It's time for a proper tool to make notes.

Both pencil & paper and editing text on a computer are unreasonnibly effective. Doug combines both.

Vision:

• Build for laptops with input pens and touch screens.
• Freeform doodling / mindmapping is the best way to support creative thinking
• Don't throw away ideas, but extend or rewrite.
• Interlinking with hyperlinks and transclusion.
  • Embedding a page, rectangle or even a paragraph of text from a PDF, with preservation of the context where the embedding came from.

Tech PLAN:

• Create Page widget (for now don't care about scrolling/zooming)
• Draw grid on page Widget
• Implement modes
  • initial simple popup context menu to switch
  • update mode
  • send "leave-mode" and "enter-mode" events via GObject events
• Draw strokes
• Delete strokes
• Add gesture detection with meta button to switch between modes.
• Implement zooming & panning
• Persist a single page + invoke doug on a file name
• Make a view widget that takes a ViewConfig & a Page

TECH Later:

• improve quality of strokes by using catmulromspline to interpolate points
• decouple gathering events from drawing & deletion of strokes.
