No Author writes sequential.
Usually you start with a bunch of fragments for one topic running around in
circles in your head. You need to get them out of there to make space for
additional thoughts.
Below you see a screenshot of my thoughts about future versions of this
software ;)
The purpose of this software is
-
write the thought-fragments out to notes as fast as possible while maintaining
the "findability" to get them back when you need them
-
support the ordering and reordering of those fragments in a second round. Here
you are preparing to express the interrelations of your topic.
Notiznetz helps by giving you a card-area to stick notes on. A Note has
-
a short title
-
a text-content (.txt, maybe later .ReST , see roadmap)
-
(later, see roadmap) an area to zoom in to get a new card-area where you can
put sub-notes.
To mark relations between notes you can use Links. A Link has
-
a starting-note
-
an ending-note
-
freetext-name which can be used to qualify the relation between startote and
endnote.
