The Vinci Notebook is open: why we keep notes

Leonardo da Vinci left behind roughly seven thousand pages of notes. Sketches of flying machines, studies of how water moves, shopping lists, half-finished ideas — all side by side in the same notebooks. That is what struck us most: big ideas often start as small notes jotted in the margin.

At Vinci Studio we take notes like that all day. A change Google made to search, a new AI tool, a small detail we spotted on a client's site. Until now most of them stayed inside the team. The Vinci Notebook is where we share them with you.

What you'll find here

Unlike the long guides on our blog, this is a place for short, timely notes. They fall under four headings:

• AI: new models and tools, and what they are actually good for in day-to-day business.
• Software and design: developments worth noticing across web, mobile and interface design.
• Digital marketing and SEO: changes on Google, Meta and the other platforms your customers use.
• News: tech stories that also matter to business owners.

Every note tries to answer the same question: what does this mean for someone running a business, or writing code? We will always name our sources and add our own take rather than simply repeating the headline.

Join the conversation

Each note has a comment section. Write under your own name or stay anonymous — both are welcome. If you disagree, have experience to add, or want us to cover something next, tell us.
