Docs & sheets

Not everything is a picture. Some thinking is a paragraph; some is a column of numbers. Napkin has two flat surfaces alongside the canvas, reached from the same gallery: docs and sheets. Both are multiplayer, both are visible to zv1, and both create the moment you click — name them later.

Docs

A doc is a plain markdown document — a draft, a note, a working page. You type in blocks; a finished block renders rich (headings, lists, code, links) and the one you're editing shows its markdown source, so what you write is what's stored. There's no formatting toolbar to learn: the markdown is the format.

• Live together. Teammates on the same doc see each other's presence and each other's edits as they land.
• Share to read. A share link lets anyone read the doc without an account — the same link model as sketches, view-only for now.
• zv1 writes with you. Ask zv1 to draft, tighten, or continue a doc and it edits the same document you're looking at — you watch the text change.
• Undo/redo covers block edits, merges, and reorders (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z).

Sheets

A sheet is a small multi-tab spreadsheet — for the data that lives in your head and your inbox. Type values or formulas (=SUM(B2:B9)); the grid does selection, copy/paste, fill, insert and delete rows and columns, and per-column widths.

Every tab is a table you can query

The thing that makes Napkin sheets different: each tab is a SQL table. Open the query panel and run real SQL across your tabs — GROUP BY, JOIN between sheets, aggregates — and the results are live. Row 1 names the columns; formula cells contribute their computed values. Ask zv1 about your data and it reads the table definitions and answers with a query instead of eyeballing cells.

Charts

Turn any query — or a selected range — into a chart: bar, line, area, scatter, or pie, single or stacked. Charts re-draw whenever the data changes, so they never go stale. Arrange them on a resizable dashboard grid, and export any chart as a PNG to drop into a deck, a doc, or a message.

Bring data in

Import a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file and it lands as a sheet — one workbook tab per sheet tab. zv1 can also build a sheet for you and fill it in.

Where they live

Docs and sheets sit in the Napkin gallery next to your sketches and decks, each with its last-touched time. Archiving clears one from the gallery without deleting it. Everything belongs to the workspace — your teammates see the same gallery you do.
