Note Links

How do I link notes together?

In the note editor, tap the "Related Notes" tab at the bottom. Then tap "+ Add Link..." and select the note you want to link to.

Can I record why I connected two notes?

Yes. The confirmation dialog shown when you create a link has a "Why you connected them" field where you can write it in your own words. You can also pick a relation type (Supports, Contradicts, Extends, Analogizes, Applies To, Evolves). Both are optional — the relation type starts as "Not set". You can add, edit, or remove them at any time by tapping a link chip in the note editor, from the "⋮" menu in the preview's related notes list, from the related notes list in the preview that opens when you tap a node on the graph, or by tapping the edge (the line between two notes) directly on the graph. Links with a relation type are drawn in that type's color on the graph, so you can tell the kinds of relationships apart at a glance.

On top of that, links that have both a reason and a relation type become material for the chat. When a note related to your question turns up, the chat follows that link, reads the note on the other side, and may close its reply with "the path you connected" plus a question it raises. The relation type shapes the question ("contradicts" asks whether the two really are incompatible; "applies to" asks whether it could hold in another domain). A link with only one of the two does not trigger this.

Why are some nodes bigger than others in the graph?

Notes with many links (hubs) are automatically shown larger. Relative to the rest of the graph, the most connected notes also get an outline, making it easy to spot where your thinking converges when zoomed out. You can also adjust the overall node size with the size slider in the settings panel.
