Cool research! I went to the repo to see what the DSL looked like but it was hard to find a clear example. It would be cool if you added a snippet to the README.

Hi all, I built this as part of my fellowship research — it’s a tiny tool called Prune
The idea is simple: you start with a single sentence (a claim, assumption, or half-formed thought). Prune asks a gentle question, then offers branching rewrites. You prune, merge, or refine, and bit by bit your sentence gets sharper.
It’s closer to a journaling tool than a productivity app — but I’ve found it surprisingly good for surfacing hidden assumptions and clarifying ideas I thought were obvious.
Would love feedback on: - When it feels useful vs. when it falls flat - Features that would make it more than a toy - Whether you’d see yourself using this for work/thinking
Live demo here: https://www.prune.quest

Good question! It's fairly easy to implement and also it "tends to elect broadly-acceptable options or candidates (rather than consistently following the preferences of a majority)" (wikipedia) But I'd like to add other ranking methods in the future

No, you can’t upload an image- it’s just via prompt. SnapDiagram looks really useful!

I can't fathom how much that domain must have cost

Interesting! In the future I may try to build a framework-agnostic version. HTML-only would be pretty cool. Thanks for trying it out.

I'm starved for some feedback over here. Would you use this?
