Hi everybody,

I'm looking for an app that allows me to store and view my ideas in various ways: often, when working on a particular project, I come up with bits and pieces of ideas or creative material that I need to put somewhere and connect to other ideas. Lists are okay, but you tend to lose overview, because, well, they are lists. Also, you can't really connect ideas. Mind Maps are great, but only at a later stage of a project, when you know which nodes to use and how to connect them. But I find most Mind Map to be too "stiff".
I guess what I'm looking for is an application that allows me to store all my ideas, look at them in different ways, sort and move them, winnow through them and connect them in various ways. I have no idea what this app would look like, but I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Alex
