It Started With a Small Problem

This project started with a very simple but persistent problem.

I read a lot of things online — articles, documentation, essays, random links. At the same time, I take notes. Sometimes digitally, sometimes in a physical notebook or agenda.

Over time, I realized something was constantly breaking:

I could see my notes, but I often couldn't remember where I read the thing I was taking notes about.

Bookmarks Weren't the Answer

I tried bookmarking everything.

The result:

• Too many bookmarks
• No context
• No connection to my notes

I also tried note-taking apps.

The result:

• Notes and sources lived in different places
• Copy-pasting links everywhere
• Still hard to go back later and find the original source

What I needed wasn't another bookmark manager or another note app.

I needed a simple reference.

The Idea of a Reference Code

Instead of trying to keep links and notes together digitally, I flipped the problem.

What if every link had a short reference code?

Something:

• Short
• Easy to write by hand
• Easy to remember
• Easy to type later

Like a page number.

Like a footnote.

Like an index.

So when I write a note, I just write the code next to it.

Later, I enter the code and go straight back to the source.

Why Codes Instead of QR or IDs?

QR codes are great — but not for notebooks.

Long IDs work — but not for humans.

This project uses:

• Numbers
• Letters
• Or both

Because they:

• Fit naturally into handwritten notes
• Don't break your flow while reading or writing
• Don't require any extra tools

Why There Is No Account System

This is intentional.

This tool is not about identity, ownership, or personalization.

It's about bridging memory.

You come in.

You generate a reference.

You write it down.

You leave.

That's it.

No profiles.

No dashboards.

No complexity.

A Bridge Between Physical and Digital

This site exists to connect two worlds:

• The physical world of notebooks, agendas, margins, and highlights
• The digital world of links, articles, and endless tabs

It doesn't try to replace either.

It simply connects them.

Small Tool, Clear Purpose

This project is intentionally minimal.

It does one thing:

Turn links into human-friendly references.

And it does it quietly, without getting in your way.

That's the whole story.
