I know you’re a man of culture because you mentioned reading Mindstorms by Seymour Papert, Alan Kay, Bret Victor. You should have a lifetime license in pricing as well, like Procreate. I guess that’s when it’ll kick off and number of sales will cover the profit. Subscriptions turn me off.
I am a student from Germany and I am currently using Heptabase to do research and extract information for my bachelor thesis and to organise everything. Really an AMAZING product that Alan and Ethan have created! I'm really in love with Heptabase :D

Alan, thank you for demonstrating the functions from Heptabase 101. As a user for half a year, I found this video very useful, for you provide very clear samples step by step, specially how you organize the atomic pieces of knowledge in a format of mind map. By showing how you transform your reading notes, to the scattering of thoughts of cards, into a structualized modules. You help us visualize how Heptabase works. Please keep making videos like this, which is a great help for users to find out how to make this app handy. Thanks again.
Thanks, Alan. This is the best tool that visualizes what's happening in my mind. Heptabase is more than a product, it's pure magic!

Alan! This is going to help many users - both new and old. Even though I've been following along for 2+ years, I picked up some new ideas and approaches to using a Heptabase Whiteboard (I was taking notes along the way in my Heptabase app of course!) Keep up the great work and maybe throw in a cameo appearance now and again from your stellar development team!
I love these videos. Every time i go back and revisit them i learn something new, and I had several aha moments when watching this one. Please keep them coming!
Alan, I've been using Heptabase for almost a year and I learned a few tricks from this that will be very helpful as I plan out my research and book. Thanks for a great video!

問題是20年後這種二維的人機分離筆記模式是不會存在的,因為這始終不夠直覺和方便,因為技術的限制現在所有的筆記軟體都只是一個過渡期而已,因為筆記的最終目的,只是為了更快達到一個領域的mastery,但人腦目前算力在capacity, comprehension, recall, relation有所限制( 我把它稱為CCRR Metrics, 我認為這是一個比IQ更簡單明瞭且客觀衡量大腦強大程度的框架), 所以才需要筆記軟體來補足人腦還不足以應付快速增長的資訊, 可是在AI和未來人機結合的趨勢下,這四項能力都會得到前所未有的成長,以後應該是不會有所謂筆記軟體這個概念了,而是所謂的Mega Space

Thanks. It was a really inspiring video. Do you consider providing any discounts for the students?
Three important points. 1- Thank you for the video. It has had many benefits. 2- I write the biggest deficiency. Doing all these operations manually is now a waste of time. All these processes are now done with artificial intelligence. Not many people waste their time manually. Artificial intelligence needs to be integrated into the product urgently. Currently Taskade, Miro, Whimsal etc. Many tools such as create mind maps with artificial intelligence. It saves serious time. This is a big shortcoming for Heptabase. This should be the first thing. I have many notes. But I don't look for information in notes anymore. Artificial intelligence is already doing better. This situation needs to be resolved urgently. 3- Heptase mobile phone and iPad usage is very bad. Too bad. I understand you. However, phone use is 7 hours a day. People come across many notes but I cannot share them directly to Heptabase from my mobile phone. This is a very bad situation. Finally, I support heptabase. One of the top 5 products so far. I think you will enter the top 3 in a short time. Good luck.

1 - Thanks for the video, very helpfull. 2 - The product is INSANELY GOOD 3 - Consider a regional prices, not everyone works with US dolars and the exchange rate can be very expensive. I tried it for 7 days trial - Sadly, for now, it's too expensive and i will keep my old note taking.

Unrelated question. What screen recording software were you using? I'm on windows (11) and noticed you're using MacOS. I use 4k monitors and have a hard time sharing my screen with colleagues as everything is too small. I'm hoping what you were using is available for windows lol. Also, fantastic video!!

I cannot use ipad for the highlight in pdf. The worst thing is I even cannot move the pdf pages in ipad (that's mean I cannot read the pdf articles). I tried to open heptabase with ios app and a few browsers. But none of them can perform properly. The usage in ipad is so bad. Can you fix it afterwards?

With all of the other features for my own whiteboards with video and audio etc. Is SOO revolutionary for me! To not have to use multiple programs is also a HUGE advantage.

Thank you so much for the amazing tool! I have a question. When I copy the existing cards from one whiteboard to another, the linkage between cards is lost, and they become two separate cards in the card library. The linkage only works when I inset the existing card from a card library. Is there any solution to this? Thank you!
