Andy's evergreen notes | Andy Matuschak

Andy has built a career considering the impact of note-taking and ways to maximise it as a way to gain deeper insights and develop general knowledge. This notes microsite is one of their related experiments: a fluid UI that maps out navigation through interlinked notes. It's clever, with some nice touches, but I do find it a little clunky. Still, plenty here to take note of, if you'll excuse the pun.

A four-column, text-based UI. Each column has a vertical scrollbar, independent of the others, so that each one is at a different scroll position. Each column is a note, with distinct sections that include references and backlinks (at the bottom). When hovered, a backlink shows a preview of the page it links to.
I do like the distinction between references, content, and back links, as well as the hover cards.
