Cranberry is a personal task manager. (To-do list)
Cranberry is not a list – it is a web, mind-map, network, or graph.
Cranberry starts with dumping a list of all the things you want or have to do.
Then you link all the things together – this has to be done before that.
This is called a “Directed Acyclic Graph”
- Directed: links have a direction, implying “This comes before That”
- Acyclic: hopefully your to-do list doesn’t have any catch-22s in it.
- If it does, try constructing it as a spiral, with an item you can re-do correctly later.
- Graph: A collection of things, linked together.
Cranberry uses the analogy of a cranberry bog – a collection of intertwining and branching vines in a sunken field in which, when flooded, the fruit rise to the surface, and can be easily harvested.
When you click the “sluice gate” flood button, Cranberry hides the network of links you’ve created, and displays only those tasks that you can actually work on now.
