ThoughtForm started out as a writing tool.
I'm the type of person who struggles to get my ideas out onto a blank page. I know what I want to write about, I know what I want to say, I've built 99% of the argument in my head. But I stare at the computer screen and nothing comes out. I don't seem to have this problem talking about my ideas, so why is writing about them so hard?
I think it's because feedback is missing.
When I'm talking to someone, I start with a couple of sentences. I watch their eyes, their face. I can see if they understand what I mean. They can ask questions, or I can check in with them to gauge their understanding. Critically, I'm learning as I speak. Questions can challenge my ideas, force me to reconsider or double down. I gain perspective, gain clarity, gain confidence.
None of that happens on the page. Not right away, at least.
