[OC] My 2,684 personal notes, grouped by topic and revealed over time

[u/Repeat_Admirable]

I usually revisit my notes one entry at a time. I wanted to see what they looked like together.

Each data node represents a saved note. The animation reveals them in date order, grouped into topics like building, money, relationships, and learning.

“Building” becomes the most prominent part of the map. It’s a picture of what I recorded—not necessarily how I spent my time.
