The ProtoText Cards look like paper sticky notes. They are also compact, colored, and easy to move. Color plays the roles you define.
Otherwise, the workflow with cards in the app is similar to editing a typical digital text document, like in Microsoft Word. Where to start a new paragraph, you don't need any special interface. You simply press Enter and continue typing. Where there is unlimited virtual workspace. You create as many pages as you need.
The ProtoText interface is a non-standard combination of these two practices.
This combination works well to free the mind, find order in data, prioritize certain elements, see the big picture, use the result in a desired intelligent form: notes, knowledge networks (like zettelkasten), flexible presentations, personal portfolios, multilingual guides, educational videos, audiobooks.
You have the opportunity, to connect and use any local or remote, paid or free, digital services to the app. This can be generation or processing of text, images, audio, video, tasks of computer vision, speech recognition, interaction with web sites.
After all, you can present the cards in full-screen presentation mode and render the result as an mp4 video.

Non-standard way of thinking. All the work is built on cards, this is an interesting technical solution.
