Nuclino

I’m loving this app to make a game design document. It’s a little hard to navigate at first on a phone, iPad formatting feels better to use. I was using google docs to write everything down and share with my team and this app feels revolutionary. Especially love the @ quick links to get to specific topics details so they don’t feel buried.

Nuclino is great if you have lots of complex information to organize and interlink. Currently I experience an issue when moving a page or collection; it basically decouples and becomes a float element disassociated from and unable to place in the list again. It persists until I restart the app. The suggestion I have is a toggle that allows the graph layout to include (maybe as a different color or dotted line) the in page links. This would be incredibly useful as it would show other axes of centrality and clusters of pages reflected in the hyperlinks. The links feature is what makes this better than OneNote for sorting files. personally I find OneNote’s section organization and indentation more intuitive. Nuclino requires new layers to convey taxonomy. That is cognitively expensive (more clicks through dedicated organizing elements). It would be worth considering allowing notes to be added to collections so you can give account of what a group means without forcing a subpage dedicated to that (which can push containers into the list; which is the tradeoff perhaps to Nuclino approach). Overall, I love and recommend this product.
