The brief

Fieldnotes started as a sketchbook app for researchers who scribble in the margins of everything they read.

What we made

I designed a two-lane editor: the page in the middle, the margin on the side. Margin notes can be dragged into the page, tagged, or turned into tasks without breaking the flow of reading.

The outcome

The beta grew to 40,000 people through word of mouth, and the margin became the most used feature within the first week.
