Zettelkasten Software Experience Write-Up Collection

Hi,

I think I need your experience to find out which software can be a good part of a Zettelkasten workflow. And I think I can offer something interesting in return: a platform. On that platform, we can collect information and cross-reference resources on the web to create a useful resource to anyone interested in a Zettelkasten-style knowledge management.

I have added the two apps I have already reviewed to the Zettelkasten.de tools section to get us started. See for yourself:

Once you drop me an e-mail, I’ll gladly add a link to your personal software reviews and usage reports to the collection.

I find it hard to really compare software by some set of abstract criteria. It’s easy for me to select software based on compliance to the basic Zettelkasten requirements, but this won’t help anybody who is searching a good fit to her case. Instead, I think that detailed and personal write-ups of a user’s experience provide deeper insight, and that this really helps to illustrate how to use an application.

This is totally a work-in-progress. I’d love to hear your opinion.
