This is a great point. I highly recommend "Liminal Thinking", which explains how what he calls "Battles for the Obvious" like this get started.

What I've been doing when I want to avoid this "unexpected leading", is to tell the LLM to "Ask me 3 rounds of 5 clarifying questions each, first.". The first round usually exposes the main assumptions it's mak

I also tried Zed on Linux a few months back, and had GPU/driver issues, so it was either slow or didn't run. Tried it just now and it worked right out of the box, and it's incredibly fast. I will keep playing around with it

I don't promote often enough, but my writing platform is basically built for working this way: https://gingkowriter.com (came up with the concept when struggling to write my PhD thesis) Hope it helps!

Thanks for taking the time to add these details. Will add to the arsenal of tools. Best of luck!

My son (11yo) has had this as well for the last 2.5 years. Seeing an Audiologist for treatment. Can you elaborate a little on "listening to violent noises" approach? When do you do this, for how long? Is it graduated in intensity,

Hilarious! (For comparison, here's GPT-4 getting it on first try: https://chat.openai.com/share/9e17ed25-d9ea-4e72-a9d8-a139ca... )

I've started teaching my (homeschooled, 10yo) son Python, and he's been briefly exposed to some 3D software (including Blender). I'm curious: how do you imagine this working? Can you name a few examples of the learning possib

Ok, glad it's mentioned somewhere. Couldn't find any mention first time I checked it out.

I'm the creator of the app that inspired this one, http://gingkoapp.com They say imitation is the best form of flattery, but I'm surprised Ray that you didn't credit Gingko at all. It's practically identical.

Actually, it does Markdown, which includes images, and anything you can embed as HTML. Also, supports LaTeX.

My wife and I, and our 3 yr old son, got rid of most of our possessions, stored the rest, and went of for a 6 month stint of the digital nomad life. We both have location independent businesses, so we could have continued indefinitely. But

Interesting approach. I agree with the premise (code is structured, and shouldn't be handled as flat files). I've played with the idea of using my own card-tree editor as a LISP editor before: http://blog.gingkoapp.com&

Lots of interesting points, but I disagree with the logic that "we are not designed to handle more than one layer at a time" necessarily implies that a tree-editor is impossible/undesirable. Yes, we are only built to think of

This is pretty much exactly what we're trying to achieve with Gingko. It's a full tree editor, that is being used for everything from PhD theses, to television screenplays. http://gingkoapp.com https://www.y

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, more than three layers deep is our highest priority, along with offline mode. And you are right, I meant "depth-first"; makes more sense.

by adriano_f 13y ago
Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you like it. My cofounder is working on full offline support right now, as it's been a much requested feature.

"Hypertext" perspective shift... I like that. What's your project called? Can I see it? PS: My ancestry goes: Italian > Argentinian > born in Kuwait > living in Canada. "Ferrari" means iron-worker in Italia

I love overthinking things! It's true that if every card had a title, then import and export while maintaining the tree structure would be easy. But as it stands, if you have the following cards: A A.1 A.2 B this a

> that sometimes, the tree is more like a graph I agree, but I think it's better to start with a tree, and then add graph-like features, than to start with a graph and try to make a tree out of it. Mostly because I believe hierarc

Most of the site is much more toned down, but I thought I'd share what I believe about Gingko's potential. I respect Nelson, but his intensity is off-putting... don't want to make the same mistake.

I see. Again, thanks for the insider info. I didn't consider that presenting too much concept art & story details might detract from the experience of letting the concept blossom in the studio exec's own mind. I'll ha

I agree, the UI needs improvement. No one feels the gaps more than I do. But they say, "launch before you're ready!" ;) For one thing, scrolling on its own (with mouse scroll), doesn't automatically highlight whichever c

We explored having different color scheme to denote the node distance between two cards. Unfortunately, it got too messy, and neither of us are designers, so we had to shelve it for now. As for scrolling, and want the mouse scrolling to wor

That app still exists, and it's being worked on by my friend Ivan Savov, one of the original founders. You can check it out at http://papers.mcgillweb.com

Yes we could definitely improve the way you interact with the tree. For one thing, the looping back when holding the arrow key is annoying to me too, and a simple fix we will get to. As for the branch jumping, we tried other approaches, but

For three levels deep, no we don't need a new standard. Larger trees, linked together will probably need something new.

Thanks. You can contact me through main menu in app (gear at top right). UPDATE: My cofounder has just found the bug and deployed a fix. Refresh and it shouldn't happen again.

We attach files using dropbox links. It's a workaround, but it's been useful so far. Offline & import/export are features in the pipeline.
