Did Remnote Just Leapfrog Tana?
2/24/2026
Well it's 2026 and I continue to double down on RemNote. It just got yet another solid update. Most the updates are performance, it's very mature at this point.
It still hits that sweet spot fo...
RemNote checks all these boxes. It's built for academic learning with very good PDF integration.
It doesn't have a formal task manager built-in but it's got full table/metadata tagging capabilit...
I second Lucas here. I also went through this dilemma at work where I couldn't use my preferred Obsidian or Logseq. I don't know why RemNote doesn't get more recognition. It's fantastic. Maybe the...
Outliners indexing external links

This topic always makes me take another look at https://www.tagspaces.org/.
It's a different approach that is text-based metadata files alongside your files to be able to have stable tags, links, and...

Roam v. Obsidian
4/1/2022
I know Conor has been a polarizing figure for many but oddly enough he's the one of the reasons reason I've been sticking with Roam. I appreciate his quirkiness and transparency and being human in pu...
Agreed, Roam didn't come up with a new idea. Just helped popularize it. I'm so relieved that after all these years transclusion and backlinking are finally considered a necessary feature for PKM sof...
Agreed, I was excited to try their demo and it's been a while but Roam has really spoiled me. Workflowy feels limiting in comparison.

I like 'mirrors' as a term for this. A list of synonyms:
For transcluding 'in-line' content:
Work Flowy = Mirrors
Roam Research/Obsidian = Block Reference

Evernote reinventing itself
9/25/2020
So Evernote is doing what Microsoft has been doing with One Note for the past 8 years or so by dumbing it down to be universal across all screens?
Unfortunate. Though I guess they have no choice. ...

The future of OneNote

I'm not sure how to feel about this as I've been forcing myself to use the UWP version for about a year knowing that the old desktop one was being mothballed. It is tempting to switch back as there ...
I appreciate this comment and like when developers give thoughts on different approaches. I very much like that you put put a lot of weight into two-way linking where that is one of the most often ig...

Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
10/7/2019
I like this description a lot but have always had trouble getting into the WorkFlowy/Dynalist way of doing things. Does anyone know of a good blog post describing a thorough Dynalist use case? Kind ...
