If you use directory opus, pretty sure this fits your description. The data is stored in the filenames. So for example you can have a file named "abc (category=cat1, duedate=20220101).docx" the file w...
How many tags?
10/29/2020
For me a good rule is, whenever I feel like creating a tag, do a thought experiment: imagine at some future point I want to locate what I'm writing right now, and imagine I know I haven't assigned any...
You can put a local file in an excel cell. And if it's an office file, you even get a thumbnail and updates live with the content of the file!

(The)BrainDead? (Hopefully not yet)
10/27/2020
Daly, I have checked out both, and tried using Roam for several weeks. Eventually, though, I went back to my old arrangement (Scapple + GoogleDoc + TB). The reason is mostly personal: I just find plai...

> The only drawback with Obsidian is that it's only available on Windows
I do believe that it's available for other platforms? On their homepage (https://obsidian.md/) it says "Also available for mac...

I do agree it's huge shame Expanded View was dropped.
A graph(-style) database, without something like subgraphs, that can also remember the positions of the nodes, quickly become unmanageable.
I'v...
Docxmanager, looks nice

1. I can confirm Edwin has been super responsive to user feedback. I have recently corresponded with him about an issue re: dragging the splitter and he fixed it within a matter of hours.
2. Also, ma...
There's a help page which gives a is buried rather deep in the keyboard shortcuts panel.

Wow, this is quite nice.

Evernote's new editor

Hi Alexander, yes plain text file. For sync between laptop and phone, I use Google Drive + an app called Drive Sync, although there are probably superior self-hosted approaches.
The files are mostly ...
Evernote's new editor
10/24/2019
I've always had the same problem. Didn't find any app that can preserve Evernote's highlight for example. Many (e.g. Notion) can't even preserve underline.
A lot of times these formatting information...
"outliner mode" file manager
9/13/2019
I wanted the same thing! And requested this feature on dopus forum

Not sure if they are gonna implement it though. But I did menti...
I have something I call 'context' that I find very useful but I gather it's not the same thing discussed here
It's basically 'geotags' for your notes, which in my own cases are almost exclusively tra...
Connected Text may not be dead yet!

The one thing I most want from CT is better, fuzzier autocomplete.
For one thing, it should default to substring search. As it currently stands, unless you remember the exact words a topic's name beg...
TheBrain vs Evernote vs Personal Wiki
10/4/2018
Although I'm an avid TheBrain user, I'm starting to look into two alternative possibilities.
Both methods are somewhat hacky, and during the initial stages I expect I will at some point feel like I'm...
