About
It includes backlinks — where linking to a post will show a backlink on that post — which is a common feature of #tools-for-thought (TFT).
To make it even better, we’d like to use a [[wikilinks]] double bracket syntax to link to new and existing pages.
## User Impact

Use a format and feature familiar from TFT systems to be able to use Discourse as an interlinked digital garden of notes.
TFT systems today have weak multi player systems, and also don’t have the concept of comments / discussions as separate from long form content. Using Discourse brings in multiplayer and commenting, @-mentions, and more.
