Cartograph

Small graph tool so notes, essays, and sources stay connected instead of living as lonely files.

Problem

Writing accumulates faster than it connects. Notes and sources drift into isolated files; the relationships — the useful part — go unrecorded.

Content as nodes, explicit links as edges. Authoring a connection is as cheap as writing a sentence; the graph is derived at build time.

Static build parses MDX into SQLite, emits pages plus a force-directed view. No server at runtime — everything versioned in git.

Making links cheap to create changed how I write. Connection is what makes a body of work more than a pile of pages.
