Problem
Standard notebook paper isn’t designed for code, so indentation, structure, and revisions get messy fast. That makes planning and tracing programs on paper slow and error-prone.
Solution
The Codebook is a notebook page layout built specifically for writing code on paper. It keeps code, notes, diagrams, and trace tables organized in one clean workflow for any language.
Engineering highlights
- Human-centered constraints: supports fast handwriting, preserves indentation, reduces visual clutter, and keeps code readable during long problem-solving sessions.
- Information architecture: page system designed to separate concerns—code, notes, diagrams, and trace tables—so planning and debugging stay structured instead of spilling across margins.
- Language-agnostic layout: formatting supports any programming language by enforcing consistent alignment and providing predictable space for blocks, comments, and annotations.
- Traceability + revision workflow: built-in structure for line references, step-through tracing, and iterative refinement without rewriting entire sections.
- Print/production readiness: designed as a repeatable, scalable page template suitable for notebook manufacturing and classroom distribution.
- Commercialization execution: created sell sheet + page set visuals and positioned the product for licensing and retail/education channels.
