So I want to finish of my long train of thoughts here with the great video from the gtoolkit maker - moldable developement . I like many perspectives he is offering but especially how he approaches user sovereignty. I think its absolutely necessary to broaden up the horizon of what a "programmer" or a "user" is. I think we need a much better more inclusive culture in regard to that:

Thanks for this! I'm only just discovering Zettlekasten techniques and wish it could permeate and organise all aspects of my life. I'd be curious if the community had a list of implementations somewhere? The implementations I've seen are very heavily text-based for someone who likes to sketch like myself.

Since the original concept came out of the text-academia context this is where most software currently available is focused on

Interesting, thanks Andreas - I'm expecting to see similar methods spread to other domains in the not too distant future 🤔

Ok I watched the gtoolkit video. This feels like an exploratory programming interface. Has anyone here actually used it?

I have been playing with it for a while, see https://github.com/khinsen/ipfs-pharo and https://github.com/activepapers/activepapers-pharo (though neither project is likely to be of interest to you unless you care about the application domains they address). There are lots of good ideas in there, and I also like its visual style. Be warned though that it says "alpha release" for a reason (but stability has improved enormously in recent months).

Which application domains do they address?

The first is an IPFS interface to Pharo, with a user interface layer using GToolkit that (for now) contains an explorer for data stored in IPFS and a reader/editor for Wikis stored in IPFS. The second is a proof-of-concept implementation of a next-generation computational notebook for use in computational science.
This recent blog post gives a good idea of what makes GToolkit different. It's written for people with some Pharo background, but I suppose most people here will get the gist even without that. https://blog.feenk.com/glamorous-toolkit-and-pharo-5aufgcequ38az2s0dj0t1nu0f/
