The public notebook (“evergreen note”, “commonplace notebook”, etc. ) style of hosting ideas has been getting some traction recently. I like it, and think it’s superior to blogs in some way. But how am I supposed to keep track of so many un-indexable and distributed notebooks? I need to build an aggregator.

Ideally: your notes will automatically form connections with other peoples notes and present them to you. That way, you solve two problems at once: content discovery, connection and distribution all distributing some sort of social layer underneath it all.

Cool paper—was thinking that there needs to be some sort of typing mechanism that can be automated somehow. I don’t think composability is a necessity in achieving better social linking of thought though.

Composability is an issue, unless you use ologs as intermediate representations https://arxiv.org/abs/1102.1889

I’ve come across it before and I think it’s one of the closest things I’m envisioning. Not sure how I ought to explore the graph though, maybe I need to link to my own thoughts?
