Gregory's Server
@s_ol I want to make it easy to put any two notes on the screen next to each other. Without having to manage file names. I use file names a lot on the terminal.
I also want to try to build an app that feels very stable, moves very little, while dealing with an artifact that can't actually fit on a screen. This is a Christopher Alexander influence: https://www.rainmagazine.com/archive/2014/gatemaker; https://www.gregbryant.com/grogbrat/aspen97/index.html

Nice. Colin is on mastodon too btw: @ColinTheMathmo
I've tried building a more comfortable UI along the lines of the system from the HN post above, but the last point you brought up is the hard one here - I couldn't find any tools for *incremental* graph layout so that the graph can stay locally stable as new notes are added and I don't have the graph theory chops to implement something like that myself.
