Slots: It's like freemind converted to twitter :)

Pardon the cheeky title.


The idea is to have an app that will allow you to take a piece of text, and define "slots" in it. Essentially something like the "Its like x for y" sentence above. It then stores the template sentence, names for each slot, and the values. Once these are stored, Slots then allows for them to be queried using the template sentences. My previous idea of the app to remember where things were could then be just an application of slots.

Further development of the idea:
  • It need not have any specific interface; it should embed itself into other apps or work on clipboard text.Input is therefore any text. This means that it could be an android app, or browser extension and still work the same.
  • Storage can be local our cloud.
  • Once a match is made, action can be taken in any/many ways to actually do something
