Argdown is an interesting Markdown syntax for constructing argument maps. argdown.org
It has some unusual non-linear writing features: e.g. you can give statements/arguments titles and elsewhere refer to them as supporting/undercutting others.

This looks very promising! Visual-first/only argument mapping often gets too unwieldy for realistic-scaled arguments IME. OTOH it's hard to "grok" the big picture in text only, so some way to move between the modalities is really useful!

Reminds me of one of my favorite under-cited papers: "Representational talkback: an approach to support writing as design": ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum - you weave back and forth between textual and graphical representations to "talk to" the thought representation you're constructing

This is very interesting! Thank you for sharing. Reminds me of the learning-through-seeing-how-others-interpret-your-teaching mechanism described as recursive feedback: andymatuschak.org/files/papers/O

Wonderful! I have a similar experience when I see how others cite / discuss my work. Often learn something new!
