![]() Yes, I switched to TiddlyWiki a year ago, and haven't regretted it. ![]() MarginNote is in the market of PDF readers-for-study, but it has pretty well integrated study mind-map concept and I found it working much better for me than one global "second brain" with notes. MarginNote3 – speaking of a second brain, after trying most of the apps discussed here, I relaized that most of my knowledge lately comes from publshed papers and I need to somehow organize them, search, link and structure highlights, often across multiple documents. I use Drafts daily for basically everything (even writing this comment in Drafts (will copy it into NH once finished) :) I relaized that most of the "notes" or texts become either obsolete or abandoned (Draft removes them after 30 days, I think) and the task of "oh where do I put this in my knowledge tree or folder" becomes a burden. Drafts - super fast native MacOS app that just lets you start writing text and care about "where to put it" later. The next thing I wish logseq would do is allow you to double click to explode paragraphs and temporarily separate sentences into bullets for processing and reorganizing.Īs this thread is mostly about alternatives and reflecting why they work or not, my 2 cents and 2 apps: So when I saw some of logseq in action it was an "omg this looks even better than Word's outline mode" sort of thing. ![]() I loved abusing Word's outline mode for rough drafts and restructuring and refactoring text and have been trying to explain the missing functionality to /LibreOffice for over a decade ("we have outline mode you just click the thing" "no it's not about creating an outline of document structure" "hey we improved outline check it out see if it looks better" loops). I'm one of the people who used to write on index cards and then compose by rearranging them on my bed. Of note: My mode of writing is to collect/generate messes of ideas and then clean them up and organize them iteratively to create structure and polish. How the hell did she do that?" which is a good way to learn the tool, but can be frustrating. wait, you can do that? I want to do that. The video that helped me get a vision of ways I can use it was This is nitpicking but I wish there were more videos of people just using PKM systems without all the talking about philosophy of note taking etc. I actually didn't figure out what it can do and how it can be used until I watched a few youtube videos watching other people actually use it and then it clicked. A this point, though, I'm sort of stuck with these two. Wish I could find a way to make a reading experience as pleasant as Obsidian, and the writing experience that's as engaging as Logseq. I just never got used to the workflow of jumping through links and reading blocks that look hastily patched up together. The problem is I hardly ever got back to re-reading my notes. The app got me to dump my brain very quickly writing notes actually became quite addicting. I tried out Logseq later on, and the experience was the complete opposite. It's just not that different from writing notes in your go-to text editor, and if VSCode couldn't make me write more notes, then neither would Obsidian. But then I realized that it didn't really get me to write more notes, and it now acts more like a catalogue for things that I found online. Among all of the apps I tried, it probably has the best reading experience, especially for long-form writings. The text editor-like, but not quite a text editor experience seemed like the sweet spot for me. I ended up with a setup of alternating between Obsidian and Logseq, just like the OP at one point. Like (almost) everyone here, I've gone through a lot of note-taking apps in the market.
