I'm Building Tangent Notes: A Free, Open Source, Markdown(ish) Note Writing Tool. AMA.

I started building Tangent five years ago to try and solve some of the problems and shortcomings I saw with Obsidian at that time. Since then, I've had two kids, switched jobs twice, and released 11 major updates.

The most unique aspect of Tangent is the Map that builds out a two dimensional web of connections between notes as you create and follow links between them. This kind of two dimensional history has been incredibly useful when I've been juggling lots of individual, interrelated notes at once.
