Hello, I am a developer of Scrapbox. The key functions are sync and link. I am doing scrapbox development with full remote work. I love that everyone can edit one note at the same time and link the notes together to express complex things. I do not use much chat or video chat, and I almost always discuss ideas in Scrapbox.

@shokai our team increasingly relies on Dropbox Paper. What's the value of implementing Scrapbox alongside or in place of Paper? https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@agrizzlyadams @shokai Scrapbox is basically a simple and powerful wiki, and all the page data are just plain texts with simple markups ([..]). Being a wiki, creating bidirectional links between pages is super-easy. Keeping the simplicity of wiki, we can enjoy various features provided by Paper and other modern data sharing services.

Awesome. I am adding my school's handbook. Super simple. One request, I wouldn't be mad at you if I was able to link to a web address.

@greaterthan1000 Hi Sam, you most certainly can do that. Paste or type any web address directly on the page and it will be active immediately. You can also add links inside brackets followed by a space and the text you would like the link to show. For example: [https://link.com Click here]. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@greaterthan1000 Web links can be either [https://link.com Click here] or [Click here https://link.com]. Writing order is fine with either left or right. Since I do not want to memorize difficult things such as "order", I made it possible to write syntax of scrapbox in reverse order.

@benfoden thanks. Can you upload word or pdf documents?

@greaterthan1000 Hi, unfortunately not at this time. We plan to add document attachments in the future. For now I recommend uploading docs to your google drive / dropbox and then you can paste the link in scrapbox.

Why didn't you use mark down instead of your own homegrown markup language? Makes import/export a pain.

@stoweboyd Hi! Our markup was chosen for maximum simplicity and flexibility. Regular markdown is a bit heavy for the kind of application we have in mind, and we also have added our own unique behaviors. If you want to import from a source using markdown, here is a nice github project that can do that for you: Encode Markdown to Scrapbox.io style text - https://github.com/pastak/md2sb And here is one that lets you export from scrapbox text to markdown: Scrapbox contents -> md - https://github.com/daiz713/sb2md Thanks for the comment!

Dead simple and flexible tool - I am loving it already. Feature request: do add Latex support for those of us who write equations along with code.

@rkasturi You can write equations. e.g. [$ \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}]

I've been really impressed with Scrapbox, it's by the same team that makes Gyazo (https://gyazo.com/) here in Japan and it features a really natural way to let you connect notes to each other. Basically any #hashtag you create automatically becomes a new note, which can in turn include text, images, etc. and of course link to even more notes. Basically, you can think of it as a Google Docs that lets you connect document to each other, rather than just having a big pile of unconnected notes.

Love the app, but that logo is the exact same “S” as the old Storehouse app. I thought they were releasing a new app, lol.

@iamjmw thanks Joseph! About the logo that's an unfortunate coincidence. At least we know now and can think about an alternative.

As the inventor of Scrapbox and Gyazo, I've been using them for 10 years. I'm using Scrapbox for all my activities like taking notes, sharing data, publishing blog articles, etc. Just put all the information in your brain on Scrapbox pages, and be amazed by how everything can be linked together without worrying about the data structure of tens of thousands of pages.
