Reminds me vaguely about another piece of open source software that I tried a few years ago; the Leo Editor.

An Outliner, Editor, IDE and PIM written in Python. Cross-platform too.

https://leoeditor.com/ the homepage of the program, with screenshots.

There's a Wikipedia article about it too even.

Leo means Leonine Editor with Outlines.

This is the most original app among note-taking apps, very different from all the other. I suggest more people taking a look, perhaps this one is what you are going to enjoy.

Looks very neat, agreed.

Re: originality though, this is extremely close to a visual representation of org-mode.

But have you ever seen such a representation? I believe I've seen no app implementing this kind of view for anything.

I like the part where you can do calculations like in classic spread sheet apps, but visualize what your are doing, instead of hiding it behind formula fields. (see this screenshot: http://strlen.com/treesheets/docs/images/screenshots/screens...)

But functionality and especially usability of this application is quite limited. It feels more like a proof of concept, than an application for daily use.

I've used this a little bit at work (as as software engineer), and I've at times found it really helpful. I think it depends on how you work through problems/information. It's also depended on what exactly I was working on to whether it was useful.

A modern, extensible version of this would be amazing.

Like org-mode and MS Access had a baby, I thought.

But it really does look amazing.
