This is interesting. We at OrgPad.com try to do something a bit different but still in the related/ almost same space - we want to make a system usable for normal people, not for mostly highly educated and concentrated hackers/ IT professionals. We don't do any activity tracking, you have to be deliberate, what to write down and what not. We also currently have no way to evaluate information in the units e.g. for some kind of hierarchy or automatic sorting. These features will eventually come, but we are not there yet. As I said, our users are mostly people with expertise in other fields than IT, like teachers, students or managers.

OrgPad.com is a SaaS tool that you can use for free. It tries to do away with as much hassle/ non-sense as possible by really focusing on information and relationships between those. You can connect units as you want, you can put into units what you want. The layout is topologically stable, but the absolute position can change slightly e.g. if you open up a unit which has a large picture or something. This is a completely new algorithm that understands a units area and therefore knows, if a link is crossing it or not. A killer feature is being able to do "a path through the graph" which is basically a presentation/ slideshow of sort. The nice thing is, you don't have to transform your knowledge to a different format to be able to present it. We have found that normal users are a lot quicker creating such a presentation compared to e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint. Oh, and of course you can easily collaborate on one OrgPage with multiple people e.g. by sending them a link for editing or adding them to your team. If you want to just have a look and not create a login: have a look at some of the public OrgPages https://orgpad.com/list

Currently, we are writing our own editor, that should be much simpler than the current one and therefore integrate much better with the whole concept. When it is done, editing on mobile will also be possible. Mobile is currently read-only, but you can at least upload photos/ videos and sort them later, when you are at a computer which is a big help for us and our users. The whole thing is developed in Clojure/ClojureScript so the idea of simplicity really was an inspiration.
