I would be really interested in facilitating 2

What's your vision?

Good personal note taking software that allows me to easily connect related notes

A way to find other people who think along similar lines to me/have related ideas

I do something similar, except I have a shell script that pipes my notes out of Letterspace into a single giant text file, which I made a little web tool to filter by hashtags. Know anyone else who has this problem?

Also, do you happen to have the pain point of not being able to connect a related notes with current org-mode as well?

Re:Sigma.js, a JavaScript library dedicated to graph drawing on Tuesday February 04, 2014 @10:55PM (#7181800)
Hello all, I'm a student at MIT working on a project building a general-case platform to create and explore graphs called WikiNets http://wikinets.co.uk/ with the goal of enabling half-formed ideas separated across different people's heads to come together (e.g. making a custom platform for http://hackathonprojects.tk/). Anyone want to work on this with us? I would love to find others who think on this same wavelength and I lament that (ironically) there's not yet a way online for people to find others with synergistic ideas! Feel free to poke me at [email protected] Incidentally, we're currently using D3, but welcome suggestions as well!
Re:A Hacker News For Ideas on Sunday May 19, 2013 @01:53PM (#5733715)
For a while, I've been assembling a giant collaborative google doc of hackathon/startup project ideas with my friends that's been quite successful: http://hackathonprojects.tk/ Notably, we've developed a syntax for linking ideas to each other, so that people browsing the site can see hard-to-see relationships between people and projects that others have found. I've also been working on a dedicated web platform for this purpose (to facilitate ideation): IdeaOverflow. When you start typing in an idea, it uses MIT ConceptNet 4 as well as the manually established graph of ideas already present to attempt to suggest related ideas in the database.

I have larger aspirations as well... http://ideaoverflowideplan.tk/

Email me at [email protected] if you'd like to work on this with me by the way! Basic django (or php! or js frontend!) skills are sufficient to be useful, though making a good interface to explore graphs is also a high priority... http://arborjs.org/ is almost right but not quite.
