Oh I’m just trying to help with your topic.

I don’t really understand German which is why I translated the text to English.

Swim lanes are really a hard to define as feature as sometimes it connects with freeform writing which are not truly swim lanes.

Infoqube could technically be a swim lane software for example but it can also be more of a spreadsheet. Tobu is another example of something that could count as a swim lane but it’s not really an outliner. Basket Notepads could be true swim lane as the lanes are there to constrict the free form writing but it’s not really as expansive and is closer to a desktop web homepage where the lanes are only 4.

It gets even more confusing as Sticky Notes and Mapping software come into play as there are mapping software that can be made to work like swim lanes via becoming more of a diagonal outliner.
