@Andy Brice:
Yes, it was Stickysorter. It was only ever a prototype demo output from MS Research Labs, so it didn’t actually “die” per se.
It caught my attention as I realised that it effectively built a database behind the scenes, and you could output that as a CSV file, edit it in Excel and re-input it to Stickysorter. So it had potential for development.
I wasn’t sure whether you would have seen it before. Evidently you hadn’t.

I appreciate that Hyper Plan allows the user to construct an N-dimensional space and take different dimensional slices through it.
That was the sort of thing that you could do with the DOS-based Lotus Agenda (by building what was effectively a category tree for all the Items of information), and I found something that does something similar only the other day in the form of planning tool TaskCoach (by building what is effectively a category tree for all the Tasks).

I avoid newsletters as they necessitate email management, so I won’t sign up for the newsletter on your website, but if/when you have an RSS feed URL for your website, I will put that in my Bazqux feed-reader (which is where I read OutlinerSoftware.com and many other blogs and forums, for example).
