WRITE LESS, MEAN MORE

Threehand is a fast note-taking code. Instead of memorizing thousands of shortcuts, you only learn 9 basic symbols. Put 1, 2, or 3 symbols together to make single unique words, or connect them with dashes to make bigger ideas!

TL;DR

Learn 9 symbols. Line them up (1st = Category, 2nd = Modifier, 3rd = Scale) to calculate every single word.

#% Facets

The 3rd symbol, calculated: instead of picking the 648 three-symbol words from a list, each one is built live from its base pair plus one of 9 fixed facets — the same 9 facets, applied the same way, to every base.

Pick a category, a modifier, and a facet to calculate the word.
