This whole area is very underserved in how people interact with their computers, glad to see people pushing at it. You could do worse then really digging deep into emacs org-mode and learning it well. It takes what you are doing to a much higher level but doesn't exist on the web yet. Also (as mentioned elsewhere) get yourself up here https://demo.sandstorm.io/demo https://demo.sandstorm.io/demo

It's great to see you agree on the importance of this area! I believe that when people have tools that allow them to visualize their thoughts they can become more rational as well as more productive. I like emacs org-mode too. I would like to add functionality to CrushPaper that is similar to some aspects of emacs org-mode. But, first I need more feedback on the current iteration.

  It's difficult for me to give feedback as I'm too opinionated at some level (ie see my "computational document" comment). I'm also a grumpy vim/emacs diehard in general so your keybindings are never going to be to my taste. Try to avoid the popup modal dialog boxes ie for creating a new note. Focus on fluid note editing within the document. Alt+enter to end a note? What is the absolute most fluid way you can give the user to create a sibling?

  For the particle cross section of - outliner org-tangle/org-babel, literate programming and/or http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.html http://www.howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-devops.htm... broadly exportable format calendar/todo/personal information management etc etc I'm not aware of anything else that covers that territory. However Xiki and IPython (Jupyter now) do have some of the aspects of the "computational document" that I think of in this broader context.
