[Software Recommendations Required] Outliner with multiple columns per node including numeric ones that can be summarised

Musing a bit, playing with Hyper Plan….

In Andy’s Work Breakdown example, I can have a card for each chapter or story beat, related to cards for things of interest. That would be like a WBS chart with multiple roots.

If a thing related to two chapters, both chapters would have a relationship link to the thing.

Further musing, and thinking about the capabilities of the Filter, I could add a Chapter property. If I added chapters in the form of “-1-” for chapter 1, “-26-1-7-” for chapters 1, 7, and 26, I could see just the chapter 7 hierarchy with a “show” filter for “chapter contains -7-”. The dash prefix/postfix, means if I filter for -2-, I won’t also see -26-.

The plus button on the stored views feature will let me save a Chapter 7 view.

As I filter for different chapters, I can add stored chapter views.

Possibilities, possibilities. A story outliner that does double duty as project kanban utility, bill-paying watchdog, etc. Nice.
