Design Soft / Independent software

Useful software.Less complexity.

I'm back building software. Design Soft is about solving small, stubborn problems well.

Different tools. A common point of view.

The private beta already includes recording, transcription, summaries and search.

A PDF should be something you can simply use.

Make the useful part simple.

Begin with the problem.

Understand what someone actually needs to do before choosing tools, frameworks or fashionable features.

Keep people in control.

Work locally where it makes sense, avoid compulsory cloud processing and give people ownership of their own files and recordings.

Pay attention to the details.

Good tools depend on what happens after the first demonstration: saving, finding, reopening and trusting the result.
