I hope to release TableTops next year.

It's a non-linear graphical (in two senses of the word) knowledge management software that stores universal links to all of your stuff, local and in the cloud. It also does notes, tags, and script nodes (which can for example be used as alarms / reminders) and represents EVERYTHING as a great big graph.

The main UI element is a TableTop, which is also just a node in the graph that acts as a visual slice through it. Nodes (normal and other TableTops) can live on any number of TableTops.

Non-nerd users can see the TableTops as an infinite number of large work tables with your de-duplicated documents on them.

I have to work on the TL;DR. I also have to work on not rewriting the prototype every few months. :)



This sounds kind of similar to something I started working on years ago, but never really shipped in any meaningful way: <a href="http://dentedreality.com.au/projects/htfs/">HTFS</a>.

I suffered from the same issue of rewriting the prototype a few different times, in a few different languages/approaches, and never really seeing any of them through far enough to know if it'd be truly useful.

Hope you get yours shipped, for purely selfish reasons!


Wow, so many shared ideas!

I know that so many people have worked on stuff like this before. I will be the 203409283th to try and get it out there. :D


I'm fascinated by this idea. I hope it comes to fruition.


Well, this sounds like what I keep wishing existed. I want it!
