Evryca – fractal thinking tool to brainstorm and organize thoughts

Made a tool to organize thoughts. Actually it is a mind tree, but in a more web-friendly form. It has pivoted from what I originally started building at evryca.com. Some years ago I got the idea of fractal conversation, instead of old-school tree/ladder-like comments. I wanted to see only comments related to the current level. I started making "something" with fractal comments. This "something" was a project discussion platform. But it turned out that even I myself don't use it, and the idea of fractal comments stuck there unused. And recently it dawned on me that it may be a…

In plain words

Evryca is a brainstorming and note-taking tool that organizes thoughts using a fractal mind-tree structure. Instead of traditional hierarchical comment threads, users see only notes relevant to their current level of focus, allowing them to dive deep into topics while staying organized. It functions like a digital whiteboard for thinking, writing, and rearranging ideas in a single view. The tool is designed for anyone who needs to brainstorm, take notes, or organize complex thoughts in a web-based format.

    Hello, HN! Have you ever considered that you might be a visual thinker? A lot of studies emphasize the benefits of visual thinking in learning, as it activates different parts of the brain and enhances comprehension and retention. It is common, for example, to remind yourself of a concept by visualizing the page where you wrote it down. This is because the brain is more likely to remember visual information than text. Unlike traditional linear note-taking apps like Notion and Evernote, NodeLand introduces a revolutionary connection-based model. Everything you write is seamlessly integrated…

  • Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
