Real World Demonstration — Freeform Chemistry Notes

[colbyn]

Hey, I'm kinda late to the party but I thought I would show off a project I made some time ago — its a native iOS / macOS note taking app but the core function that renders a series of outline points from a collection of sample points was itself based on the perfect freehand algorithm.

Specifically, I thought would mention a real world use of this work: my old chemistry notes.

Unfortunately I lost the model file and so I can't recompile these notes using the latest version of the system that includes some substantial improvements including dark mode support.

But it's a pretty cool proof of concept.

Everything is organized hierarchically via autogenerated table of contents for fast and efficient navigation.

Here is the root index page.

Here are some some suggested pages as an example:

• Overview
• Key Terms
• Week 14 Acids And Bases
• Week 7 - Chemical Reactions And Stoichiometry
• Week 6: The Language Of Chemistry
• Week 10: Lighting It Up With Electrons

All in all, I certainly learned a lot and I'm incredibly thankful to the author @steveruizok for developing this amazing library.

Also I'm making an effort to showcase my past work via a series of YouTube videos, you can see the associated video for this work over here: Intro. my note taking app & why this matters in the age of bots — it also showcases the latest version with various UI/UX and other technical improvements.

The project itself has evolved quite a bit, before I began the latest rewrite which itself is closed source, I thought I may as well open source the old version if anyone would like to checkout a real implementation to study. You can find it over here subscript-publishing/subscript.
