honestly the forking thing is nice but yeah you lose the tree anyway once you close the app. zettlekasten works because you're building something permanent — what makes you think the conversation it...

The conversation doesn’t always need to be, but sometimes having notes about what else you’ve considered when running experiments can be critical when looking back over time for example.

Often when you’re in the exploratory phase of a project you pursue many dead ends most of which don’t belong in a paper. Sometimes you run thousands of versions of the same experiment and you want to follow up on some observations.

oh yeah that makes sense — keeping the exploratory mess separate from the final thing. do you actually go back and look at those dead ends later or more just for peace of mind while working?
