Thank you again Edward. I wandered in here shyly with an idea I didn't think would get much attention. And it still may not warrant or deserve a lot of interest here. Also the Leo community is about to begin work on 6.2 so I expect there isn't time to spare on something like this. Nonetheless I'm surprised and grateful for what attention and comment it has received.
I want to say that I have only touched here on my ideas about it. The zettelkasten concept is central to it indeed, but there's a lot more to my whole concept than the zettelkasten model. I've spent several years dreaming, as a non-programmer, on an optimal program for the writer, note-taker, organizer, thinker, journaler, what have you . All assembled, my ideas (some my own, some already implemented somewhere) would, imo, make a better program for this kind of work than anything I've been able to find (had I found it I'd already have it). Sure wish I were a programmer. Sometimes I've thought maybe I should dive into programming just to gain the skills to build this myself, but I think that's likely way too ambitious, especially at my age. But if/when someone here wants to/has time to give it a look, I would love to have the opportunity to submit a more lengthy 'essay' outlining in some detail what I've evolved in my imagination over a few years of thinking about this. Naming a few features doesn't get the idea across. I haven't written it up in one piece as yet. I need to scramble through all my past notes about it; might take 3-5 pages. Heck, maybe it's not as good a set of ideas as I think, but what I envision sure appeals to me for what I do with writing. Wish I'd had it 20 years ago.
