@betahost Thanks for asking! Many of the products you've mentioned, while incredibly powerful, also have very steep learning curves or setup. I think all of them are focused on typing text-based markup. ScatterNote is focused on ease-of-use, and a more tactile interaction with your notes. For example, most other apps connect notes by marking-down one note from another. In ScatterNote, you simply drag a note on top of the other. Now they are connected! You're right though, ScatterNote is not an app for building a traditional zettelkasten, however it's significantly different from other note-taking apps in that it's more a graph-database for your thoughts. I'd also like to add that there is a desktop version on the roadmap, but for technical reasons is pretty far off in the future. The notebook experience in ScatterNote is actually built on top of a game engine which will require a little bit of rework to stand up on PC & Mac. Cheers!

@dan_manning @victorbjorklund That's a great question that comes up quite often. Mindmaps are strictly hierarchical, the relationships are always a parent to one or more children. So for example, you could have a Star Wars mindmap and a Lord of the Rings mindmap, but can't connect Luke Skywalker and Frodo as the hero of each story. In ScatterNote, you can connect any item to any other item. Users can also describe the relationships between items, so you could indicate that the relationship in our example of Luke <-> Frodo is much different than the relationship between Luke <-> Leia which is (spoiler alert!) brother and sister.
