TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021

I have tried to move to Obsidian / Roam / Mem but then quickly decided to continue with TheBrain. I have been using it since 1999 and the main brain file has 13600 thoughts.
Files are not imported - I just add them as a link. This approach does not increase the size of a brain file and the tool is fast and runs without any issues.

You can change this under Preferences (TheBrain 12): Options -> Preferences -> Behavior (tab) -> Content (section) -> At “On drag and drop files:” choose “Link to dropped files”.

Kind regards,
Dominik
