Minimal | Notes - Showcase Project

Welcome to Minimal. There are hundreds of notes apps, yet few resemble the experience of a real notebook. They’re more like desks, file cabinets, and big binders that no one in their right mind would want to carry around. They’re certainly a far cry from the beauty of a blank page. Minimal | Notes exists to deliver on the promise of human-centered design, modern technology, and spaciousness. The experience for the notetaker is intended to be simple yet powerful – just like how a notebook feels.

SUBTRACTIVE DESIGN

Minimal’s best features are subtractive. For example...

• The Note Lifetime ensures old, burdensome notes disappear at just the right time, freeing space for something new.

• Markdown-style formatting eliminates the clunkiness of complex formatting menus.

• Minimal is designed so that only one element is ever in focus.

As a culture, we aren’t very conscious or deliberate around the “letting go” experience. We want to change that – core to Minimal’s premise is the idea that letting things go and inviting spaciousness into our lives is worth it.\n\nSwipe to keep reading
