Yes, it is the canvas plugin. It started in the forum: an then moved to Trello.

yes, that is concept map. LIke the one we have in Miro: https://miro.com/concept-map/
Quite interestingly, the developers in Obsidian are working on to develop sth similar to Miro or Scapple. I was d...
Discourse map!

I have been a big fan of Scapple for a long time. I sometimes try people to use it. But, I was having a hard time explaining why the maps in Scapple are different from the maps in Obsidian and other h...

Yes, that seems to work great for now because it reliefs our brain te...
Building a Second Brain

Thank you for mentioning the book here. I will going to check it out.
I don't want to be a bummer here. But, I really have very negative view of the idea of "de-stressing the brain". I have seen th...
Obsidian 1.0
10/26/2022
This method, unfortunately, has a drawback.
My idea was to make the markdown notes available across the three types of operating systems:
- MacOS
- Android
- IOs
- One way to ship them to IOs is ...

Finally, I find a format to make the absolute link visible to all the markdown aware apps:

I just realized that the problem is with the path rather than the format.
Obsidian doesn't like or understand the absolute path embedded into the the syntax itself.

Tinderbox used to be the sole note taking app with prototypes and inheritances (so far as I can tell). Who know when the Agent/ac...
@MadaboutDana
Thank you for the good points.
- It is nice that you like it. Yes, Notebooks views a number of file formats. But, I cannot edit them. That is a deal breaker for me. I just like it whe...
For anyone who has Keep it, I think Keep It is slightly better in some areas. The major downside of Notebooks for me was the lack of RTF support. The following is the comparison I did a while ago (po...

Apps for Scratchpads

Thank you Stephen; Tab Notes sounds interesting. But, I cannot try it because the developer doesn't seem to offer a trial.
And thanks for mry53 and satis for suggesting SnipNotes. I have read a lo...

Apps for Scratchpads

May I ask what was the source for the list above?
The thing is: I was comparing apps that are either free to use, or have some t...
Apps for Scratchpads
6/24/2022
I used to write scratches (things I am doing "right now"/logs) using my writing apps such as KeepIt/Curiota/DT etc.
The problem with that method is the scratchpad note gets lost in the jungle: and o...
New app, Bike

It appears to me that Bike is just a chunk of code from FoldingText. It is neither better nor faster than it. I was also amazed when I received the invitation..I see no reason to buy Bike, really.

KeepIt vs Notebooks vs FSnotes
5/16/2022
Thank you Bill. That is right.
Another great feature I forget is the tabbed separate window. I like opening two or three documents that I am working on in a separate window;and edit them without loo...
KeepIt vs Notebooks vs FSnotes

Creating a separate library (database) within DT just for notes would probably have solved my issues with the mess. That idea never came to me. I have just one database for everything.
