What is a Palimpsest?
A palimpsest is a manuscript page from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the page can be reused for another document. Traces of the original writing often remain.
This application is built on that idea: a space where ideas can be layered, overwritten, and rediscovered. It’s a tool for the entire creative process, from the first spark of an idea to the final polished manuscript, preserving the history of your creative journey.
