Outliner to find associations

Thank you Graham,

Unfortunately, it works on unix based systems only, and I can’t imagine working with an engineer-designed word processor like Emacs ;-)
Anyway, Remembrance is very very interesting, and I really hope that developers of outliners will soon consider adding such features into their app.

BTW, I think I’ve found one after reading the following on shashdot:

“The Literary Machine [literarymachine.com] provides a lot of power in a Windows environment. The basic version was free last I checked, though he’s ceased development on it in favor of the Pro version ($20), which is being actively developed and integrates a number of new features (but I haven’t tried it yet). It organizes everything based on a non-hierarchical keyword association system, and while it takes some getting used to (and can be downright messy sometimes), it does allow for the discovery of connections between notes that you might not have put together otherwise.”

This software is certainly good, but the UI is a tribute to the computer first ages! Has anyone used it successfully ?

Thanks again,
Sebastien
