Stempad

Stempad is a tool designed to make writing scientific notes faster and simpler. It operates entirely within the browser, providing a speedy and intuitive interface for users. As a text editor for those in STEM fields, Stempad offers text-to-keyboard notation for mathematical and scientific symbols. It enables the typing of plaintext notations into recognizable symbols, including various Greek letters, arithmetic operators, mathematical relations, and set operators. Additionally, it provides shortcuts for typing other symbols including integral expressions, vector arrow characters, and square root expressions, among others.Beyond mathematics, Stempad also accommodates annotations used in fields like chemistry. For instance, it facilitates the easy input of chemical notations by allowing users to simply type abbreviations for common molecular groups and atomic types, which are then converted into the respective chemical symbols. Similarly, it includes shortcuts for table and code editing – facilitating operations like copying and swapping rows or lines.Stempad also provides flexibility by accommodating a range of programming packages, from statistical visualization libraries (altair), astronomy (astropy) and molecular biology (biopython) libraries to managed signals implementation on top of asyncio (aiosignal). This makes it suitable for diverse scientific needs, from visual data exploration to complex computational analyses.The tool’s user-friendly nature, coupled with its wide array of functionality, makes it an essential tool for scientific work, assisting in the speedy and accurate recording of numerical, chemical, and computational notes.
