Jeremy, aka JaharmiI would really like to improve on my #PKM #PersonalKnowledgeManagement — especially in the realm of connecting notes and surfacing related topics. I'd also like to have a #TrustedSystem because I feel like I'm all over the place with taking notes and capturing links and organizing information in recent years.
I definitely want a solution that works on the #macOS #iOS #iPadOS platforms. (Having a #TUI #TextUserInterface is not necessarily important to me, but could be a bonus.) I’d like it to be open — if not #FOSS #OpenSource — and probably extensible, but I also want to be able to support its ongoing development.
Eric Biesterfeld@jaharmi I would check out Logseq. It’s FOSS, works in the Apple ecosystem, and you can use all sorts of options to sync other than the closed source option of their team. I support them but do not use their sync solution.
Obsidian is great but not FOSS.
The important thing is that you don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Start with something simple like PARA and adapt as you learn what you like and dislike. I do a lot with the daily format but not everyone likes it.
Jacob Sam-La Rose@jaharmi What are you currently using?
@jslr I generally take notes in text file windows in various editors. (The windows may or may not get saved to files, ahem #BBEdit.) I’ve been using #Logseq for a few months — enough to appreciate some of its linking and data management/query capabilities. I throw a bunch into @drafts. I’ve also used #Ulysses.
@jaharmi @drafts Plenty of apps make it somewhat easier to surface things— be that time-based (i.e. spaced repetition) or context based (tags, filters, linked/unlinked references, keyword search etc). Logseq's surely up there near the top of the list, also Obsidian, Tana, Capabilities, SiYuan...
Is there anything specific you're missing from Logseq? A clear sense of this might help steer you.
@jaharmi @drafts Personally, I do a lot with Drafts, Muse, MindNode and MarginNote. I've been flirting with adding Obsidian to my system for the longest while, but as much as I admire its featureset, I haven't yet been compelled to do the extra work to make it work for me.
If I wasn't already so invested in my current set-up, I'd probably be deciding between Obsidian and SiYuan, mainly because I'd be looking for something powerful and iPadOS local/native.
