Trying to decide whether to use Folgezettel with my #Zettelkasten. I like how it creates a bottom-up order/structure within my files.

I was doing it, but recently switched to the VirtFolder plugin after watching @tris's recent video. It's great and accomplishes the same thing.

But I worry about relying on a plugin to make meaning out of my notes. 🤔

With the manual Folgezettel method, I found myself being too precious about my numbering convention -- I wanted to reserve "important" topics for early numbers.

I know that goes against the ethos of the method, yet I kept experiencing that feeling.

@ausrtho a very reasonable concern. The nice thing about using native linking is that anything that shows backlinks will ALSO show you all child notes, and you can navigate around the tree easy!

However, building the visualisation of that tree, will indeed require something. However, it's pretty reasonable to think that other tools can build the same tree, properties and links are universal - there's even another plugin, Breadcrumbs, that does this.

Also, virt-folder is open source! 🎉

@tris this is all true and great things to consider. I think I’ll keep with virt-folder for now. I also love how simple and easy it is to use.

Thanks again for the rec! It was a great video and I look forward to the next!
