> For anyone who thinks infinitely nested lists sounds like a good way to organize things [...] I recommend

And for anyone who thinks hierarchies are an "OMG, you're joking, right?!?" inadequate way to organize thinking... :)

... any recommendations for an Org-ish app with good support for non-hierarchical full graphs, with flexible link and node types?

Writing one is on my todo list, for project management of long-term opportunistic projects, in VR, but in the meantime...



I would look at org-brain: https://github.com/Kungsgeten/org-brain

I think this is also what Emacs-Muse is supposed to do, but I have never understood that program.

Looks more like a publishing (markdown/pandoc) solution. Abandoned 2010 as folks moved to Org.

Hierarchy plus one additional link type. Org-mode integration. "One node and neighbors" presentation.

I'm struck again by how much code is about to be rewritten for VR/AR. If anyone has a programming language they wish to mainstream, here comes an opportunity to ride a selective sweep. :)
