Compendium Alternatives

Compendium

Compendium is a software tool providing a flexible visual interface for managing the connections between information and ideas.

Many people use Compendium to manage their personal digital information resources, since you can drag+drop in any document, website, email, image, etc, organise them visually, and then connect ideas, arguments and decisions to these. Compendium thus becomes the glue that allows you to pool and make sense of disparate material that would otherwise remain fragmented in different software applications. You can assign your own keyword tags to these elements (icons), create your own palettes of icons that have special meanings, overlay maps on top of background images, and place/edit a given icon in many different places at once: things dont always fit neatly into just one box in real life.
