@jeremycherfas@kyle@mikehoss you have some systems of tracking some sort of personal knowledge base right? I am just starting my own plaintext knowledge base and want to remember what you all do.
@mikehoss@33MHz@jeremycherfas@kyle I have switched to Obsidian from nvAlt. Mac app is good and there are so many plugins you can hammer it in to any shape you like. Mine’s mostly a learning/professional database of notes (better organised than in nvAlt)
@33MHz Late to the party, and not an Obsidian user. I use The Archive [zettelkasten.de] for most of my notes and writing. Simpler than Obsidian, but many of the same advantages (no iOS, but anything can read the MD files, which I store in DropBox).
@jeremycherfas@mikehoss@kyle thanks guys! This is helpful. To me it's probably about habit/process as much as anything, so it'll take me a while to settle into something. So right now I just have a couple files, but I'll need to do something as it grows.
@33MHz I know there are spaced repetition plugins/modules for Obsidian. At least, I think there are. I'm sure you script something for any set of text files.
To me, given plaintext, much more important is how you organise and link the notes, which is software agnostic. I'm most keeping notes to write things, but some technical too, and they require slightly different systems.
