Thanks for checking this out. I'm the creator.

I'm a forensic pathologist with ADHD who lost hundreds of ideas using Roam, Notion, Obsidian. Realized the problem wasn't me - it was the design philosophy.

Traditional apps: Hierarchy. Linear. Enforced structure. ADHD brains: Associative. Network-based. Non-linear.

This tool flips that. No friction entry. Instant linking. Graph as first-class citizen.

Key decisions: - Single file (no complexity theater) - React+D3 from CDN (modern UX without build overhead) - Perfect export (zero lock-in philosophy) - Graph as first-class citizen (not bolted-on feature)

Happy to answer questions about ADHD design, technical choices or why punk rock simplicity beats corporate polish.

Code on GitHub. Free forever. MIT licensed.
