Interesting article, thanks. But it sounds like the old N+1 standards approach (xkcd.com/927/) What do you think of org-mode as the answer? Very readable, way more complete (todo's, tables, tags...) and in use by a large community for decades.

*A very large community of developers π
I think org-mode is inaccessible to 95% of people who arenβt programmers.
WYSIWYG block-based editors are the most democratising + useable medium weβve seen to date, and developing new standards is inevitable and not inherently bad

Take that with a large grain of salt though. π
I personally found org-mode hard to work in. And Iβm actively involved in projects to expand and standardise block-based interfaces. Strong bias towards my own research interests.

Understood. The vertical learning 'curve' of org+emacs has held it back. *But* its capabilities cover most needs of TFT/PKM tools, so it could be used for interop. EG my own works w because they both read/write plain text org - zero effort integration.

Appreciate itβs an incredibly flexible and empowering format for some % of people who might need TFTs related to knowledge management π
I just worry itβs not as accessible to people with no programming experience (or desire to gain any), which is likely the higher % of folks
