This is great and something that I've wished existed. Thanks for making it! Right now, the tiles are linear. E.g. if tile A links to tiles B and C, clicking either B or C will open a new tile directly next to A (and only one of B or C is visible at a time). What do you think about making more of a tree layout where B and C both branch from A and can be viewed simultaneously?

I agree with this. The UI is already great, but a tree-like structure would be awesome.

Seconded (or thirded) -- a way to navigate tree conversations is desperately needed. Perhaps something like what Gingko [1] does.

This is very good. I can't put my finger on it, but it seems more important than a mere "gimmick." I noticed that if you click on a topic already explored, it won't open again. That's cool, I'd make it snap back to the pane where it's open.

Kudos! This is an interesting perspective on how we really need to put a little more effort into the UX of LLMs.

Great idea. I also see inspiration from Andy Matuschak's notes [0], of which I'm a bit fan [0] https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zB74H9CuWrosEuqve7jZyCo?stac...

Damn, is there some SAAS like notion or an Obsidian plugin to be able to take notes like this?

There's an Obsidian plug-in.

Love it! I like that the site is straight to action, but I think it could really benefit from a walkthrough. Here’s an idea! It would be great if we had an introduction to the site right in the prompt! to help understand its main purpose right from the start. It'll be great if the first thing you see is [Explain what "delve into" is] as a prompt suggestion. Next, it will reply with, "It’s for exploring topics deeply,…

My 2 cents here is that it’s less obvious that this would be a net positive, people fall into two camps on these type of getting started suggestions. Many will say this very guided walk through is an obvious useful feature, and many will say that it annoys them.

I’ve gathered a lot of feedback on things like this for a few different sites and apps from senior UX designers and PMs who contradict eachother on improvements and best practices all the time and from users. You’ll of course only hear from the people who want it rather then the ones who would be annoyed by it :)

Great project that seemed very easy to understand and straight forward to me, no further walk throughs needed ;)
