IRLpad is a digital notebook that mimics real ones—no delete, no infinite scroll, no formatting. Why? Because memory isn’t about perfection. It’s about space, struggle, and structure. Backed by science. Wrapped in paper.

@pete_vasilyev Thanks for the feedback, Pete. And, I appreciate you trying IRLpad. I'll be sure to include an enable/disable toggle for this in the next update.
📓 Digital-meets-analog notebook? The UX likely features:
- Pressure-sensitive stylus support ✍️
- Realistic paper texture rendering 🌀
- Instant cloud sync without disrupting flow ⚡☁️
Key challenge: Recreating the tactile satisfaction of physical writing.
IRLpad is a refreshing take on digital note-taking! By mimicking real notebooks with no delete options, infinite scroll, or formatting, it focuses on the true essence of memory—space, struggle, and structure. I’m excited to see how it blends science-backed principles with a simple, paper-like experience to make note-taking more authentic and effective!

Absolutely love the concept behind IRLpad! 📝 The focus on embracing imperfection and limiting features mirrors how our memory truly works—messy, structured, and sometimes challenging. Backed by science and wrapped in a familiar, comforting design, this is exactly the kind of digital tool we need in a world obsessed with endless editing and scrolling. Well done! 👏✨
IRLpad's concept of mimicking real notebooks is really intriguing! How does the restriction on not being able to delete or edit notes affect the way users engage with their notes over time? Does this lead to a deeper understanding or a sense of attachment to the content?

@evgenii_zaitsev1 Great question! Not being able to delete or edit makes people more intentional with what they write. It’s like a real notebook — a bit messy, super honest, and full of little breakthroughs. That sense of permanence really changes how you reflect and build on your thoughts.
