Fully agree with the problem the article says. This is why I also built Recall [1] (shameless plug). Constraints goes a long way. Auto layout and grid like structure helps to make things neater. I don't see a problem in using a 2D canvas to show these dependencies. But the issue is that the typical flow doesn't really match how we think. For example, we think about what needs to be done after X. Meanwhile the typical flow is: Write X, then Y, then connect the arrows. From building and using Recall, I also found that we (at least myself) don't always think linearly. I often need to add or remove tasks in the middle. Most often, I am already working on a task when I realize that something else needs to be done. Or I put a note that something needs to be done later. If you're interested in this kind of project management, I'd love to get your feedback on Recall. I'm also constantly improving the experience so let me know if you'd like to be updated!
