Hi I’m Pirijan, I’m the creator of Kinopio and I like hiking, running, boxing and swimming. I work in a room that’s being slowly taken over by plants

I’m Ben. I live in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. I’m a Kinopio enthusiast – since discovering the tool 2 months ago, I’ve been finding all sorts of uses for it. I’m a software developer, enjoy coffee, and pretty busy right now with 3 young kiddos.

hi! i’m sam! I have zero plants, zero kids and 23 kinopio spaces. huge fan of kinopio, it has had a very positive impact on the way I work, and I’m also inspired by it (and @pirijan). I can’t remember what it was like to work without it.

Guten Abend, my name is Olav and a work as a product owner for an app dev team in Bonn, Germany. For some time I have been toying around with tools to visualize our products, tasks and their different aspects like importance, urgency, and effort.
Also, as a side project, I am very interested in personal knowledge management tools and have even built my own which I use on a daily basis for journaling and keeping track of things.
I am very keen on trying Kinopio’s API to import some of these things and see how far I can take this.

Hi Olav, welcome! I checked out knowfox – I read the I want section and found myself nodding my head the whole way through 
I have always appreciated Dave Winer’s work. And I especially resonate with what you say about hierarchies being too strict and tags being too loose.
I am very keen on trying Kinopio’s API to import some of these things and see how far I can take this.
I am very excited to see what you do with the API. Yes, take it far!

Hi there,
I’m Naveen. I live in the UK. Great to be part of this community. Just recently stumbled upon Kinopio and I just love how untethered everything feels on the app. The visual elements are so much fun to interact with. Just subscribed to pro, great job by @pirijan so far.

Hi Naveen, nice to have you here! Welcome to the club
Hello! I’m Jazz. (It’s short for Jessica.)
I just discovered Kinopio, and am… very very happy. Because I’ve been doing visual thinking notes since around 2004.
I used index cards, stickies, and butcher paper to create sketchboards for design work:
But I have a wrist injury that has taken my ability to handwrite or draw at tiny scales without pain.
Some spaces I’ve created recently:
Getting Started With Companion Robots is a brain dump for a community of practice. We make cute robots to sit on shoulders or backpacks or hair clips.
Witch Lights Software Architecture, in which I am trying to find the right model for explaining the way the machine at the heart of my interactive art installation the Witch Lights operates.
Hello, I am very happy to meet you.

Welcome Jazz 
I saw your cool spaces in explore but I had no idea you have such a long, storied history with visual thinking notes – v cool!
(p.s. do you mind if I share this on my twitter?)

Welcome Jazz! Kinopio makes me very very happy too
I love that you have explored visual/spatial notes in analog form. Your flickr album is inspiring. I have always aspired to do stuff like that. I end up getting caught up in the tools rather than actually creating (e.g. I immediately noticed your Pilot G2s, moleskines, and pigment liner pens 
Please keep sharing your creations and ideas – again, welcome to the community!
