Hybrid of chat and document for your programming notes

Beta version of new documentation tool released.

I have never been able to successfully use Notion or Evernote. Most of this is due to the difficulty in managing folders and files. For example, I sometimes end up at lunch time wondering if my daily notes should be separated by date or by topic. I would like to know how you all avoid these problems. It was difficult for me.

On the other hand, I find that I am very good at the flow of getting my thoughts out to chat tools like Slack. It often makes my work go much more smoothly. In Japanese, there is a reporting flow to manage, called "Minutes Reporting". What I do is practically the same as this, but in my case, I do it only to completely organize my mind.

However, most of the time, chat does not have the same high-level expression methods as markdown. For example, it lacks the functionality to leave code snippets or quotes.

So I came up with this hybrid of chat and documentation.
The idea came from my experience with ChatGPT, where you can use quite functional expressions while interacting with ChatGPT in a chat format. This was a great experience.

I also thought that with AI-based summary and search capabilities, perhaps the definition of information structures such as folders and files might be unnecessary.

We have not yet implemented AI support in this release, but perhaps that could make this tool more powerful. So I would like to solicit your ideas for this tool. We welcome your ideas in the following Github Discussions.
