Script

...is meant to mimic the thought process.

My very own custom mix of external brain, task management, calendar, project management and note taking app.

Vision

To have a good external brain app. One that can represent the complex structure of thoughts and their relations, that is quick and reliable to use in a hurry and that does not create too much of passive to be later organized.

A place I can store all information that comes up through the day, from a grossery list to life goals and projects. So, by letting the computer remind me of all the things he can, I can free up some neurons for creativity (or so I hope).

Core ideas, key features & premises

1. Unrestricted graph
   1. No limit for the number of connectins of a node (thought) can have;
   2. No implicit (nor explicit) direction for the graph.
      i.e. no concept of "parent" and "child" node, allowing complex and even cyclic structures;
2. Data ownership & accessibility from outside the app. Text-based (markdown + frontmatter) storage on local filesystem.
   You data is yours, no strict dependency on the app to use it, as it's meant to be simply a GUI tool for the ease of use;
3. Plugin-like extensibility.
   All behavior that could be implemented as an extension, should be.

And talking about plugins...

Core extensions

2. GIT as a versioning tool.
   I'm a developer, and it's all text anyway...
   Really thou, GIT is great for versioning, not just code, but any text;
3. Task & ToDo aspect.
   Some thoughts can be done, or archived, or something like that;
4. Clock & Calendar aspect.
   Some thoughts are just reminders. The tool should remind em for us.

the sequence below is the foundation for the idea

brain	script	keyboard
a thought starts as few words	create note	CTRL N
soon other related thoughts join	create grouped notes	CTRL G
usually it grows into an idea	expand note into document	CTRL E
originates many other thoughts	create nested notes	CTRL .
sometimes grows further into a whole project	expand note to list, board or project	CTRL E
but other times it just gets rejected	delete note	CTRL D
or even forgotten on the back of the mind	archive note	CTRL M
