It’s mind-mapping software that has a “zoom” component, and uses Mandelbrot fractal visuals as a background to provide some kind of landmarks I guess? Neat, but I’m a bit turned off by the grandiose readme. Reading it felt like I was trying to decode the product offering of an NFT platform from a few years ago or something.
Great concept! However like many zettelkasten implementations it gives the user too much freedom imo. To me zettelkasten are most useful because of their limitations, like restricting the size of each note, limiting how many notes you can see at a time, or limiting how fast you can traverse through notes. I think it's more important to be able to hold the overall structure of notes in your mind, which zettelkasten facilitates by intentionally making everything harder to do.
To me it reads like some Adderall'd fever dream, like the Neurite author is one step away from going a bit too far and turning into one of those "why don't they see my genius??????" types.
To me, the next generation of PKM doesn't lie at the level of representation but at the level simplification, and integrating prior strands of though into something usable.
We leave such data trails, but every time we switch or another tool comes along, the switching cost/conversion process leaves much to be desired and some of our prior history beyond reach.
Even as plain text, the sheer feature discrepancy between tool A and B leaves our knowledge siloed. The semantic Web had its moments, but we never took that concept to heart when considering our individual webs of thought.
Your semantics and mine may be inoperable, but that's okay. We just need better tooling to accustom our personal semantics, and I think projects like this lay the groundwork for that.
Some nice UI decisions (dragging hyperlinks to spawn new nodes), but overall it seems like an art project (i.e. how it started) with unclear practical advantage over a more straightforward "second brain" like Obsidian, or established AI/data workflow tools.
Also in part because it's trying some localhost stuff? o.0

Do you mean the system described and developed is based on things that aren't real?
