Today I got some time to play with #anytype Links are confusing and tables far from perfect. Nonetheless considering that this is 0.xx.x release - wild ride in a part of that game. Even though, it’s already really good piece of software.

Custom.css are giving room to “be part of”

Their community is also very active.

Tip of the day: Over the years, we have had many people migrate to #DEVONthink for one reason or another. One application people have switched from is Evernote. If you are considering making such a move, here is how to switch and what to expect. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #thirdparties #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230503-switch-from-evernote

Where do you draw the line for only using #foss apps? I really want to use #Obsidian for markdown notes that can sync with iPhone but want a FOSS alternative. None of them meet all my requirements though sadly.

Tip of the day: When it comes to creating documents with images in #DEVONthink, the file format matters. For rich text and formatted notes, the data is embedded in the file, what can cause the documents to become overly large. Our utility ThumbsUp can help you resize images. #freeware #notetaking #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231219-resize-images

I’ve been logging everything I do in a personal CHANGELOG.md in @obsidian since January, and I absolutely love it.

Every day I add something to the list, and it makes me feel like I'm achieving something. This is an important part of recovering from feelings of inadequacy and workaholic tendencies.

Hi fellow Fedi-ppl! Are you taking notes? How? Phone or laptop or paper? I'm used to aple notes - yes shame on me. But was looking into #obsidian but w/o sync and that failed. Now playing with #anytype and default sync is really cool. Export to markdown as well great feature from them.

Some thoughts on #reading and #NoteTaking and essaying:

Tip of the day: Annotations are text documents in #DEVONthink that are attached to another document, for example a #PDF. They are a simple but powerful tool for making notes about a document and can therefore be used for everything from research to schoolwork to journaling and more. Here’s an introduction, or a refresher. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20221129-annotations-in-devonthink

Do you use DEVONthink for writing text or taking notes? DEVONthink 4 has some settings that affect the appearance of your text to make editing text a little more comfortable. #devonthink #devonthink4 #markdown #notetaking https://buff.ly/zvkfEcL

Only because I couldn't find one that worked the way I wanted it to, I wrote Yet Another Note Making App. Entirely CLI. It may work for you too.

#win and #linux only for now (all I can test); would love feedback even if that feedback is "Don't quit your dayjob, your code is terrible." #dqydj

Ich bin echt begeistert von #anytype zur Vorbereitung und Strukturierung einer Kampagne. Backlinks sind so einfach einzufügen wie ich es noch nicht kannte. Templates sind easy zu erstellen, alles lässt sich sehr einfach erfassen. Dazu kommt nich die generell sehr einfache Handhabung.
Bonuspunkte: zumindest zum Teil Open Source, local- first, option zum selfhosten, wer #Notion kennt, findet sich bestens zurecht
Punktabzug: Beta-Status, nicht voll Open-Source, wer Notion nicht kennt muss sich einarbeiten

@joplinapp
Whilst I thank for the numerous good work you've done - is there any plan to implement a keyboard shortcut to switch between markdown editor and rich text editor? (Not the ctrl L to switch between preview and you panels)

Any discussion I've found, old or new, are simply "you are out of luck".

There are many cases where a document works better in a specific editor mode.

From @jtr's lovely post:

"Journalley blows this mental challenge away. It invites me to take notes and just notes. It’s the opposite of a chore. “Go ahead,” it winks at me, “spill the beans. Snap some pictures. We’ll work on the details later.” Suddenly, I’m free to let my mind go."

The different kinds of notes by Baldur Bjarnason [Shared]

The post where I outline my general theory of notetaking for all to disagree with

At the end of my last post, I mentioned that I had switched to pen and paper notetaking in the early 2010s, after years of serious digital notetaking using plain text files.

I wrote about how much more enjoyable the analogue notetaking was but what I didn’t mention was why I abandoned my plain text system. Nor did I write about my first foray into serious notetaking.
