This can make the program more accessible and optimize it for specific use cases. - But one important aspect of interlinked modular writing is that the user is free to construct the organizational structure of their notes themselves, and that this process encourages idea creation. - Conversely, notetaking platforms like [[Obsidian]], [[ROAM Research]], and [[Remnote]] do not impose a preset organizational structure (beyond that required to write interlink notes in general). ## References - Helmond 2013, "The Algorithmization of the Hyperlink"
