I might give this a spin some time. I've found the technique useful in
the last couple of years and have tried software (a free older version
of a commercial product - can't recall the name) in the past. However, I
found that I preferred the visceral feel of pencil scratching on paper,
even if it does result in a scrappier end product.

However, this OSS one looks to have several features that I missed on
the one I tried (like linking several thoughts together in a cloud or
running lines across the page) so maybe I'll give it a try. I love the
freedom of being able to try out software easily - some of it goes by
the wayside very quickly but I've come across some items that I find
very valuable. My current favourite in the "little known" category is
Tuxcards, a desktop note organiser:
