By now, we are working on the FreeForm corkboard, where you can drag and drop your index cards.
Current state of the FreeForm view:

Novident give us a corkboard that is the key visual tool for organizing and structuring writing projects, such as novels, essays, screenplays, or research. Its design mimics a traditional corkboard with index cards, where each card can represents a section, chapter, scene, or idea from your project.
-
Visual Tabs: Each tab displays can displays the content associated with the Node passed. For example, in a novel, each tab could be a scene with notes about its plot or characters.
-
Flexibility: Tabs can be rearranged by dragging and dropping, allowing you to experiment with the structure of your project without altering the entire text.
-
Integration: Each tab is linked to a Node within the novident-nodes implementation.
Novident offers three main working modes, which complement Corkboard:
Classic view of cards organized on a board.
Ideal for visually planning and reordering sections. You can filter cards using customFilters (useful for large projects).
Ideal for visually a free reordering sections without offset limits.
Displays the structure as a hierarchical list, with details such as target words, dates, or metadata. Perfect for a more detailed, textual view of the project's order.
Focuses on writing the text associated with a specific card.
Allows you to work without distractions on the content of each section.
We greatly appreciate your time and effort.
To keep the project consistent and maintainable, we have a few guidelines that we ask all contributors to follow. These guidelines help ensure that everyone can understand and work with the code easier.
