I think this trend of better knowledge tools is missing two very important pieces of human natureġ. It might help if there were some examples or ideas of categories, that could be copied and adapted. I had difficulty coming up with a sensible structure of categories - in fact, the "root" project where I'm moving my existing notes to, the foundation is still not stabilized, deciding where everything should go. I like that you have a page for such workflows from the terminal:įor feedback, one thing comes to mind that could help beginners like me, would be examples on the site, like downloadable template(s) of common project organization.
ZETTLR ANDROID CODE
I live in the terminal (and code editor), so having such shortcuts, usually of 1~3 characters, makes note-taking a natural, effortless step. I'm now thinking of adapting them to the decimal system, so I can, for example, list all categories in an area, or add note to a category. Like, I have a big nested folder of notes spanning years, and migrating them to a newly started decimal system, it's giving all notes a canonical place, with a defined schema/model/taxonomy.Īs I wrote in the parent comment, I have a few aliases for shell commands, like find by file/folder name, grep to search notes, a shortcut to add a note. Interestingly, I felt that the system builds on how people already keep folders and notes in ad-hoc categories - and giving it a few organizational concepts to standardize the structure. I like that it has no dependencies on service/platform or language, it's generic in the best sense of the term.Īs I was reading, I immediately started creating a folder structure, and took notes (in area "00 System" :). I found your system brilliant, how simple you kept it, with consistent, easy-to-remember rules. I recently learned about the Johnny Decimal System, while doing some "research" following links on Zettelkasten and other systems. The personal computer, as an augmentation of the human intellect, has creative potential yet to be explored.Įdit: A recent one I found delightful is the Johnny Decimal System. In some ways I think the past decade took a step forward and a couple steps back. Since the days of index cards, through Vannevar Bush's Memex, Ted Nelson's Xanadu, Englebart's mother of all demos, HyperCard. I love seeing new systems, open-source projects, applications, SaaS (though not as much) taking on this problem space. I also join the chorus, that we ought to welcome more exploration in the area of knowledge management. Not necessary, but I like having a "personal dashboard" of sorts, with calendar and whatever feature/widgets I want to add. I have a few aliases defined for quickly adding new single-line notes, current date/time, paste a link and title, etc.Īs a higher-level interface, I wrote a little React app / Node.js server that renders the Markdown files, with hot reload on changes. In the terminal, `find` and `grep` are perfect for searching notes.
My text editor, also VS Code, has extensions for Markdown live preview, to-do lists, and other conveniences - everything I need to manage the "knowledge database". Some folders are prefixed with YYYY or YYYY-MM, when needed. I'm in the same camp, all my notes are in Markdown files, organized as a tree of folders.
