Wow, this exactly how I organize my thoughts, and I've been slowly thinking about the design of this tool too.

I think the most unsolved part is the layout of arrows. I've never used any drawing or flowcharting program that could connect items at the speed of thought. You always spend time fiddling with the pathing of connector lines.

The auto-OCR feature is tricky too. You don't want to waste time clicking the Rect tool to draw a rectangle.

but how long does that really take? maybe it'll be more useful to develop some patience?

also, as we get older, we get slower. I recall watching my dad use a computer with such pause that I found it infuriating. Now (decades later) I find that I now pause sometimes rather than rush because I have so many more things on my mind.

Would love to read your thoughts on this. My note-taking is super messy. Currently using Obsidian and paper notebooks, and to be honest with you, I know it can be done better, I just haven't sat down and thought about it as I assume I'll stumble upon some bright spark who absolutely nails it and is kind enough to share the "how".
