Note Taking Application

A (I hope) novel idea about note taking apps: Instead of keeping the notes and
|
||
|
|
having either links or tags to link different content, each note is short and
|
||
|
|
you can create a thread of notes, somewhat similar to the way microblogging
|
||
|
|
tools like Twitter and Mastodon work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Still thinking on storage. Initially, it feels like using SQLite would suffice,
|
||
|
|
but I'd prefer some text format for not "locking" the content into a single
|
||
|
|
thing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Text Storage could be a couple of Markdown with special links, but that means
|
||
|
|
that building a whole graph of connected notes (all the threads in your notes)
|
||
|
|
would take a massive time, since every note would have to be scanned and marked
|
||
|
|
as a parent or child of another (also, a child note could appear before a
|
||
|
|
parent, and we would need to take that in care). Another solution would use a
|
||
|
|
hidden file for the index: all notes are markdown (with or without the special
|
||
|
|
links) but a single file contains the whole note structure. This could create
|
||
|
|
an issue when the user manually changes a note.

### Insert note
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
+-------------------------------------------------+
|
||
|
|
| +---------------------------------------------+ |
|
||
|
|
| | New note: | |
|
||
|
|
| | [ ] | |
|
||
|
|
| | [ ] | |
|
||
|
|
| | [ + Add new ] | |
|
||
|
|
| +---------------------------------------------+ |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| +---------------------------------------------+ |
|
||
|
|
| | This is a note | |
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
| +---------------------------------------------+ |
|
||
|
|
| |
|
||
|
|
| +---------------------------------------------| |
|
||
|
|
| | Another note, not necessarily a follow up | |
|
||
|
|
| | of the one above. | |
|

### Map view
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
+-------------------------+
|
||
|
|
-| A follow up of "A note" |
|
||
|
|
+---------+ / +-------------------------+
|
||
|
|
| A note |-
|
||
|
|
+---------+ \ +-------------------+ +------------------------+
|

-| Another follow up |---| Follow up of "Another" |
