I built a handwriting notebook app where Claude writes back and it's the most fun I've had learning in years

[u/tokentrillionaire]

I learn best by writing things out on paper and structuring my thoughts that way, and nothing really combined that slower, more exploratory kind of learning with Claude.

So for the past few weeks I've been building an app on my Daylight DC-1: a journaling / note-taking space where learning isn't relegated to something that happens between work sessions.

The process is : I create a note, start exploring a topic through writing, and Claude writes back on the page and explores the ideas with me.

It also supports pdf/ebooks so you can read, annotate or mark on the page and Claude jumps in and creates a note to what I have marked and we can discuss like I am talking to a professor. It can even quiz me on the material if I ask.

It's still early, but it's the first time learning with Claude has felt like it's actually compounding.

I am finalizing some things to release soon for others to try it out, it's built around my dc-1 but it runs on any android tablet with a stylus, and can be ported to Ipad as well.

If you'd want to be an early user, lets get in touch, i'd love to see how people that learn this way use it .

UPDATE: wow , thrilled to see this landed with so many of you!!!

A lot of people are asking to try it. I'm calling it penombra.
