[NTLK] Introduction and Project Martha

[Joel M. Sciamma]

Sounds interesting. After trying to make my iPads do computery things for years, I gave up when it was clear that Apple were never going to allow it to be what it could be.

My primary use now is handwriting, diagramming and sketching in the superb Concepts app. iPad for thinking, Mac for doing.

Elevating that experience with some Newton intelligence could make for a useful advance.

> I?ve found most stylus + tablet setups frustrating because there?s too much friction before you can just capture something. Martha is my attempt to solve for that: instant scratchpad first, handwriting-first workflows, lightweight object recognition, and turning notes into tasks/events when asked.

> It?s very early, but it runs now on ViWoods tablets and is Android-based (and should work on Boox as well). The goal isn?t to clone Newton OS, but to borrow the parts that still feel smarter than most modern tablets, while adding modern capabilities like calendar, contacts, and file sync, plus other 21st-century conveniences we take for granted now.
