At its core, Heynote is a large, persistent text buffer divided into blocks. Creating a new block is as easy as pressing Ctrl-Enter, and pressing Ctrl-A within a block selects the content of just that block.
Heynote is a dedicated scratchpad for developers. It functions as a large persistent text buffer where you can write down anything you like. Works great for that Slack message you don't want to accidentally send, a JSON response from an API you're working with, notes from a meeting, your daily to-do list, etc.
