Writam

Everything Writam does

A deeper index than the product page. Items that are not yet confirmed are marked, not quietly included.

The canvas

The surface, and what placing something on it means.

Free placement

Put anything anywhere. Position is assigned by you and never adjusted by the app.

Persistent position

What you place stays exactly where you left it, across sessions.

Emergent clusters

Groups form because you dragged things together, rather than because you made a container first.

Optional naming

Name a cluster once it is obviously one, or leave it unnamed. An unnamed group is a legitimate state.

Moving around

Overview and detail as one document at two distances.

Pan

Drag the surface directly with a finger or a pencil.

Zoom

Pinch out to read the arrangement instead of the text; pinch in to get back to the words.

Direct manipulation

Built around a large touch screen, which is why the canvas reads as a surface rather than a document.

Still being confirmed

These are the questions visitors ask first, and they cannot be answered accurately yet.
