We selected two generalized note-storage programs to review for this assignment in analyzing interaction models, StickyBrain and TopXNotes.
StickyBrain
(notes, diagram) was:
- Generally exploratory
- Space oriented (objects? tools? tasks?)
- Weak modality
- Generalized
- Novice users
- Lean forward (with some lean back)
- Context unaware
TopXNotes
(notes, diagram, alternate view) was:
- Somewhat directed
- Object oriented (less rich object)
- Moderate modality
- Somewhat specialized
- Novice users
- Lean forward
- Context unaware
