A disorganized pile of notes compiled and stored within a container.
SlipBox is a software program specifically designed to help users easily store and retrieve ideas worth remembering by creating an electronic slip-box. When users come up with an idea they want to remember, they simply jot it down on an electronic slip and input it into the box. SlipBox makes it easy to find relevant slips and discover relationships and links between different ideas.
This program offers the obvious advantages of an electronic solution over traditional pen and paper methods: faster and easier access, easy searchability, and reusability of stored knowledge. In particular, SlipBox's associative searches allow unexpected reuse of available information.
While there are larger programs that let users organize and store knowledge, they often require users to categorize ideas in a rigid format. This is where SlipBox stands out--it doesn't require hierarchical categorization and allows users to organize ideas in an organic, self-organizing structure.
SlipBox allows users to scribble down notes and some keywords describing the content on an electronic piece of paper, and then they can simply forget it. Over time, the program adds connections between the thoughts users find interesting and would like to remember. SlipBox does not manage literature, but it can interact with other programs that do.
Overall, SlipBox is a simple program that can be used over an extended period of weeks, months, years, or even decades. It makes associative and raw searches easy, allowing users to easily find and retrieve specific pieces of information, and manage creative processes. Associative searches function like following hyperlinks on the web, allowing users to discover new connections between different ideas. SlipBox is a valuable tool, ideal for anyone who wants to get their ideas down in a simple, accessible way without worrying about the restrictions of hierarchical categorizations.
