    Zeminary is in Alpha until September 7th ... Alot of people asked for usecases. I'll make example documents in the future. Some off the top of my head: (1) translating & comparing …

    (I'm in a kind of rush and your comment really inspired me, so the organization in this reply is pretty bad.) Well, there's nothing this or Treesheets does that nothing else (in MS…

    Finished testing it. The markdown module works well as long as you don't use the fulleditor and the floateditor. But this creates an inconsistent user experience. I've decided to l…

    I'll have to create a diff shortcut scheme for Apple users.

    Besides what's already been brought up, what other problems do you think there are?

    Zeminary was heading down that direction. But then I realized it might be better to maintain separate apps. For starters, Matrix (Classic) is only 2000 lines of code right now. Thi…

    Thanks. A video would take a really long time. I'll make one when I'm done fixing everything. One thing you could try right now is making a 10x10 grid, then clearing the borders of…

    Sorry. Cell would be better. Thanks for catching that. Straight from Excel.

    Are you using it on mobile? It's meant to be used on desktop.

    I'll definitely make a comparison video or post. COPYPASTE: A video would take a really long time. I'll make one when I'm done fixing everything. One thing you could try right now …

    It's just an analogy of music. Music is a succession of sounds. Ideamusic is a succession of ideas. Here's the guiding philosophy of Zeminary if you don't have a Twitter. https://p…

    It's a bit "out there" as a guiding philosophy for a tech product. Here are the images. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E-GECsGXoAEU3l6?format=png&name=... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/…

    Thanks! Glad to finally have someone have a use for this. Can you tell me more about your usecases?

    Off the top of your head, what might be a better shortcut scheme for Zeminary?

    Fun was a big part of it. If you use the hotkeys, it feels like a game with everything snapping about.

    Scrivener was my first writing app that wasn't a part of MS Office. I also recommend it. Tangentially, for anyone wondering — Zeminary isn't meant to replace other PKM and writing …

    Thanks alot tornadofart. It's Quill WYISWG. Quill has markdown modules. I'll go test them and then maybe add them in later. https://cloverhearts.github.io/quilljs-markdown/

    Thanks for driving the point home. I'll add tutorial text to the grids you see right now. I did half-ass the launch. I didn't expect it to actually be on the landing page of hacker…

    Well, it's still linear, but with more dimensions. It thinks of writing as a progression of chords rather than as a progression of arpeggiations. EDIT: Actually, no you're right. I…

    I'll add in drag to move points. What's the problem with drag to resize? I'll add tooltips as someone else suggested earlier. I'll add hover options to make it easier to add new ro…

    Here's my guiding philosophy (on Twitter). Zeminary to me is supposed to be an Ideamusicsheet. I didn't want to call it that in my post cause that just ... sounds a bit kooky. http…

    That's exactly what led me to make Zeminary. I kept running into problems with decomposing my thoughts in a way that didn't interfere with my main line of thought. Or with trying t…
