Relatively new project based on quickly skimming through their source and I want to do a deep dive later, but this looks super promising to us note-taking fanatics!
I use Obsidian at work and Joplin at home, but I'm always on the lookout for new note-taking apps.
And yes, this obsession with checking note-taking apps is a form of productive procrastination. I can't stop.
HelixNotes is completely free, open source, with no bloat. Your notes should be yours.
So we made sure they are. http://helixnotes.com

Ben JeapesSo, AI: not to be used for creative writing under any circumstances, but okay for things like note taking. Right? Well ... #ai #creativity #notetaking https://unitedghostwriters.co.uk/to-err-is-not-just-human/
There is a public book inside Locus Communis: a shared shelf where you can read what others have saved, bookmark the lines you love, and submit your own. A slow, quiet feed of good writing.
Come read and add to it: https://locuscommunis.com/signup

CTNETSomething interesting happens as a Zettelkasten matures: some notes end up linked from everywhere, and you start to see where your thinking actually clusters.
What's your unexpected hub note - the one you didn't plan on, but keeps showing up? I've been exploring this: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/zettelkasten-hub-notes/
GlennBoosting this. A very nice method for taking notes, if one is inclined to be a note-taker. 🙂
