Emanate a structured view of your plain-text notes - srid/emanote

Directly write Anki notes in tiddlywiki entries, very clever. Combines the thought with information on retain/recall.

Note-taking in tree-like structures (reminds me a tiny bit of things like workflowy).

One neat thing is that it has the concept of 'global' and 'local' trees: you have one global tree on your machine (usually central place for any notes you want to add, that you can call up from wherever, a little like a wiki index or similar).

Then you can have many local trees that just live in cwd under .mind - perfect for e.g. keeping track of a project's todos (i.e. little code projects for example)

Set it up to read from a directory of markdown files and you will have a nicely designed, fully text-searchable personal knowledge base accessible over the web

karlicoss of the data liberation project HPI explains how to best store and access data moved from various points in the cloud/web/internet to your drives and why databases might not always be the best choice.

TLDR.
Save your grabbed data without any manipulation.
Let the manipulation happen every time you access/interpret the data.
If you have slices of data (mostly time frames), don't try to merge them on disk but save as extra files and merge on access/interpretation as well.
You can make use of databases for access caching since the last points generate some overhead for each access.

Interesting reference-manager-like application (i.e. "integrated reading environment").

Interesting features:

• incremental reading (showing & remembering progress per article, allowing bookmarking automation)
• annotation sidebar (automatic creation of color-coded annotation overview, a-la Adobe Reader)
• anki card sync (allows creation of cards directly from annotations and sync to anki, with back reference to annotation context)

An interesting zettelkasten approach that strives to be editor-agnostic, plain-text, and adaptible.

Its main draw seems to be the automatic creation of a zettel heteronomy, html publication, and extensive plugin possibilities.

Cross-platform desktop note-taking app. Sticky notes with Markdown and Tabs. All in one .txt file.

Interesting application of txt files to be shown in 'corkboard' view.
Unfortunately packaged as electron app, making ~100kb of actual code into ~200mb of program.

The idea could be used however, for a re-arrangeable corkboard / network view of my personal notes.

Extensive description of concepts and uses of org-mode.

I don't use org-mode personally (the syntax falls just into the uncanny valley of markdown-like) but this covers concepts as well as uses, so might be useful outside a strict org-context as well.

Roam has a learning curve, but after a few weeks of playing with it I already love it much more than Evernote and Notion. Here's why, and how I'm using it.
