Article: The inspiration for the development came from "children's notebooks that couldn't be fully used."

開発のきっかけは「使い切れない子供ノート」

The inspiration for the development came from "children's notebooks that couldn't be fully used."

This time, I would like to talk about the story of a children's school notebook that became the inspiration for developing the SlideNote.

Thirty years ago, when I was in elementary school, each subject had its own specific type of notebook—such as a certain-sized notebook for Japanese language and specific line spacing for math—and we would use those notebooks. This is still the same for children today, with nothing having changed. When I watch my own children, I notice that sometimes, when the semester changes, the required notebooks change as well. And when they advance to the next grade, they often end up switching to a new notebook without even using more than half of the previous one.

Each time, I cut apart the leftover notebooks from the main body with a cutter and repurpose them into memo pads by clipping them together. Perhaps it's because I work in the paper industry, but I often feel that it's wasteful and not environmentally friendly.
