deep as the thinking. parent shapes context for every child.

global pins panel with three boards: ship gate, flathub submission actions, decisions about 0.2.7

enhanced pins. inject now, or auto-inject so the pin lands on every new page on the trail.

$

flatpak install flathub
app.shizumu.Shizumu

available on flathub

available on flathub. verified listing. one command to install across every distro.

and a long list of fixes — editor stability, packaging parity (rpm/deb/flatpak/aur), ci, focus handling, page padding, and a dozen quieter bugs along the way.

memory

where you remember

search everything you ever wrote. follow a trail across time. browse pages grouped by date.
