English is not my native language. And I don't get if your comment is sarcasm)
My intention of using word "flawless" was to emphasize that one, being in the flow, can write thoughts not being interrupted by need to use mouse (shortcuts should help here).
Maybe I should use another word here... Could you please advise?
BTW are keyboard shortcuts considered as a "flaw"?
> impossible to tell how much information can be found underneath
"underneath" == "children" of card you going to click, isn't it? Yes, thank you. Didn't get this point from other comments (thought about "breadcrumb" navigation, facepalm.jpg). Thank you for emphasizing it. Got it. Nice example with books. I plan to add at least the number of children, but maybe will find other more elegant ways.

> I wanted to look up a piece of information that is hidden deep inside or if I wanted to reorganize my notes
Yes, good point. For sure there are different modes of thinking: when you write/brainstorm, read what you've got, and work with it/rearrange/edit. So I want to try and add separate modes of interaction to help with it. For sure "read mode" — compiled text (of current branch, or entire board, when watching from root).

> global navigation and a search tool
Yes. Search for sure, navigation between boards, clipboard to move stacks around.

> font-size dependent on the amount of text in a card.
This is a slippery road leading to messy/noisy situation. I tried this approach, not in this project, but earlier in my UX/UI career. I know what you mean — cards can (will) hold a lot of text. I plan to truncate text with ellipses. Will try to find some balanced solution. But yes. Good point.

> parent card/header(?) should be differentiated much more against its child cards
Hm. Interesting. Confusion means you had some expectations. Could you please share those first? What did you expect to see after reading "fractal thinking tool"?
Thank you, yes fractals rule the world (literally?). Seen Workflowy, didn't use it, but it looks rather easy to use. And final text is readable. It's important.
I plan to add view/export of board as a text, so it can be read as a whole.
Ha. Nice. Thank you. Never seen this one, but seen some other visual fractal notebook/s. Some, for sure, may find it (zooming map) more convenient and fun than navigating text. I, personally, don't feel it's web/screen friendly. Maybe for some VR it could work much better. Would be cool to try.
