I tried using Obsidian, but I could not resolve the uncertainty of what should be a separate note file vs several items inside a note file.

I then tried various 'outliner' applications (Dynalist, Roam, Workflowy). With these kinds of apps, there is hardly any friction between document and content granularity levels; everything can be just one big tree / directed graph.

I finally settled with Dynalist [1] -- it recently introduced backlinks and is the far more mature, sleek and feature-rich option compared to Roam.

Btw, obsidian is from the same makers of dynalist.

While I love Dynalist design, their forum and the simplicity...

Roam is evolving quickly and has (what appears to be) little features that make it much more useful to me. More like a living, organic thing.

Eg: I really enjoy [[doing this]] to a concept and turning it into a page in less than a second...
