Getting Started

You can go from sign-up to your first note in under a minute. Here’s how InkReaders is organized and how to hit the ground running.

How InkReaders is structured

InkReaders follows a simple hierarchy:

Collections → Notebooks → Pages → Notes

• Collections are your top-level workspaces — one per broad area of your life or work.
• Notebooks live inside Collections and cover specific subjects or projects.
• Pages sit inside Notebooks and group related notes by topic.
• Notes are where your actual writing lives — drafts, ideas, meeting notes, research, whatever you need.

Setting up your first notebook

1. Create a Notebook — Give it a name that reflects the project or subject you’re working on.
2. Add a Page — Break your notebook into focused sections. For example, a research notebook might have pages for Literature, Ideas, and Draft Sections.
3. Start a Note — Open a page and start writing. Don’t worry about getting it perfect — that’s what the refinement stage is for.
4. Try a Template — If you’re not sure where to begin, pick a template. It gives your note a ready-made structure so you’re filling in ideas rather than staring at a blank page.

A tip for getting started

If an empty page feels daunting, start with a template. Even a basic structure — a heading, a few prompts — makes it much easier to get your first thoughts down.
