Yes RN outlines are a strict hierarchy which means that it is a tree ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(graph_theory) ) rather than a directed graph ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_graph ) which is the structure in IQ. Directed graphs are better. However an outline may be included as a note type which is rather neat (it also has a spreadsheet as a note type).

With just a few more features RN would become much more useful, but those few features probably represent a hideous amount of programming work. I don’t know.

Right Note is a lightweight which I find limiting but it does have an attractive user interface. InfoQube is more powerful and does much more but is also harder to use.

As for designing user interfaces, I know a good user interface when I see one but I am not very creative when it comes to original ideas for UI design. When things occur to me I will suggest them in the appropriate place.
