They describe it as ‘A web note-taking app to structure and enrich all your thoughts in one place. As if Miro and Notion had a baby.’

To me it seems like a fancy notecard app. Not as deep as your Heptabases, Kosmiks, etc. but free to try and use right now. Obsidian is my daily driver, but I like seeing these hybrid visual/text tools for brainstorming, visual thinking, diagramming, etc.

Basically you can create and visually organize cards on pages (grid-based.) Workspaces (of pages), pages, tabs, sub-pages all supported. Cards can contain various types of content- text, links, tables, lists, images, etc. Formatting, re-sizing and moving cards around seems relatively smooth, there is visual feedback when you re-arrange cards on a page. At the beginning of any line, you can type ‘/’ to trigger command mode with a Notion-like drop list of commands.

You can indent bullet lists but no outlining- it would be nice to have toggle lists like in Notion.
