Lineage looks very interesting and it has the benefits of Obsidian’s low friction. Very timely suggestion, actually. Over the last few weeks I’ve been outlining/story planning with a similar method in Curio.

Curio now has a object type called a Composition. It’s a grid layout container for other objects. I’ve been writing story beats in a left hand column with notes to the right.

My favorite feature of Compositions is the individual Markdown or RTF notes can be synced instances of a master note somewhere in my Curio file. That’s probably not so much use for a scene outline, but it’s nice to have character and scene notes appear in multiple places, editable wherever they appear.

Wonderful, the amazing tools we can access in modern times. I’ve got Lineage installed on Obsidian on my Linux box and plan to give it a good workout this evening.

I just started using Lineage last week and I can recommend it. It has extensive keyboard shortcuts that make it easy to add notes above, below and to the right, as well as splitting and merging them. Export to a single note is one mouse click. And the best features: fully offline and no subscription required.

I consider Obsidian’s case to be special. Its architecture that supports plug-ins makes it an operating system within an operating system, so that it becomes an open writing environment for multiple systems, methods, and work environments focused on text and data management. I think we can even talk about a new management and work paradigm.

Obsidian reminds me of Emacs, except that normal people can actually use it.

Heh heh, I couldn’t agree more ;-)
