I've been meaning to build a simple writing/research tool that is basically GitHub Markdown combined with two additional features:
1. A "tagging" component at the sentence level, so I can tag individual sentences. For example, the previous sentence could be tagged with {{feature-idea}}.
2. {{feature-idea}} A semantic search capability where I can see which other sentences in all of my documents are similar to the one I'm on or the one I'm interested in.
Why, you ask? I like to keep a daily journal of ideas based on the news, blog posts, etc. I read... Similar to Caesar's commentaries[1] because ideas and observations come daily and you don't want to forget them, especially if they are tied to global/current events.
Yes, this is basically a knowledge graph... And all the tools I see that do this really overcomplicated the entire process by actually building weird graph interfaces or mind maps (which I'm not a fan of).
If anyone knows of one like this, let me know!

- DiggyJohnson 6y agoI have been getting much more into Freeplane, but notably with an appreciation for the two items you laid out here. It’s an interesting approximation, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. [0] https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home
- cl42 6y agoThank you! Will definitely try it.
- escherize 6y agoI've been using logseq.com and it is great. It has bidirectional references like you discussed, and sentence level referencing, and embedding.
