My first "tool for thought" was opening excel and treating it as a whiteboard – I could just use the arrow keys to get to new locations – I'd have some pages with extra wide cells, some with extra narrow – still the best diary I've ever had
Knotend already has great feel – the simple menus and default font seem just right – example videos are great – the undo is pretty killer – overall 🤩

08/04/2022, 12:24 AMThe specific example you posted also works, but the layout is going to be quite different. Knotend uses a left-to-right autolayout algorithm so it own't end up looking like your example.

08/04/2022, 7:49 AMFantastic! I’ll definitely give it a try.
Flowcharts are another occasional hobby of mine 🙂 Usually I use graphviz

08/18/2022, 10:02 PMMaybe I’ll try that. Im thinking roughly the same, but maybe having one graph per operation. With a text description for each as well. I really appreciate your suggestion and the time you put into it.
