I installed BT on Brave; while it took a while to figure it out, I'm pleased with the platform and the concepts it embodies.
As a topic mapper, I was immediately attracted to it, though, in reality, it's not a full-Monty topic map the way I build them. What, then, is it and why do I use it - and, for that matter, design improvements on it?
As the web page says, it gives me control of my browser, and it uses that control and its web annotation tools to allow me to fully, and more deeply curate my topics than ever before. I contrast that to a long history of using https://hypothes.is/ https://hypothes.is/ and WorldBrain's Memex. There are important differences. Still, controlling the tabs on my browser is, for me, a huge bonus.
org-mode is NOT a hot point for me; more a kind of convenience; I can run org-mode in vscode if I want to do that, but I don't come from an emacs background, so that's not a sales point; the primary sales point is that it is helping me improve on my abilities in deep biomedical research.
BT is presently for personal work; I'll be interested to see where it can go in the space of online collaboration.
