General / Word Tree

Download for Obsidian

Word Tree is an Obsidian plugin which renders a note as an interactive word tree. Pick a word and every sentence containing it fans out to the right, shared continuations merging into branches. The more often a phrase recurs, the thicker its branch grows.

Writing has habits which are hard to see from inside of it. A word tree makes them visible: the words you lean on, the turns a thought keeps taking. Click a branch to follow a phrase. Reverse the tree to see what leads up to a word instead of what follows it.

A port of Jason Davies’ word tree, after the technique of Wattenberg and Viégas.
