Chunk

To chunk information, a process by which individual pieces of an information set are bound together into a meaningful whole.

Basically adding relationships/views to markdown

For the live service go here -> chunk.anty.dev

Goals

• Redability (information is easy to zoom, pick apart, and digest, it should feel like an interactable Kurtzkezart video)
• Editability (editing is a click/tap away)
• Replicability (your devices should be able to cache this data for offline use, then synchronize at a later date)

It's easy to see the crucial thing is Chunk Data Visualization built on top of a solid Chunk Relationship Logic.

Overview

• Dead simple text markup
• Data relationships explicit in syntax
• Different visualization options

Implemetation

• CommonMark + Custom Data Relation Syntax
• Different visualization options
  • Editing

    • Shank/Edit -> selected chunk + children up to 4N (1N default) an editor
  • Viewing

    • Notes -> chunks ordered by recent side by side

    • Well -> selected chunk children on a grid

    • Graph -> nodes in a tree

Definitions

Chunk {
    value: string
    created: utc seconds since epoch
    modified: utc seconds since epoch
}
User {
    user: string
    pass: string
    salt: string (for brute force attacks)
}

Chunk Logic

A mockup of how chunks should be displayed under each view. This should give us an idea of how complex the system will be.

A chunk's header is defined by regex ^# *(?<title>(?: *[\w]+)+) *(?:[-=]> *(?<relations>(?:,? *[\w]+)+) *)?$ which extracts title and relations.

What advantage does relating chunks give me? Well that's the whole point, chunks relating to other chunks, but instead of putting it all in a big long list, this UI will nudge the user towards keeping their children list small 4-6 (green), 7-8 (yellow), 9+ (red). Yes, colors are important.

Notes

# Chores

Stuff I seriously don't like doing but I have to do anyways for my own well being and sanity.

## Groceries

## House Stuff
- Clean
- Do dishes

What would be the representation of the different views?
