Intelligencia: Reading and sharing discoveries.

Between 2011 and 2013, we built Intelligencia, a way to highlight webpages, leave notes, and keep those annotations organized across devices.

The fun part was following other people’s discoveries. We called it “shadowing other agents.” You could see which passages they highlighted and what they wrote about them.

  • The Intelligencia logo: overlapping colored shapes above the name and “the intelligence gathering community.”
  • Intelligencia’s reading view, showing an article about Yvon Chouinard with passages highlighted.
  • A dark Intelligencia interface with a highlighted passage and a list of related articles.
  • An open book with highlighted passages and handwritten notes filling the margins.
    Inspiration.
  • An Intelligencia mobile screen with highlighted text, an annotation, and the keyboard open.
    Notes.
  • An iPad mockup displaying a feed of shared reading notes.
    I still think our iPad interface was the best reading experience anywhere.

We stopped working on Intelligencia to focus on Bitmark.
