A detective board inspired by https://github.com/Fungeey/detectiveboard.

I was looking for one on the internet.

The mentioned one is great, and I love the features. It uses node however, is a bit heavy and has dependencies. I am afraid of node after all the security incidents we had recently.

This one is just JS + HTML on one page. No tracking, no cookies, no data send over the internet.

Why might I (and you) need a detective board?

Let me quote the README:

"For me it is a simple way of wandering around thoughts that are naturally interconnected, but appear in a sequential fashion.

A detective board appears to give you a way of layering though upon thought, grouping them, reflecting on them as they are layed and layered out before you without vanishing and fleeting into each other and then working with the grouped and reflected whole.

I find it immensely useful for learning, analyzing, explaining, structuring problems and a lot of other related mental activities.

The option to use images is additionally helpful for me, as I can barely see anything with imagination (I am largely an aphantast). So I can keep visual clues next to my discursive thoughts."

Features:

- Double-click to create a note.

- Right-click and drag to connect pins with threads.

- Paste images with Ctrl + V.

- Scroll to zoom.

- Ctrl + Click to delete.

Save / Load buttons for persistence.

Try it here in Github pages: https://stefankober.github.io/detective-board/
