What is a “thort”? Seems to be either a very rude term, or a “thought”.
I appreciate the endorsement on the landing page: “From the moment I saw Thortspace on my screen, I sensed excitement.”
Indeed. And then?
Seriously, it is an interesting concept and seems to work as advertised—sort of . A bit more accessible from a big-picture perspective than flat mind-map trees or even TheBrain. I played with the Mac AppStore version, which is full of glitches, bad layout, ugly labels, etc. The app seems to get in its own way.

I think that sums it up best.

Are there any outline/org apps that do added value 3D (versus novelty, gimmicky 3d) well?

Kumu is similar with a very clean design.. Not really “3D”—but you cannot do real 3D on a flat monitor anyway.

Seems to be a British company, so they probably assumed that everybody would pronounce it with a British accent and a silent “r”...

Some years ago I was looking for something along these lines, but nothing really ticked the box in the end:

I toyed with the idea of adding a 3D view into Hyper Plan. But I decided that it would be flashy, rather than useful, so I abandoned the idea. It’s a pity, because it would have been fun to program!
