Show HN: Anql is offline workspace for notes, math, and structured work

https://github.com/anqlproject/anql
3•anqluser•47m ago
I’ve been building Anql, an open-source, offline desktop app for writing notes and working with the information inside them.

The idea is simple: instead of writing notes in one place and switching to a calculator, spreadsheet, or another tool to actually work with them, Anql tries to keep those operations inside the same document.

For example, while taking physics notes, you can write an explanation, insert a math block, perform calculations, and keep the result alongside the original notes.

I’m particularly interested in whether this workflow is actually useful or whether people simply prefer the flexibility of paper + specialized tools.

Anql is still early, and I’m not trying to claim that I’ve solved note-taking. I’m looking for honest feedback on the underlying idea and where it falls short.

it's like soulver?

Yeah, there’s definitely some overlap. Anql is more notes-first: the idea is to write, calculate, and organize in the same document.
