Super FR: Visual/Spatial Note Taking - Whiteboard - Mind Map - Concept Map

Here’s a consolidated list of features from all three posts. I have not spent time to remove possible redundancies.

From Mind Mapping Interface

  1. Create a board where and let the user manually select some notes to be there
  2. Let the user decide/fix the notes’ position
  3. Let the user save and restore a board
  4. Let user create new notes
  5. Let the user visually add links among notes (implemented via a YAML attribute)
  6. Option to edit the content of the notes without leaving the board

From Visual Management like Heptabase

  1. Lay out my notes as cards on a canvas
  2. Let me draw arrows between them
  3. Let me use the wikilinks to jump around
  4. If I click on a wikilink for a card that is not yet on the canvas, place it there.

Implement a Tangents-like note-creating mindmap

  1. A mindmap is generated based on a folder of notes or can be blank where the user manually adds nodes
  2. The notes are linked together in parent-child relationships as on a standard mindmap
  3. The mindmap lets you create new notes on the fly
  4. The mindmap can be saved as recoverable workspace of notes
  5. Dynamic remapping where nodes can be manually moved, removed or added (example: if a grandparent note has a parent note and multiple child notes, you can remove the parent note and the mindmap will redraw connections between grandparent and child)
  6. Dynamic connecting where connections can be manually moved, removed or added
  7. The ability to create directed acyclic graphs
