Backlinked Notes
Knowledgeweight 1tracker · keeps what you put in
Good ideas rarely arrive alone — they arrive attached to other ideas, and ordinary notes cut the threads. Backlinked Notes keeps them connected: each note has a title, its content, and a field naming the other notes it links to, so your thinking becomes a web instead of a pile.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here — go on, put something in it.

Questions people ask
What are backlinked notes and how do they work here?
Each note carries a "links to" field where you write the titles of related notes. Follow the titles and you can wander your own thinking — the connections you record today are the ones that surprise you next year.
Is this like Obsidian or Roam but simpler?
It's the linking idea at its most stripped-down: notes, titles, and the links between them, with no plugins, no vault setup, no learning curve to speak of. If those tools felt like moving into a mansion, this is a good desk.
Do my notes stay on my own computer?
Yes — the whole thing is one HTML file running offline in your browser. No sync service, no account, nothing leaves the page. Your web of notes lives in a file you own forever.
Fits your knife at weight 1. Nothing here is final — Knife follows Life. Reforging within your tier is free, forever. Add it, drop it, reforge later; the file stays yours either way.
