Made a lightweight visual grid view for Denote in Emacs that works with denote-dired. Every denote file has a thumbnail including videos and pdfs.

It has a neat cluster mode to group linked notes sidee by side. You can easily query with tags or strings inside grid view.

I tried to keep it as minimal as possible. For scalability we can rely on denote-dired mechanism to filter what we need and jump to grid from there. Arrow keys are snappy, mouse scrolling is not great. Hope someone finds it useful !

It turns your denote directory into a draggable, resizable canvas of images, PDFs, videos, and notes in your browser.

Cluster view groups linked notes together, keyword view groups by tag, feed view is a chronological timeline, and grid lays everything out at once. It can also quickly filter/query by keyword.

It can be useful for moodboards, presentations, storyboards, references, a desktop for your zettelkasten or just as a personal garden.

Everything is read-only except card positions, it never touches your actual notes.

I prioritized scalability and performance mostly, but I am not sure if it's gonna scale well. If anyone's willing to stress test it over 2k notes, I'd really appreciate the feedback.
