I teach courses on philosophy, political economy, and racism at a small university in Chicago. I have obsessively researched PKM methods and apps since 2018. If PKM is your thing, consider checking out my website: fpnotes.io

HEPTABASE just released much-anticipated right-sidebar features that users of Roam Research, Logseq, and Tana have had for quite some time, including the ability to STACK MULTIPLE ITEMS in the sidebar.

Heptabase vs Logseq - working with PDF highlights
Just released a new video that provides a glimpse of how I have been using HEPTABASE for research. Check it out if you're interested: https://tinyurl.com/49w9jfy7
How I'm using Heptabase for research (so far)
In the following video, I show what it looks like when I * create in Heptabase what many would call a "permanent note" (I call such a note a "claim page" or "idea card") * extract highlights from a PDF and arrange them in groups Want to try out Heptabase? Consider using

Two problems with Obsidian that HEPTABASE has helped me solve
Obsidian --> Heptabase: I decided a few weeks ago to try out HEPTABASE.
Doing so made me confront two problems I was having with OBSIDIAN (which I still love).
Here's a piece I just wrote on this subject, in case you're curious: https://www.fpnotes.io/im-trying-out-heptabase-and-maybe-kind-of-abandoning-obsidian/

TITLE: Three information-organizing approaches I do not use
I went dark for almost two months. Today I finally got around to posting my latest video: "Zettelkasten (for INTERMEDIATE users of Obsidian only!)." It's about the importance of coming up with research questions to "channel your current of ideas" (John Dewey, HOW WE THINK). I also showcase my current Obsidian set-up.
