         | being used by game designers and tabletop RPG participants.

       | Interesting, is this built on any open source note
       | taking/research tool, or just derived similar features?

         | Similar features! LK is a smattering of a bunch of libraries
         | and original code. Prosemirror is foundational to the app, and
         | we recently added tldraw for diagramming.

       | Creator here! Thanks for the shoutout; I built LegendKeeper to
       | help me with my D&D campaigns and found that having a tool to
       | reason about world knowledge, geography, and relationships was
       | helpful in other domains too, such as fiction writing and game
       | design.

         | the pin tool as a study aid. I loved that!
