We are building something entirely different from the standard digital note-taking apps of today. Mind Dump is not a storage locker for dead information; it is a faithful digital translation of Niklas Luhmann's rigorous "Publication Machine." It is designed to help you cultivate a living, breathing Second Mind.
Currently, the system is stable, functioning beautifully, and ready to be put to the test. But because we are still in active production, we are looking for a select group of pioneers to help us refine it.
We are opening up a free, exclusive beta test for users who want to experience the magic of a true digital Zettelkasten.
Who We Are Looking For
We want to see how the system performs for different types of minds. Therefore, we are looking for two specific profiles:
The Zettelkasten Veterans
You already have a keen interest in the Zettelkasten method. Whether you currently manage a massive physical slip-box made of wood and paper, or you have been wrestling with digital apps trying to force them to replicate Luhmann's genius, we want you. We want to know how Mind Dump's rigorous Folgezettel branching and AI-assisted routing compares to your current workflow.
The Complete Beginners
You have never built a Zettelkasten before. You might have zero knowledge of the system, but you are tired of the "Collector's Fallacy"—hoarding highlights you never use. You want to learn how to actively develop your thoughts, experience "eufriction," and turn your reading into a prolific creative output.
What You Get (And What We Need)
If selected, you will receive a login to use the Mind Dump Zettelkasten completely free of charge.
In return, all we ask is for your time, your honest thoughts, and your collaboration. Because the system is still in active development, you might encounter the occasional hiccup. We want you to put the system through its paces and provide us with focused feedback in three specific categories:
- !
Errors
Did you hit a bug, a snag, or a broken link? Let us know so we can squash it.
- ✓
What Went Well
Did the AI evaluator successfully protect your ideas? Did the system help you experience a breakthrough "structured accident"? We want to know what features feel like magic.
- →
What Didn't Go So Well
Is a specific workflow confusing? Did you experience friction that wasn't "eufriction"? We need your honest critique to make the system better.
How to Join the Beta
To ensure that we can provide highly focused support and truly listen to the feedback of our users, we are intentionally keeping this test group very small.
If you are interested in dedicating your time to helping us shape the future of digital knowledge development, we would love to hear from you.
Complete the Online Contact Form
or email us directly at hello@zettelkasten.online.
Note: Because space is extremely limited to maintain quality control, we cannot accept everyone. Please don't be offended if you are not selected for this initial round—we will keep you on the waiting list for future openings!
