Rekonect Magnetic Journal

 

 

Personally I love this idea and have already backed the project. Being able to re-organize the journal as I write in it, add/remove pages, etc. is awesome. It's many of the benefits of a three-ring binder without the drawbacks.

That's a really clever idea.

That's a really clever idea.

Yes, the concept is really kinda neat. Although I'm not completely convinced that the magnets in the spine won't screw up my credit card strips or my cell phone if I put one of these notebooks in my purse or laptop bag -- no matter what they claim.

Thanks for posting the link. I wonder how FP friendly the paper is....

Agree. Not something I'd let anywhere near my wallet, leave near anything with a memory, including my head! Also not very ecofriendly: got to make magnets, put on the paper and how about recycling.

 

Will probably sell at least one to lots of people, but not two. By then the company will be a unicorn and the owners 3-commas.

[MrThoth]

Well, no point in speculating -- I'll ask the project creators directly about potential risk to credit cards (etc.) and see what they have to say.

great idea which I'd really like to use; but I don't like products that force me to rely on their continuous support, because I can't get necessary supplies elsewhere.

With that in mind I'm not so sure if this is a nice once-in-a-lifetime experience or really an idea that can carry on many years (which I would like: to write in a journal and take out the leaves for sorting somewhere else...)

They also mentioned a patent pending - 'magnetic paint' - did they not? Not too sure about that.

I saw this a while ago and just checked if someone talked about it in the forums. Looks really cool! Wonder if they are fountain pen friendly.
