The note stream is the central part of Neo Nagare. It is a chronological list of everything you have captured, with the most recent notes at the bottom — much like a chat thread with yourself.
How it behaves
When you open the app, the stream scrolls to the bottom, showing your most recent notes. As you add new notes, they appear at the bottom and the stream scrolls down with them.
If you scroll up to look at older notes, the stream will stop auto-scrolling so you can read without being interrupted. A small button appears at the corner to jump back to the latest notes when you're ready.
As you scroll further back, older notes are loaded gradually so the app remains fast regardless of how many notes you have accumulated.
Why chronological?
Chronological order removes the need to decide where a note belongs. Everything lands in the stream in the order it was created, giving you a natural timeline of your thoughts.
When you need to find something, you can search by keyword or filter by hashtag. The stream itself doesn't need to be sorted or reorganized.
Notes are not edited
Neo Nagare encourages you to treat notes as immutable captures. If a thought evolves or you want to add context, use the follow-up feature to provide reflections on the original note. This keeps the original thought intact while allowing your thinking to develop over time.
Notes are archived, not deleted
Continuing with the idea of immutable captures, Neo Nagare does not have a delete function. Instead, you can archive notes to "scratch out" them from the main stream. Archived notes are still visible in the stream but are visually de-emphasized, and they will still appear in search results and hashtag filters.
This is analogous to how you might scratch out a note on paper instead of erasing it — the original capture is still there, but it's clear that it's no longer active.
