This is great! As a product manager the first thing I thought after seeing this was how awesome it could be for really lightweight lean product specs. I'd have a tab for for overview / timetable, validation, features, tech, and UX. If only you could embed wireframes somehow. What do the other PMs on PH use for this purpose?
@colemercer Thanks for commenting, Cole, great to hear that. It's exactly what I use Thought Plan for myself! :) The wireframes that you would like to embed, are those images or...?
@_helpmeranda Comments would be pretty cool, nice idea! If you want, you can post a feature request here and have others vote on your idea: http://thoughtplan.uservoice.com...
Thanks for your feedback, let me know if there's any more! :)
The idea of using Markdown for formatting your thoughts is pretty convenient, although I do believe this is not usable when creating a mobile app/website. I like the layout of a "thought", It's like creating chapters/subjects within a bigger subject.
@bramk Hey Bram, thanks so much for posting this here, you've made my day! :) Thought Plan currently hardly works on mobile because it's not optimized for touch yet. Hoping to have that sorted out soon though! :)
Hi everybody, I'm the developer of Thought Plan! I just got home and was wondering about the large amount of user activity until I was linked here. Thanks so much for posting this. If you have any questions, I'd love to answer them here! Thanks!!! :)

Love it! As a creative director, I'm seeing lots of potential uses in the context of client work. Would love to see image embed (for moodboarding) and Slack integration at some point in the near future.
Played with this app this morning and am really liking it. I look forward to watching it develop. I currently use some combination of Workflowy and Simplenote but I believe this could be a better approach and I'm way into markdown. I pay for Workflowy Pro, so this is definitely the type of app I would pay for when its ready.
To pull me away from other tools, I need a great Android app that syncs in the background (always has the latest notes) and works offline. I'm sure mobile is in the plan and I look forward to it :)
@yo Hey Troy, thanks for commenting! I use Notes on my iPhone/Mac for things people would usually use (sticky) notes for, like writing down my parking lot number, but I can't use it to collect my thoughts on a certain topic (e.g. a business idea) because it's not structured enough.
Evernote does have the concept of Notebooks, but it doesn't give me the same convenient at-a-glance structure that Thought Plan does and it always felt a bit bloated and slow to me. What do you think as (I assume) an Evernote user?
Have this problem all the time where I have a thought or idea about a project that I need to write down... I'll grab a pen wherever I am and scribble it on my hand, or use my phone to e-mail it to myself for later consumption.
I'd love to see a mobile app + also team sharing capability integrated into this.
