The Problem with Folders
Every note-taking app starts simple. Then comes the organization problem.
You create a folder called "Work". Then "Work/Projects". Then "Work/Projects/2024". Before you know it, you're spending more time organizing than writing.
Euclase takes a different approach: no folders, no tags, no hierarchy.
The Network Model
Instead of organizing notes into trees, Euclase treats notes as a network of connected ideas.
Traditional (Tree):
Work/
└── Projects/
└── Alpha/
└── Meeting Notes.md
Euclase (Network):
[Meeting Notes] ←→ [Project Alpha] ←→ [Q4 Goals]
How It Works
- Tabs - Open multiple notes simultaneously, switch instantly
- Search (⌘K) - Find any note in milliseconds
- Sync Blocks (coming soon) - Reference content from other notes
The Benefits
- Zero cognitive overhead - No "where should I put this?"
- Natural connections - Notes link to each other, not to folders
- Faster access - Search is always faster than navigation
Inspiration
This philosophy is inspired by:
- Zettelkasten - The slip-box method
- Roam Research - Bidirectional linking
- How our brains actually work - Associative, not hierarchical
Conclusion
Folders are a solution to a problem that search has already solved. In 2025, there's no reason to organize notes manually.
Write freely. Search instantly. Let connections emerge naturally.
