Decided to journal, oh ok there's RedNoteBook, then I was told about Obsidian and now I've gone and spent a whole day being evangelicised by culty people about how they've translated their entire lives into notes about writing notes about making blog posts about Zettelkastens and MOCs.
That said, it is pretty cool and I'm excited to litter a database with nothing useful until it bursts at the seams and I have to start over.

Joplin does everything that I need as far as notetaking/personal knowledge base is concerned... I've looked at Obsidian but haven't found a compelling reason to switch yet 路 2 weeks ago
lol yeah no kidding. I guess if it works for them, it's really working. a lot of them look really interesting, but also like you have to go all-in in order to make it work. When I journal, it's in an actual journal. and sometimes a vim file called "journal" keep it simple. 路 2 weeks ago
@virtueisdead honestly, shrug. I've pretty much settled on "tags are useless, links are better tags" and then just make everything in one folder, excepting journal and specific projects.
no idea if it'll stick, but I'm certainly not expecting much more than just a nice interconnected journaling tool. gift ideas and phone numbers and whatnot. not building a worse version of wikipedia like some people seem to do, hah. 路 2 weeks ago
