The UX of drafting in space

Daniel Buschek outlines an alternative to writing in a linear format. "The best writing tool I've discovered last year was to stop drafting on a page and use a canvas-based user interface (UI) instead." In this article, he writes, "I'll share what motivated this change and reflect on the strategies that help me make the most of it." I think it's telling that one of the first comments in response says "one challenging aspect of writing is to 'serialize' all the bits into a coherent story... if I connect multiple fragments into a section, can I get an outline generated for me, with reasonable sequencing and transitions?" This is exactly what Buschek is trying to get away from! But I sympathize - I've used Miro, and it's not intuitive, and it's hard to resist the urge to turn it into a story. Via Matthias Melcher.
