SlimeWrite
Tending to ideas as they seed, grow, fruit, and rot.
SlimeWrite is a writing tool that helps you develope your ideas organically, and to present them navicably and efficiently. Unlike other Evergreen Notes/Digital Garden tools, SlimeWrite emphasizes the decay and destruction of older notes, so that your writing can benefit from a healthy "metabolism".
Our priority isn't on building a feature-packed UI with customization, bells, whistles etc, but on cystallizing a networked writing system that works well, and makes existing solutions (Obsidian, org, jekyll, mediawiki) interoperable and collaboration-ready.
SlimeWrite responds to common problems in the space of things like Obsidian, Logseq, Roam, Org and other PKMS software:
- If you're doing a lot of networked writing, you eventually get to a horrible ball-of-yarn that is unhelpful and overwhelming.
- While all of these apps are ostensibly interoperable, there are some nastey edge cases where things like tags aren't transferable. SlimeWrite's data model is maximally compatible.
- These tools are all pretty niche, and if you need to collaborate with "normies" it isn't really possible. SlimeWrite has an intuitive interface that the Google-Docs croud are be happy to use.
The solution SlimeWrite provides to these are:
- Novel interfaces centered around a graph view of your remarks.
- Sorted graph views
- tiered archiving to keep your working notes uncluttered
- 3d timeline view of writing history
- computed tags including via LLM
- Unify several data models into the de-facto standard (markdown with frontmatter)
- Online-first live editing, or robust pull/push/merge with offline sources via git
