The idea behind Scratchpad is simple: I often create projects in my Downloads folder when I’m testing an idea or starting something small. After a while, those projects pile up and I have to manually figure out what I still need and what I can delete.
Scratchpad is meant to make that process easier by giving these temporary projects their own workspace and eventually helping manage their lifecycle.
For the first step, I set up the project in Go and implemented the first command. This gives me the basic foundation to start building the rest of the tool around.
It’s still very early, but the initial structure is now in place.
