Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum

Dormouse, I agree with your points 100%. I wished I had seen your post 20 years ago and found MyInfo! The folgezettel method of child notes is very natural. My mistake was in worrying about the exact location of notes, as if they might become lost. Occasional review allows one to clone them elsewhere, or link in new notes which refer to these older topics.

Deliberation as you mentioned is important, to avoid making a messy repository without useful links. Again, spot on with the issue I had with Logseq, as those links had no intention and were not useful. I do occasional like to break down long notes into shorter child notes, which then can be cloned where needed when they represent a new topic or subject area.

Daly, I see your point but really any tree software can be used for a Zettlekasten with the advantage of very rapidly moving from note to note. Just the time saved alone is worth digitization, not to mention the archival aspects. I do have a yearly journal I write in every evening, and both A5 dot notebooks (as an idea sketchbook) as well as A6 to carry. I plan to digitize important notes from the A5/A6 into MyInfo and keep the yearly journals for future reflection.
