One helpful tip per day:)

Alan Chan, in an interview with Ness Lab, shared detailed insights on developing and using Heptabase:

  1. Heptabase was inspired by Douglas Engelbart's Open Hyperdocument System (OHS). Alan wondered how Engelbart would implement this concept with modern development tools.
  2. He aimed for a product that evolves with its users, adapting to their changing needs instead of remaining static.
  3. Heptabase is built on two models: the 'Knowledge Cycle' involving exploration, collection, thinking, creating, and sharing, and a 'Multi-layer System' where each layer handles a specific task.
  4. Its whiteboard design is guided by two principles: enhanced thinking through visual representation and deeper thinking through granularization of concepts.
  5. The 'aha' moment with Heptabase comes when accumulated cards lead to more fluid thinking.

Alan Chan 接受了 Ness Lab 的访谈,详细介绍了他们如何开发和使用 Heptabase:

  1. Heptabase 的灵感来源于 Douglas Engelbart 的 Open Hyperdocument System (OHS) 概念。Alan 反问自己,如果 Douglas Engelbart 有了现代的开发栈,会如何实现这一概念?
  2. 他希望产品能和用户一起成长,即产品会随着用户需求的变化而成长,而不是一成不变地要求用户来适应;
  3. Heptabase 基于两个思维模型:1. 知识循环,即知识的产生有五个环节 -- 探索,搜集,思考,创造和分享;2. 多层系统,即一个系统有多层,每一层负责一个任务。
  4. Heptabase 的白板设计基于两个理念:1. 当人们能看到时,他们的思考更好;2. 为了更深入地思考,人们需要将学到的概念颗粒化。
  5. 使用 Heptabase 的“啊哈”时刻在于,当你逐渐积累了很多卡片之后,你会发现思考变得越来越流畅。
