Hacker News Reader

It points to all this research in support of hierarchical storage, but based off of skimming it it seems like all that research merely only supports directed vs undirected, not tree vs graph. Meaning, a DAG still seems superior to a Tree - does this allow children to have multiple parents?

I found myself wanting a graph based approach too, with multiple parents, so I created Very Nested [1] to find out what it was like.

It's open source, outline focused (like workflowy) and uses GitHub for storage and hosting. It also supports files and images.

So far, I've enjoyed organising my recipes [2] with it.

Feedback welcome, it's very new.

children can only have 1 canonical parent but can have any number of backlinks to other nodes in the graph
