I just came across this design concept. It's an interesting take on the idea of notes, knowledge management, exploration, and, well, Memex. Especially interesting for me is the fact that it acknowledges the benefits of linear encoding of information in tools like Roam Research, yet rejects it as insufficient as it excludes "other mentalities." Another highlight is that it asks browsers to work within the information blocks, rather than in parallel to them. A nice example of composable tools over integrated apps.

It seems quite similar to Capstone from ink & switch lab https://www.inkandswitch.com/capstone-manuscript.html

Actually looks like it's called Muse now https://www.inkandswitch.com/muse-studio-for-ideas.html

It does. It mentions the project from Ink&Switch as inspiration.

How can I download Muse? Can’t seem to find it on the App Store. Love love things like this. Also had a thought yesterday that perhaps coding and even innovations like visual programming are held back by the keyboard mouse input paradigm. How different would code be written if it could be written with a pen? I think this point was brought up when I was reading why APL failed - no standard characters. Free form writing with a pen might make that be less of a headache.
@Chris Knott thanks for the links!

That’s pretty cool. Wonder it hasn’t been revisited and isn’t more mainstream

Does anyone have a Remarkable tablet? There is a fairly active dev community for it I think

Yes, Muse'll just email you an invite, I tried it last month. It's more just a zoomable "canvas tree" whereas I'd personally like to see more backlinky stuff as in the Semilattice demo (🤞 it gets built). Muse is still super cool and will probably be my goto once they polish the UI and implement handrwiting search (it's the only reason I can find anything in GoodNotes).
