I wasn’t the only one going in this direction there are FoamBubble and Dendron projects that customise VS Code for note-taking. VS Code is a text editor for developers, so using it comes naturally to me. It supports linking out of the box, and there are countless available tools to write and process it. It makes it easier to read the note even though you are constantly in edit mode.Īfter a month or two, I started longing for a universal format because WikiLinks needed custom software to resolve them ( I came into terms with WikiLinks later). Zettlr also automatically renders the markdown you are writing. It is an open-source note-taking app that heavily relies on WikiLinks ( ] ) to create links between files. Even if the original author stops maintaining it, the tool has a chance to live on. Open-source - If I can help it at all, the tool should be open-source.I don’t want to write a text note and then run a command to render my notes as web page). Easy to write - Creating new notes shouldn’t be unnecessarily complex (e.g.Easy to read - Reading experience is more important than writing because you’ll be reading the note many times in the future.Links - The tool has to support creating links between files as references to other notes.This disqualified cloud-based apps like Evernote, Notion, or even TidlyWiki. Local plain text - It had to store the notes locally in plain text (Markdown), so I can version them with git.Once I understood the Slip-box method, I had a clear idea about the requirements for the tool (ordered by priority): You can start where I finished (Logseq) and be completely content with the solution the same I am now. If you are like me, you’ll spend a lot of time looking for the perfect tool at the expense of more productive activities like reading and learning. Now let’s talk about how do I create and store my notes? I’ll walk you through the tools I tried (the cool part) and the process I use for taking my notes. Does this piece of information conflict with my previous understanding?Īnswering these questions takes a lot of time, but it pays off in the quality of your understanding and the ease of reading. ![]()
