The approach works with any tool, including by hand. That is how the articles describe it.

How this website stays independent of the product

  • Articles explain a way of thinking, not a product. They contain no advertising and no calls to action for Picasi.
  • This website makes no statements about the prices, features or customers of Picasi.
  • Where an article mentions Picasi at all, it does so as one possible way to put an idea into practice, alongside others, including doing it by hand. The practical guide names no tool vendor, Picasi included.
  • An article links to picasi.com at most once. The footer links to Picasi GmbH as the publisher.

How articles are written

Articles are researched and drafted with machine support. The author reads and approves every article before it is published.

Every factual statement names its source, preferably the primary source. Where something is uncertain, the text says so.
