A Radical Rejection of Proprietary Formats

A Radical Rejection of Proprietary Formats

A radical rejection of proprietary formats frees you for the future.

Be a gardener, not an architect.
Plant ideas, let them grow.


Proprietary formats are digital concrete.

They lock your thoughts into someone else’s blueprint —
before you even know what you’re trying to create.


Plain text is fertile ground.

It grows where it needs to.
You can always transform it — Markdown to PDF, HTML, anything.


Your creativity shouldn’t be trapped by someone else’s blueprint.

Design systems that respect your future self.
Portable. Open. Transformable.


Sometimes the smartest technical decision is the simplest one.

Plain text. Simple tools. Future-proof freedom.
