An infinite wall of smart paper.

Notes tile edge to edge, colour-tinted, arranged by hand. Open one, pair two, and close the tab knowing they’re just .md files sitting in your own folder.

On rereading

The second pass is where the book actually happens. The first time through I’m only finding out what it says.

Bread, third attempt

Hydration too high again — dough slack, oven spring flat. Try 72% and a longer cold proof.

Project — shed

Footings before the frost. Ask about the cedar offcuts.

Quote — Dillard

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

Meeting, Tuesday

They want the migration scoped before the quarter turns. Send the estimate Friday.

Walking notes

Half-thoughts from the river path. Most of these go nowhere, and that is the point.

Reading list

Berger, Ways of Seeing. Tufte on quantity. The Solnit essay someone mentioned.

Things I am not doing yet but do not want to lose.

Field notes

Writers want structure they can rearrange without feeling like they are managing a database.

Arrange them by hand

Notes tile edge to edge with no gutters. Drag a card by its top strip and drop it where it belongs. Position carries meaning: the thing you’re working on sits where you left it, not wherever “last modified” pushed it.

One note, or two

Open a note full-screen when you need the room. Pair it with a second when you’re writing from a source. Everything else stays exactly where it was, waiting.

A room for unfinished ideas

The most useful writing spaces do not force ideas into a hierarchy too early. They let fragments remain adjacent: a plan beside a question, a quotation beside a decision.

Field notes

Observed in interviews: writers want structure they can rearrange without feeling like they are managing a database. The page should feel composed, not configured.

They’re only files

Every note is a .md file in the folder you picked. Open them in anything. Back them up however you already back things up. There’s no export button because there’s nothing to export from.

Palladium open on a desktop: a narrow rail of workspaces on the left, one note expanded for writing, and two more notes tiled beside it. — One note open, the rest where you left them.

Nothing leaves your machine.

No account to make. No server to trust. No sync, no telemetry, no “we’ve updated our terms”. Palladium runs in your browser and writes to your disk — if this page disappeared tomorrow, your notes would be exactly where you left them.

What it needs

Chrome or Edge, on a desktop. They’re the browsers that can open a folder on your computer.
A folder. Any folder — empty, or one that already has markdown in it.
