I'm so tired of these "infinite canvases" being proposed as solutions for organization without any second thought to how you'd retrieve any information. Minimaps are a possibility, but there are no shortage of ways to get ideas down both linearly and nonlinearly.

I thought the Zettelkasten hype would show more people that when it comes to organization and notetaking we need better ways to get things out than in. And when comes to the idea of "automatically linking" notes and ranking concepts within those notes based on importance or value there's no such thing as "one size fits all." Ideas and innovations in that area, maintenance, search, and surfacing relevant (forgotten) notes are far more interesting problems.
