Cross-ref Locke (Essay II.i.2) — "white paper" metaphor. Maybe note here is itself the parchment?

— What's inside
Three companions for the second-pass reader.
I.
The Margin
Highlight any passage on the left, and a linked note appears on the right. No tab-switching, no copy-paste. Your annotations live next to the words that sparked them — forever.
II.
The Tutor
A patient, well-read companion. Ask any question about what you're reading and get an answer grounded in the actual text, not in vapor. Every reply cites where it came from.
III.
The Index
Type 'what did the Stoics say about grief' and Dual Reader returns the exact passages you underlined six months ago — across every book and article in your library.
"The unread book is one thing.
The book read and forgotten is another,
and a far worse fate."
— From the Dual Reader manifesto
