We’ve been hard at work on Playground for the Mind™, an entirely rebuilt version of Scrintal canvas. We’re grateful to thousands who have applied to test this new experience, and hundreds that contributed with their feedback. Building Playground for the Mind wouldn’t have been possible without our community’s support.

Finally, we’re excited to announce that we’re launching our new canvas experience, Playground for the Mind, in October!

Playground for the Mind brings together the freedom of infinite spaces, the power of networked note-taking, and simple sharing. Until now, we have had to choose between visual freedom, powerful text editing, and seamless collaboration. At Scrintal, we, on the other hand, dreamt of a tool that broke the boundaries of a modern text editor while keeping ease of use and collaboration at the center.

### What Playground for the Mind means for you
In October, our new canvas experience will be out for everyone. Users who join after our launch will be greeted with this new experience.

Our early supporters who joined before the October launch can still create boards in the old or new version. We’ll update our early supporters with different migration options to the new canvas experience!

We will also change our paid plans. The pricing changes will be announced in October. Anyone who purchased a Scrintal plan before the October launch will keep the early access benefit of locking in the price.

*Launching in October!*

### What’s coming in Playground for the Mind

We built Scrintal from the ground up for the Playground for the Mind launch. In doing so, we focused on the canvas’s speed, stability, and enhanced visuality.

1. **The canvas elements.** We broke free from the constraint of the docs. We thought of the whole canvas as an edgeless text editor. We built the canvas from scratch to redesign the building blocks and what one can place on it.
2. **The text editor.** Playground for the Mind editor supports brand-new editor functionality and real-time collaborative editing. This time, the editor is not limited to being used in the docs (details to come in October 👀).
3. **Navigating Scrintal.** We redesigned how one interacts with Scrintal. How Scrintal welcomes its users and what it means to navigate in Scrintal is re-thought.
4. **Search.** We are revamping the search experience. How to bring elements to boards, search with tags, and switch between boards will provide a new user experience. The search updates will be released following the launch.
5. **Sharing.** We are keeping our principles of being web-based with offline capabilities and fully collaborative. Users will be able to share their boards and docs with others easily.
6. **Speed & Reliability.** The Playground for the Mind architecture is built with full offline support for the web and desktop versions from the beginning. No matter where you are, you can create, edit, and search in Scrintal instantly.

### What’s next?

An important note is that we will not delay our launch version further. Instead, we’ll launch the new canvas experience and continue building together. As building software is a marathon, we know that our launch version can never be the final version of Scrintal. We have a long product roadmap, and we’ll openly share it during our launch.
