Digital representation of 3x5" notecards with dual-pane modal editing and searching.

Project Status

• Incomplete
• On-hold for the time being while I evaluate a commercial product (Workflowy) that may give me what I was looking for from this project.

Visual depiction:

• Split screen.
• Right hand side is a text editor similar to ipython with "cards". Used for stream-of-consciousness writing.
• Left hand side is a multi-document viewer. Automatically surfaces documents as it finds connections to the writing on the right hand side.

Ideas

• Can be entirely keyboard or mouse driven.
• Cards on the right hand side represent nodes in the graph
• Cards are separated by (either) ----------- or > 1 carriage return
• Left hand side documents can be edited on the right hand side by selecting them (clicking or selecting via keyboard)
• switches between right and left panes(?)
• Vim keybindings?

Initial Tech Decisions

• neo4j graph database
• python 3.6

MVP

• create a node w/ an id and textual data
• associate a node with other nodes manually
• edit associations on an existing node
