Yes, when you think of the many brilliant ideas that have appeared in subsequently vanished software over the years, it makes you weep, it really does.

Talking of which: one of the limitations I encountered in RoamResearch is an inability to open linked pages in a new window. Now if one was to combine the outstanding linking ability of RoamResearch with the side-by-side capabilities of REXnotes, what a lovely solution that would be!

I know we’ve drawn up our ideal set of features for knowledge management apps before; I really ought to settle down and sketch out all the ideas that people have found most useful over the years in an optimised app design. Or perhaps somebody more talented could do it? Then we’d send the sketches to, I dunno, 6Wunderkinder in Berlin (who seem to be chafing under the Microsoft regime) and ask them to build the actual app! For multiple platforms (like Wunderlist)!

Cheers,
Bill
