  Semantic Synchrony. An experiment in cognitive and sensory augmentation.

  

  As a fan of personal knowledge bases, siloing my novel(s) in a separate app from the rest of my writing would bother me.

  In fact my data is already split between Semantic Synchrony[1] and org-roam[2], and it's a bummer.

  Discontinued Free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor with live preview, string interpolation, and math.

  My open-source plain text editor, KeenWrite, is strikingly similar:

  I've taken a slightly different approach for novel outlines. Rather than use the `@` syntax, KeenWrite includes support for pandoc's ::: div syntax, which is quite flexible. Here's a screenshot showing an exported PDF generated from a Markdown document:

  On the left, variables are shown. Those variables can be fed into R statements. In the screen shot, the R code performs date calculations so that the dates are guaranteed to be consistent and correct, which is useful to keep complex timelines straight.
