       Show HN: GYST - Digital organizer that replicates the feeling of a
       physical desk
        
       Hi HN! I've been working on a tool that merges file explorer,
       whiteboard, bookmarking, note-taking & simple graphic design into
       one lightweight interface.  The idea is to make all these tools
       feel like one fluid space instead of 5 separate tools. The hope is
       to replicate the feeling of a physical desk : where order and
       freedom coexist.  This 15-min video walks through the current alpha
       and the vision for the full product : https://youtu.be/AcWzuBBuiPM
       I'd love your feedback -- especially around the concept and UX. The
       alpha is online if you want to try it: https://gyst.fr  This is a
       solo project for now, inspired by the "second brain" / PKM movement
       and my own frustration with fragmented tools and outdated UX.

       | video tour and liked what I saw.

       | I built a prototype of something vaguely similar a few years ago
       | that replicated a desk with papers stacked in piles. No
       | searching, no sorting, no tagging--just typing on notes, dragging
       | them into stacks, and a paintbrush to draw on the deck. This lets
       | you leverage the brain's natural tendency to associate locations
       | with ideas, like a memory palace. Want that recipe from a few
       | weeks ago? You remember it was in a pile by a blue house you
       | drew.
       | 
       | I see a similar philosophy here, expanded with more features and
       | a larger scope. It's also great seeing a notes/organization
       | system that isn't the same stupid three panels, tags on the left,
       | etc.
       | 
       | Looking forward to trying it out when the site returns. Thanks
       | for sharing!

       | Just a note, I almost immediately closed your site after opening
       | because on my phone all I see when it first opens is a sign up
       | form. I did end up scrolling and seeing the content, but I'd
       | recommend dropping that form either off the front page or at
       | least below the description of what your product is.
