>solves note takingsay "thank you, obsidian"
Closed source malware.
>>109168156Note taking was solved long time ago by pen and paper. That way u actually remember something instead of coping with virtual brains for retards
>>109168156Thanks, Notepad.
>>109168175Note taking was solved a logn time ago by stone tablets, doesn't mean we shouldn't use the most efficient method available
bloatware
>>109168156pen and paper is still the goat. I dont have time to find this program and open it.
>>109168165How, exactly, is it malware? All the files are in plain text.
Note taking was solved a long time ago by using your brain.say "thank you, long-term memory"
>>109168156Imagine installing an app to take simple notes. I just type my notes into Google or the search bar and bookmark it. It's really that simple.
logseq > obsidian
>>109168156Forces you to make a vault before you can even view a markdown file. Then nudges you to keep your vault on their premium cloud.Fuck that shit, I'm using ghostwriter if anyone has better tell me I'm willing to try
i use a pen and paper most of the timeif i need it on my computah, i just write a .txt filei dont see whats wrong with this

>>109168648Proprietary software = malwareSimple as
Why does every thread about note taking software always get flooded by retards who think that the only reason to take notes is to remember things?
>>109168165FPBP
>>109168156show your notes then, faggot
>>109168648>needs some proprietary software to manage plain text>not using a simple text editorWhy are people this retarded.
>>109168156Bloated piece of shit, just use nvim + markdown + vimwiki
>>109169388>use this outdated software with no mouse capabilities
>>109169477>outdatedIt's not obsolete, it's lindy
>>109168992Ok richard. >>109169129They cannot imagine a usecase. You got to feel sorry for them really

>>109168156>note taking app that uses markdown… why would I use this over vs code / whatever snowflake code editor (you) use?
Thank u vim/neovim.
>>109168156I have a notebook and a nice pen, no thanks
>>109168156There's also Helix Notes, from the last thread.Not as bloated as obsidian but gets the job done.They just have to fix a few kinks and it's gonna be a great alternative.
>>109168165Fpbp fuck obsidian, trash software
Used Evernote forever, then they became excessively Jewish, so I tried a lotta slop. migrated my shit to picrel in the end. It's yhe closest I found to Evernote, but I lost image support. Hurts.In reality I use freaking Google Keep almost every single day.FML
wish there was a way to embed files in markdown files so a file with 50 images was just 1 large file (that you could unzip to het the text and images as loose files or whatever) rather than 51 files totalobsidian is decent, tho i mostly just use my code editor. not sure what use the mind maps and so on are, feels like pretend productivity
>>109170458I also used Evernote until they lost their minds, Obsidian is the best replacement I found for it.
>>109170458Notesnook is just the best I could find, there was also Joplin that is sweet but requires third party sync or pay to use their sycning.
>>109171485Selfhost a bookstack instance. You get the syncing for freeIf you don't have a server at home, then a cheap vps will run you like $18 / year. If you don't want to open any ports (understandable) setup a VPN with it and you're good to go.
>>109168156>takes notes>in non-free softwareWhat a little bitch.
When I was still taking classes, I took all my notes in Latex. Works fine enough.
buy an ad already, how is this relentless daily shilling allowed?
>>109170172I like org mode but why is the mascot a unicorn?
>>109169604fuck off and die updooter
SilverBullet is nice, FOSS and self hosted. The lua scripting is cool if you take the time to learn it, you can also just use it like obsidian with back linking.
>>109173049It’s aimed at horsefuckers but a normal horse wasnt unique enough
>>109168156why don't you just use your code editor?every editor nowadays has even markdown preview
>>109168156why would I install spyware on my PC anon?

>>109173049Because software this useful is extremely rare. Also because emacs users like to fuck horses>>109174104emac
>>109168156I vibe coded my own, imagine not using custom made software in current year
i usually just type stuff into notepad or obsidian, it depends on how impatient i am with trying to route through folders and other bs.
I wasted some time taking notes for notes sake which was a waste of time and productivity masturbationbut now im doing an engineering degree and its very useful. I setup a priority system and have a multi-step process like a kanban board where every thing I ever read or write gets turned into anki cardsspaced repetition / anki is the real secret to learning. Note taking itself is mostly a waste of time.
Can anyone explain what exactly am I supposed to take notes on? I can understand having to take notes if you're someone involved in content creation, a writer, a researcher, a teacher or a student. But I am none of those, I just work on webslop daily. What the fuck am I supposed to take notes on?
>>109174350where's the graph from? is it useful in any way? can you see the names of pages after focusing on the dots?
>>109174510It's a default feature, its not really useful apart from showing off
>>109174350Same desu.Spent a lot of time perfecting my note taking with Emacs, but kinda realised that I don't even need that many notes.
>>109174510>where's the graph from?obsidian has a native graph>is it useful in any way?mostly marketing gimmick, it just looks nice but it's irrelevant because you will Ctrl+F all the time if we are talking about regular notesthere's an extremely tiny amount of usecases where it can actually be useful such as OSINT/investigative work>can you see the names of pages after focusing on the dots?if you zoom in yeah, you can also use filters
feature I actually use is tagging notes by priority and quality and using the database thing so I always know which note needs turning into anki notes nextif it wasn't for making anki notes I might as well just delete all of my notes and forget about it. active recall is the only thing that matters. Having notes to refer to is actually worse for learning for many reasonshttps://www.justinmath.com/why-i-recommend-students-not-take-notes/there's a good plugin to easily make any line or paragraph into an anki noteanother good thing is there is a shit ton of user plugins, seeing as Obsidian itself doesn't have many good features. I even had to use a plugin to add the enum types in this screenshot.
>>109168156thank you obsidian
I use Notally
>>109168156use case?
>>109168156What's it got that Joplin doesn't while being free?

>>109170406>Helix Notes>Rust>Tauri>SvelteKitHoly fucking AIDS
I vibe coded my own app that is integrates LLM and other ML techniques to build a knowledge graph and retrieval system that automatically pushed knowledge into the right corner, tags, digests etc.Its a work of process but the goal is to just put my thoughts or todos into it and its all perfectly organized and can be retrieved by natural language
>>109168156>OneNote but shit.
>>109174977leavenobody needs this. structured notes are equivalent to structured thoughts which is why you should develop and implement your own note schema. if you just spew random ideas into an llm parser for generic object types it's a classic garbage in garbage out situation. a fucking waste of resources.
>>109174017yo what the helly? why does it have access to the browser history and passwords?
>>109175081>falling for the bait
>>109174017Something is retarded here. Your OS, your browser, or you.Obsidian can't access your secure passwords unless you store them in text files on your computer.
>>109175053What are you smoking faggot lmao
>>109175108>yeah bro believe in muh woke closed software program from the epstein country
>>109174350>multi-step process like a kanban board where every thing I ever read or write gets turned into anki cardshows dat work? A script? >spaced repetition / anki is the real secret to learning. Note taking itself is mostly a waste of time.Interesting to hear that, hm..
>>109168156I've tried Obsidian, I've tried Org in Emacs, I've tried OneNote and an overpriced ReMarkable and they all are a waste of time.A simple A6 notebook allows me to write everywhere, instantly and without having to deal with whatever markup language your editor forces you to use. Markdown is too barebones for most usages and Org mode has a steep learning curve that just doesn't make sense.
>>109172608Bookstack looks interesting. Currently an obsidian paypiggy because I couldn't find anything that would allow relatively simple syncing across various platforms + a relatively good UI. How usable is it from a phone if I wanted to add some notes via an android device?
>>109175108how do you think they are stored?
i can never get into these shitskeeping everything in you head remains undefeated
>>109169814Think the issue is they are focusing on the db based version with markdown being a mirroring thing.
Why is there so much seethe in the thread?It's just a cool notetaking/multipurpose personal wiki programI like itThe biggest issue is the community being full of AI bros and obsessive custooomizers that spend their days adding and configuring 300 plugins instead of just using the damn thing
Luddites stay sleeping on anytype
Note-taking apps are definitely a cult, but there is a compelling aspect to paraphrasing what you read and putting it in a larger, interconnected format. The main issue stems from most of its ardent supporters using these programs for recipes, blogs and mindfulness instead of showing practical examples. At the same time you can't blame them, as in most cases the casual user isn't going to extract a lot of value from Markdown, Zettelkasten, Personal Wikis etc. Instead, they'll download various plug-ins, get obsessed with making everything functional or pretty and then abandon it a week later.
>>109176266>obsidian but for privacy schizos evendoe obsidian is already local
>>109176302Yerp and mobile version is still gimped but she's a good lass
>>109176164You answered your own question frog-samaIn all seriousness, 4chan has always been anti-productivity
The fact that there is no go-to FOSS suggestion in these threads, makes me think that obsidian is really the best. I keep researching and trying out alternatives. Cherrytree or notion might be the next ones I look into.I am spoiled by the folder-like architecture, so the durrr use txt faggots can suck it
>>109176389The main reasons for using FOSS software for an end user are pricing and privacy.As obsidian is independently audited, local, and free to use both personally and commercially there is no real reason to downgrade to something like logseq.
google keep is enough if I somehow forget my a7 notebook and a pen
>>109175000>>109176424good goyim
>>109176431shalom and thank you rabbi, google environment as a whole is the best and I don't have anything to hideit's just so easy to use amd have everything in one place, all the tools, interconnected so wellim not lazy i swear i will continue to work for you
>>109168992Retard doesn't know what malware is lmao
>>109176473>I don't have anything to hide so please sell my confidential data and also train AI on it
>>109177136Not him, but Im a teacher and use different computers all the time at work and at home. I need to plan my lessons and keep track of my copious amounts of trash I need to remember about kids and classes. Honestly OneNote has saved my life a couple times. Can’t do all this shit with a .txt file or a notebook I can forget to take. I’ve been looking into switching to google stuff, because it’s easier to work with cross platform, so I can use my linux machine at home as well. But it’s still a bit icky to me.
>>109177136yes, if that's the price of comfort of use, so be itim innocent after allG-d bless you, Rabbi
Obsidian and Syncthing masterrace
>>109170406This. Tried StandardNotes and Obsidian and ended up with Helix notes.
>>109168753>logposter outside of /b/
thank you obsidian you really became good when i started thinking about you as a note taking app rather than a second brain.
>>109168937what I used to do was just take a picture of my notes
>>109176590he's right though>Malware, short for malicious software, is any program or code designed to intentionally damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, servers, or networks. It serves as an umbrella term for various cyber threats aimed at stealing data, extorting money, or spying on user activities.
>>109176389>I am spoiled by the folder-like architecture, so the durrr use txt faggots can suck ityou can put . txt files in folders tho?
Anything but hand-written notes is snake-oil (proven by science)
>>109169896wow god forbid i want to actually use my mouse for something holy shit
>>109174017>internet accessOH NOES IT'S LITERALLY SPYWARE STALLMAN SAVE US ALL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>109168156how to sync? tell. now. ios + freebsd
I don't get it. Am I supposed to manually link notes? That seems tedious as fuck.
>>109168156I tried to use it, but the issue is that my Notes "vault" is a mixture of the sort of structured ceremonial "mental maps" that Obsidian likes (you know, with pictures, self references and shit) and loose .txt files that i have no reason to have sorted beyond its filename, some basic tags at most (becase these files are either holding data and will be dismantled later, or are some dead simple paragraph with 4-6 links and some minor context attached to them, many not even that but text stubs, from something like i.e. any chat or some forum's reply). Obsidian doesn't work with the later. Is the right tool only for like 40% of my notes.
>>109170406>Helix NotesIs there a way to disable the WYSIWYG rendering? some of my files are very disorganized, like raw txt comments from a random blogpost or a list of links whom i don't need the format for anything. Using any of these fancy solutions so fare hasn't cut for me for that reason, because if i have to open another text editor to sort them out less they become unreadable, i'll use that one 90% of the time.
>>109178144If there was a file explorer that would open the txt files to the right with the folder structure on the left, without opening new txt windows, I would be open to the suggestion
>>109168156it doesn't solve note taking. it creates autistic diversions and busy work in order to avoid actually acheiving anything. it's do nothing software, you spend more time on the software than the task. it's basically another shade of linux, instead of larping as a systems admin you're larping as a secretary. both are gay.
>>109175282It's a webpage, so you'd be typing into a form, like this webpage. Can you do that? It supports a couple different formats, markdown being one of them. You can link between different pages and books, but you don't get the graph view that is obsidian's only real feature, but because of how bookstack is organized, you select a location of where to add a note / chapter / book, you sort of get that same organizational structure for free.
>>109175108Bro my linux anti-malware blocked it directly from your provided app in uber repositories. I’m not installing your spyware nigger. Eat my whole ass.
>>109169262>NOOOO, YOU HAVE TO USE THE MICROJEET TEXT EDITOR!!! Kys, Notepad faggot.
