[Document to Hyperlink](https://aglab.neocities.org/document-to-hyperlink) is a personal wiki that runs in a web browser. If [Document to Document](https://aglab.neocities.org/document-to-document) introduced writing with Markdown, and [Document to Slides](https://aglab.neocities.org/document-to-slides) extended documents into slides, it is now time to connect documents to one another.

It is a tool that extends writing into information, information into relationships, and relationships into structure. It is simple to use. Put the title of a document you want to connect to inside double square brackets (`[[]]`), `[[like this]]`, and a hyperlink to that document is created automatically. Connected documents are visualized as nodes on the right. Just as countless thoughts connect in your mind, documents become a map of thought. Documents, and thoughts, connect. That is all.

## Documents Become Hyperlinks

The origins of the hyperlink go back to the memex, an imaginary machine proposed by Vannevar Bush in *As We May Think* in 1945. He observed that people remember information through connections rather than sequences. Contemporary personal wiki tools include Roam Research, Obsidian, and TiddlyWiki, but *Document to Hyperlink* could be called an AG Lab experiment that distills this development into its simplest form.

A hyperlink is more than a function for clicking. It is a way of passing information onward and a structure that moves thought. Thanks to hyperlinks, we wander the web as we read it and form relationships as we write documents. *Document to Hyperlink* brings this active connecting to personal documents.

*Document to Hyperlink* is a thinking tool rather than a notepad. Without setting up a wiki on a server, and without Notion or Obsidian, you can cultivate an ecosystem of your own thoughts in a web browser alone. *Document to Hyperlink* is the lightest starting point for making a personal wiki. Move beyond “piling up” documents and toward “interweaving” them. When documents refer to one another, they are no longer alone. We hope *Document to Hyperlink* can add structure to your thoughts, rhythm to that structure, and renewed inspiration to that rhythm.
