Nice, thanks.

I like the preview of the individual articles, it would be good if something similar happened when clicking on a tag node. For my taste that would be just a straightforward list of articles tagged in that way but I can imagine there might be other ways.

As a sort of digital "happening," it's...fun? Interesting? "Neat?" As something I will ever reference, it's basically useless. Which, I feel bad saying, because that suggests that I'm somehow considered in any way in this graph. But, the reason I mention it is because this and the rest of the "here's all my xyz knowledge/notes laid out for you to peruse" graphs and digital gardens are just bad ways of engaging with s…

I’ve always felt like the graph view was useful to me, as the creator, but anyone consuming a zettel / knowledge base / digital garden / whatever people are calling it these days - you need a more accessible index formatted specifically for discovery before they are useful.

I think the most useful data visualization is... a timeline. Why? Because life is also a timeline. There can be other organization and visualisations based on that but i think that should be the central way to visualize data.

How does one use this? How is it useful?

One looks in awe at all the nodes and makes a mental note one should also spent more time reading books instead of watching TV or phone mindlessly. After, one closes again because these graphs are not easy to travel in any meaningful way. Especially on one's phone, where likely opened.

That having said. Thanks author for taking the time and trying.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. You have a graph of things, but no embedded knowledge. Why are things in the graph, what is the value of the connection between any 2 nodes? There's no annotative trail here at all.

I tried the search, and found none of the following terms:

markup, annotation, micrometer, logarithm, memex, forth, lisp, thread, lathe, precision

I see "good blogs" and there's no hint as to why they are good, etc.
