Project / Research notes
Paper to Prototype
A reading workflow for turning research papers into short implementation notes, diagrams, and testable questions.
Research notes / build logProblem
Reading a paper is different from understanding what to build. The gap between the two is where many notes disappear.
Solution
This workflow captures the paper claim, the mechanism, the trade-offs, and the smallest experiment that could challenge the idea.
