Show HN: Evryca - fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize
thoughts
Made a tool to organize thoughts. Actually it is a mind tree, but
in a more web-friendly form. It has pivoted from what I originally
started building at evryca.com. Some years ago I got the idea of
fractal conversation, instead of old-school tree/ladder-like
comments. I wanted to see only comments related to the current
level. I started making "something" with fractal comments. This
"something" was a project discussion platform. But it turned out
that even I myself don't use it, and the idea of fractal comments
stuck there unused. And recently it dawned on me that it may be a
conversation with yourself -- thinking, brainstorming, taking
notes, writing. So made this kind of cork/whiteboard, where one can
dive into the subject and, being in the flow, write and see only
related notes and rearrange them later. I'm trying to make it
flawless and add keyboard shortcuts where it's possible (Ctr+Enter
to submit idea, drag-and-drop to rearrange, Esc to jump level up).
So finally I've made a tool that I use myself and will update it
gradually (sorting, touch devices, ex/import (json, text), boards,
more navigation with keyboard and other stuff, and login).

| Does "levels" mean "depth"? To give the feel how deep in the
| subject you are?
|
| Don't stacked "parents" give that feel?

| Yes! Level means depth.

|
| No! The stack doesn't give me that feel, because visually, it
| doesn't look like a stack. My brain perceives a series of
| plain text lines as a block of information. There's a reason
| we add "numbers" or "discs" to checklists. We want them
| differentiated from normal text blocks. Of course you don't
| necessarily need to use "discs", you could also make use of
| relative positioning (between levels) or color (varying the
| intensity of the same color as you move up and down the
| levels, or use a color theme).
