My guide for new users of Logseq
8/16/2022
Nice one! I confess I find LogSeq intriguing but baffling – your primer should be very helpful!

Absolutely. I enjoy the thought processes, but I object to what appears to be a compulsive need to attack developers and contributors based on very generalised premises.
There's more than enough unp...

UpNote adds collapsible sections
8/2/2022
What UpNote does have, which I wish other apps also had, is an outstandingly well-designed right-hand sidebar, where you can see all key document information (including ToC, backlinks, wordcount/chara...

No tolerance required – you regularly contribute really interesting stuff, which is the main requirement for a forum, at least as I see it?

Heh heh, I think it's probably a philosophical thing. Fundamentally Nietzschean, when you think about it (right down to the lengthy rants about how useless everyone else's contributions are).

You're right – it doesn't.
Although I use systems that do (NotePlan, Craft), I have to say that I'm not a great fan of auto-generated daily notes, especially when the app "assumes" you wan...
It is difficult to decide on the merits of Keep It vs Notebooks, @Dellu – I confess I use both for different reasons.
I'd just point out, however, that Notebooks *does* have folders, altho...
I've just discovered a really neat feature in Notebooks – at least, I wasn't previously aware of it.
In markdown notes, apart from being able to create standard wikilinks (using double bra...

A very nice summary, Paul: totally agree. Yes, it's those moments of truly human interaction that remain embedded in the memory. In one of my earliest jobs, I remember regularly observing one of the m...
Heh heh heh – that's what I was trying to do with NotePlan for quite a long time, before crawling back on hands and knees.
Now I'm playing with backlinks in Notebooks – they wor...

Just to confirm that Zhenyi says exporting data is on the roadmap. Hurrah!

Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
7/22/2022
Now that is a really good question – funnily enough, I'd asked myself exactly the same thing before reading yours!
The short answer is: no.
So now I'm going to have to find out how to dis...

All good points, Franz, but not quite the same thing as being able to watch an actual person in action, talking on the phone (not, of course, such a frequent occurrence nowadays!), cajoling suppliers,...

I've been reflecting on this whole Working From Home thing (in principle, a CRIMPer's dream!), and after, yet again, having had to untangle yet another appalling administrative mess perpetrated by one...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!

Piqued by your question and with my interest now aroused, I had a root around in History Book to find out exactly how much data it has been saving over the past couple of months (I've been using it si...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
7/22/2022
I agree, it's the key question, and one I carefully asked myself before switching History Book on. I save a lot of web pages to specific repositories anyway, in the course of my daily research, so did...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!

Sorry, @tberni – History Book's available via the Mac App Store, in fact, and is also available for iOS/iPadOS (I use iCloud to synchronise between my MacBooks and my iPad).

Interesting – I haven't checked out Freeplane for a while – time to CRIMP!

It's also worth noting that a growing number of outliners (okay, okay, Obsidian, Roam, LogSeq, Effie, Taskade, various versions of TiddlyWiki...) offer multiple views including idea maps AND outlines....

Yes, that's an interesting point. That's why we all mourn the passing of Tree Outliner (although Dashword is trying hard to replace it on macOS and Windows).

That's a question, Simon, which only you can answer. Would Craft be a good fit for your way of working, is the nub of it. And since none of us knows how you work or what processes you use, it's imposs...
