Semantic Synchrony is a nonlinear word processor -- a shareable semantic graph database, allowing the expression and quick traversal of highly connected data.
You might enjoy the video introduction.
Semantic Synchrony is for expressing, connecting, exploring, and sharing knowledge. It has as many uses as paper: It can be a calendar, a notebook for studies, a web of quotations, a diary, an artist's sketchpad, a set of overlapping tables of contents, a filesystem with overlapping hierarchies. Maybe not origami. Using Semantic Synchrony can feel like using the Internet: Things are linked, and there is a search engine. It can also feel like creating and meditating on mandalas -- practical ones like grocery lists, or deep ones like notes about the self. If you choose, Semantic Synchrony lets you and others join your plans, your studies, your philosophy, your art -- any expressible thing. You can force yourself to share everything with someone (untested), or you can share only what you choose.
We are collecting more arguments for why smsn, the semantic web, and knowledge mapping are valuable.
Semantic Synchrony is among the easier Docker applications to install -- just run the Docker container, add a few lines to your .emacs config file, start Emacs, and run the smsn-mode command. You don't need to be good at Emacs.
This brief howto explains everything you will need to know to use Semantic Synchrony. It assumes no prior familiarity with Emacs, knowledge graphs, or any other technology. (For a complete list of commands, see the smsn-mode command reference.)
