Thanks for making this and for all the great pointers here. I have been taking notes for years to build something like this. I had come across a zooming UI concept from Microsoft which dealt with a similar idea (don't remember the details) back in 2012. I hadn't followed up with this after that. Regarding the significant effort for writers I have been exploring a few options as that felt like the biggest drawback for this to catch on. I think we will soon figure out ways to make it less painful which will make it totally worth it

> Thanks for making this and for all the great pointers here. My pleasure. Thank you for reading. In the "updates to the prior work" section I have now linked to an HCI thesis that automates the process of flagging important content. That would be one way to reduce the workload for writers. The other approach is to just simplify the process of marking up content. If you write the markup yourself in markdown or HTML (or whatever), like I do, I think it may always be a bit of a hassle. Maybe a code editor plugin could help here. But if you author in a GUI environment, flagging the priority of content might be a bit less of a hassle.
