Deep Dives are your personal research and curation space. Think of them as digital notebooks for organizing ideas, discoveries, and inspiration.
The Problem We Solved
Bookmarks and scattered links don’t tell a story. Deep Dives let you curate, annotate, and share collections with context and personal insights.
