About RAWV
A place for the ideas that stay with you.
RAWV began with a simple question: what if the ideas we take from reading were easier to keep, revisit and eventually share?
The first notes about the project were written years ago. Since then, the idea has grown into something more personal: a space to record not only what we learn, but the connections and questions that make each reading journey our own.
What is RAWV?
The same book can mean something different to each of us. A sentence might bring back a memory. An idea might raise a question. Two thoughts might connect in a way we didn’t expect.
RAWV gives you a place to keep those moments. Add a book, save the keywords and notes that matter to you, and explore how your ideas connect across your reading.
In Explore, your keywords come together in a mind-map sphere.
How it works
When you want a playful break, try Book Mining. Guide a small worm-like creature through your keywords, creating a path between ideas in an order that makes sense to you. Each journey is shaped by your own experiences. It is something like a fingerprint of your thinking.
There are two ways to build your journey in Book Mining:
Linear: Connect keywords one after another, in the order that makes sense to you.
Layered: Choose five keywords to sum up the book. Then, for each pair of words next to one another, choose three more keywords to explain how they connect. You build a big picture, with more detail underneath.
Save your journey and come back to continue it or look over the connections you have already made. With Retrieval, you can follow connected keywords to rediscover matching books in your saved library.
Why we’re building it
We believe curiosity and creativity need room to grow. RAWV is an invitation to slow down, think in your own words, ask questions and keep a record of the ideas you want to return to.
Our hope is to make a meaningful version of RAWV freely accessible to people from different backgrounds, and eventually build a community that values human curiosity and the many ways we see the world.
In the future, readers may be able to choose whether to share journeys and discover connections with others. Community sharing is still a future plan.
Where we are now
RAWV is currently in development and available to a small group of pilot users. Their feedback is helping us refine the experience and address reliability and security before a wider launch.
