Flocci Notes for Project Scratchpad & Idea Board
freeproject scratchpad appAI Composerealtime sync
Between 'idea' and 'ticket' there is a messy middle where thoughts are too raw for the project tracker. That middle is what Flocci Notes is for. Scope sketches, naming candidates, API shapes, open questions — each on its own colored card, rearranged by pin and label until the shape emerges. Then the survivors graduate: decisions to the wiki, work to Flocci Projects.
How it works
- One card per raw thought — never one giant document that hides them
- Color by confidence: coral = open question, amber = leaning, sage = decided
- Pin the current week's focus questions to the top
- Weekly sweep: sage cards get published to Flocci Library or turned into Projects tickets, dead ends get archived
- The board stays small and honest — it is a workbench, not a warehouse

Frequently asked questions
Why not sketch ideas directly in the project tracker?
Trackers punish half-formed thoughts — every entry demands a status, an owner, a column. A sticky board lets ideas stay cheap until they earn structure; Flocci Notes then hands the winners to Flocci Projects or Library under the same login.
How is this different from a whiteboard tool?
Whiteboards (like Flocci Infinity, the suite's infinite canvas) excel at spatial diagrams. Notes is for atomic text-first capture with checklists and labels — most teams use both, one login apart.
