Other Details

  • What's the idea behind Peregrine?
    • I'd suggest checking out Linus' original article on incremental note-taking; his project based on that idea, Inc, is what inspired me to build Peregrine. I wanted to explore how version control and append-only notes affect our thinking, and I built a tool to experiment with these ideas.
  • What's the stack?
    • Flutter and Dart. This is my favourite GUI stack for numerous reasons - I like the Dart language and Flutter is an excellent GUI framework for building cross-platform apps without sacrificing performance or user experience.
  • Why Peregrine?
    • Peregrine falcons are known for their speed - I wanted this app to allow rapid, iterative logging, and the name felt right!
