One of the things I like about wikis is the concept of backlinks [1]. I currently use TW5 (TiddlyWiki) for my 700+ notes and I always find something that I have written but have forgotten ever writing those down. From the screenshoots it appears like MindForger has this feature and I am glad they chose to implement it. Very few note taking software seem to implement it these days. The ability to see the relationship of existing notes is revelatory. I will be watching this one to see how they progress. Hope they will release a Windows version too.

In practice, back linking or otherwise connecting notes in some relational manner is the difference between a knowledge base and just a stack of notes.

Semi-unrelated: I am very eager to see how well MindForger can be used with my TiddlyWikis. Prior to now seeing MindForger, TiddlyWiki was the only thing I'd describe as being close to being an IDE for the mind, and the possibilities of such excites me greatly.

I like that MindForger might be useful for reading documents, not just writing them.

I don't get how does backlinks help here.
