Lotu
Not a product per-se, but from the discussion, the prototype seems interesting. It is an attempt to create a densely connected Digital Garden. (The term digital garden has become a popular term for describing websites that incorporate multiple facets of a person’s digital space like notes, blog etc into a single thing and allows visitors to stroll through them seamlessly like a garden with densely connected graph like structure. [This article](https://nesslabs.com/mind-garden) from Anne-Laure Le Cunff has an excellent explanation of it).
Some examples of digital garden: http://gordonbrander.com/pattern/ https://notes.andymatuschak.com https://notes.azlen.me/g3tibyfv/: https://github.com/azlen/azlen.me/tree/master/notes https://joelhooks.com/ https://tomcritchlow.com/
