Ideas

Ideas holds the things you might do, not the things you promised. An idea lands in Inbox first; you decide where it goes. Nothing sorts it for you.

What you see

• The head — a small line that says where you are (Ideas · Inbox, All projects · 35 ideas, PulsOne · 21 ideas — click it to go to another project), the title, the switch (Inbox N · All ideas, or in a project Path · Tree · List) and Come up with OnePuls — a fresh chat «Idea» (in a project — «Idea · PulsOne») that writes nothing for you; and Find an idea — by its words, its essence or its pieces, across every project. The page opens on Inbox; the address keeps the place.
• Inbox — a line to write an idea (Enter), the ideas waiting for you (newest first, where each came from and how old it is); hover a row: To project ▾ · New project · Keep as an idea · Not needed and Where does it go? — OnePuls offers its place (project · step · branch, and why). Next to Enter, Place it writes the idea and asks the same; Enter alone stays without AI. On the right: Where these ideas come from. While you type, Looks like «…» shows when the new idea reads like one you have: Merge keeps your words as a piece of that idea, Separate adds it. An idea OnePuls was not sure where to put shows its places: OnePuls: 03 Uploaded — There · Another place · Later.
• All ideas — a card per project: its path drawn small (a hollow dot is a step with no idea yet), or its branches of ideas when it has no path, and the facts under it (18 ideas · step 3 empty · ripe: 2 · 3 aside). Project from an idea turns an idea with no project into a project. Below: ideas with no project. On the right: Empty steps (with Come up — 3–5 ideas from OnePuls right in the card, each with Add, and Discuss in chat) and Ripe.
• A project — Path — the steps in order, each with its icon, number, how far its ideas have come (○ spark, ◐ steeping, ● ripe) and how many it holds — a number, never a verdict. Click a step to open its smaller steps and the ideas on them. An idea's branch and its step are two separate places: a branch is not tied to a step. Edit path brings the tools: step here, smaller step, rename, icon, up / down, delete. Goal plan ↗ opens the plan note of the project's goal. Under the steps: No step. A step with no idea has Come up (OnePuls's ideas for it, in place). A project with no path has Draft the path: OnePuls drafts the steps from what the project holds, lays its ideas on them, and adds from the stock (ideas with no project that fit) and how you decided before (decisions from your other projects) — Take the path · Fix it (rename or drop steps first) · No path — a tree (a draft of branches).
• A project — Tree — drawn sideways (as the mockup) or down (an org chart: one line from the project to a bar, down to each branch) — → sideways · ↓ down, remembered; every line runs from a card to a card. The project, its branches of ideas (themes you name — Design › Animation, Marketing — any depth) and the newest idea in each, +N for the rest; the project's ideas in no branch hang on the project itself. + Branch; click a branch for Branch inside · Rename · Delete · Come up; zoom; Open in Atlas (the project's board, or one drawn from the project). With no branches yet: Draft the branches.
• A project — List — All · Ripe · Steeping · Sparks · In work with counts, ideas grouped by where they are in life, each with its step number, branch and age; by step or newest first; the footer folds In work and Outcome · let go N.
• On the right of a project: Ripe (All opens the list on Ripe) and Aside — ideas taken off the path on purpose.
• An idea opens in a side panel over whatever is on screen: the title, where it is in one line (PulsOne › 06 Focus · materials · branch Code / Focus) with on the path / in the tree — the view opens there with the idea lit up — the stage, its step, its branch (+ New branch… right there) and its project, its Pieces (thoughts that kept coming back to it — from a focus session, a voice note, the chat or a merge — 3 this week) and Ripening: … when they add up (with Ripe — one tap, yours), On the path? (Check against the path: on the path — 05 Focus, because … with Put it there, or off the path — … with what would bring it on and Set aside), Near on the path, and What next: Into work · project, Open the desk, Let it steep (a week, a month). The ⋯ menu: discuss in chat, set aside / back on the path, let go.
• An idea's desk (/ideas/:id) — open it from a path chip, a card's title in All ideas, an Inbox row or the project's Ideas. The head: project · step, the title (edit in place), Back to path, Into work. On the side, the stage: Caught → Steeping → Ripe → Outcome (click to move), and the idea's Pieces. Then the blocks:
  • Essence — what the idea is, three pickers (its step, its branch, its project) and On the path?;
  • Debate — OnePuls asks one question at a time until it is clear (two for a simple idea, up to ten); each answer is marked held or unclear → to the Check (a tap makes it the check's riskiest part); then OnePuls's conclusion with Discuss in chat (the essence, the answers, the findings, the check and the pieces go along) and Ask one more;
  • Research — a web search on who already does it, what nobody does and whether people want it: a conclusion, then Already doing · What is missing · Demand, each finding with its link, and three next searches to Dig;
  • Check — Riskiest part · Cheap check · I drop it if, a due date and a counter (2 of 5, click the circles); Confirmed / Not confirmed with a one-line result. Decided checks stay listed under the next one. An idea with no project is asked to get one first;
  • Outcome — Into work (a task in the project, linked back: In work: task →), Put away (a week, a month, or until a date — back on its own), Let go (with a reason if you like; the toast has Undo).

How to use it

1. Write an idea in Inbox and press Enter. It costs nothing: no AI reads it.
2. Hover it and pick what happens:
   • To project — choose a project (projects only: a project's sub-projects are how the work is run, and stay in Projects);
   • New project — a project named after the idea, with the idea in it;
   • Keep as an idea — it stays an idea with no project, out of Inbox;
   • Not needed — let it go.
3. Changed your mind? The toast after each step has Undo.
4. Click an idea anywhere to open its panel; move it along the stage there (or on its desk): Caught → Steeping → Ripe → Outcome.
5. On a path: Edit path, then + Step (or hover between two steps → step here), ⋯ on a step for Rename · Icon · Smaller step · Up · Down · Delete. Drag an idea onto a step, or pick its step in the panel. + on a step (hover) writes an idea straight there. Deleting a step that holds ideas or smaller steps asks first; its ideas go to No step, its smaller steps become steps. A project put away «на потом» shows its path under the same veil as its own tab.
6. In the Tree: + Branch, or click a branch → Branch inside · Rename · Delete. Deleting a branch that holds something asks first; its ideas and its own branches move up one level.
