🌈 Our Design Principles

1. Free: our core features will be free and always will be, including unlimited highlights, colors, notes, and infinite canvas.

2. Deadly-simple: our product must do one thing and do it well - capturing and recalling information.

3. Grow alongside the user's workflow: the more you use Readily, the more powerful the tool is. This will be in the form of shortcuts, templates, drawing libraries, and plugins.

4. Private: all the data is stored locally in your browser, everything is private, and it's 100% owned by you.

5. Blazing fast: the tool's speed directly affects how we think and work. So we designed Readily to be as fast as your mind can go. (as-you-type search, soon)

6. Globally Accessible: your data should be accessible across browsers and devices. (encrypted sync, soon)
