Stempad – Fast Online Scientific Writing
I'm building an online text-editor editor to write and save scientific documents fast. Here's a video of how it works: https://youtu.be/Hyk8CvCdEWE As an engineering student, I hated that handwriting was the only viable way to do fast or impromptu scientific writing. It would be the only way to take quick notes in class or in a lab, write an assignment, or create a presentation.

Stempad is an online text editor designed for writing and saving scientific documents quickly. Built for engineering students, researchers, and academics, it addresses the limitations of general-purpose tools like Word and Notion that lack scientific writing features. The editor allows users to take fast notes in class, write lab assignments, and create presentations with tools optimized for scientific content, offering a faster alternative to handwriting or expensive specialized software.

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
