Suite of PIM Applications "PIM Suite"

The concept is like an office suite, (in that the applications are full featured and primarily offline). The applications revolve around expressing ideas in a personal capacity, rather than a professional one.


  • Brainstorm Speed-Mapper
    • a thorough, directed mind mapping application built specifically to prioritize the emergence of ideas' structure with the greatest possible speed - the shortest amount of delay from conception to expression.
    • enforcing hierarchical structure is off by default.
      • (key to this emergence)
      • (key to the more personal approach) 
      • (differentiates it from most mind-mapping applications)
  • Personal Wiki
    • built around the logical and fluid presentation of information to yourself
      • Your version of the world - your take on the world - your perspective and individuality.
    • creations range from scrapbook - to PIM - to logically structuring any and all visions of the Universe and everything ever
  • Lesson Presenter
    • Variation of presentation software (i.e. perhaps literally a reworking of something like LibreOffice Impress)
    • One person creates it while others operate it (versus presentation where the same person creates and operates it)
    • asynchronous (rather than built for a group meeting presentation)
    • for non-linear learning 
      • (users start from a home slide, and move back and forth, drilling into various topics.)
      • (more like a web page)
    • nested/embedded
      • slideshows
      • audio
      • video
    • 2d menus
    • 3d widget menus
    • .pptx format as well as a compression format that packages all related offline content in a single playable file

Application Interoperability

  • Brainstormer can produce
    •  an outline for a paper
    • menu structure for the wiki
  • Lesson presenter can produce .pptx files, compatible with standard presenters simply by opting out of extra feature-set.
  • Wiki can produce
    • mind map
    • lesson structure for presenter
    • menu structure for wiki
    • easy meta data from wiki tables and custom fields etc. 
  • Secondarily, the applications can produce web-based exports
