When I was born, I couldn't breathe, and that is exactly why I made this app.
My memory was destroyed by an accident at birth, and I spent years apologizing to many people and trying to explain why I couldn't remember things. There are some things people can't see, so they dismiss it as excuse.
And they were right to do so, because I could've written it down or done something to prevent myself from forgetting the important things. And that's exactly why PendragonX.com was created.
I wanted something that helped me remember everything and that led me to finding Evernote, which I absolutely fell in love with, until Bending Spoons bought them and extinguished the spark of what Evernote seemed to originally be for me.
So I searched for a better system, and stumbled upon the zettelkasten system by Niklaus Luhmann, and I knew this was special immediately. What made this system so genius was the ability to take ideas that seemed to not connect at all and make them into a living system of knowledge, one that could find the gaps in what you know-you-know-, what you know-you-don't-know, what you don't-know-you-know, and what you don't-know-you-don't-know.
I know that sounds like a mouthful, but let me explain. People know some things without even thinking, but few people know about their gaps in knowledge. PendragonX takes the zettelkasten method and intentionally shows you what you know and transforms it into how to know what you don't, then how to apply that to action.
That's where we come full circle back to me to explain more about myself. I filled the gaps with this app.
I no longer had excuses, I was able to be present for those who counted on me. I could finally turn those thoughts to actions, and stop removing myself from fault.
So all the good and bad about this app is 100% my fault, and that's a wonderful thing.
