New plugins to make existing tools more roam-like 6/26/2020

Two interesting plugins under development. Foam, for Visual Studio: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ Streams, for TiddlyWiki: https://saqimtiaz.github.io/sq-tw/bullets.html Yet more proof that,...

List of Networked notebook apps 6/8/2020

Many of the top apps (Roam, Obsidian, etc.) now have discussion forums. Sometimes on Discord or Slack. Each of these now also includes a channel for discussion about other software that does similar t...

List of Networked notebook apps 6/7/2020

Someone put together a list of "networked notebook apps" on Notion. I find some of the groupings problematic. (For instance it lists apps as having "backlinks" when they only have "wikilinks" but not ...

Obsidian in public beta 6/6/2020

They continue to push out significant updates for Dynalist on schedule despite the new project.

nvAlt replacement 6/1/2020

Looks like the macOS version of nvUltra will be released soon? The webpage is rather polished and the feature list is pretty impressive. Love that it indexes PDFs as well. https://nvultra.com/ (PS: ...

Obsidian in public beta 5/31/2020

"the fine print clauses says he (Roam) and also obsidian can snoop on people’s data anytime." While maybe true of Roam (as it is of Google, Evernote, and other online services), it is most cert...

Obsidian in public beta 5/30/2020

I wish one could go back and edit things here... I hit "post" too soon.

Obsidian in public beta 5/30/2020

Some of my preference comes from positive regarding how the Obsidian developers relate to users in online forums. They manage to be very responsive while still maintaining their own unique vision (i.e...

Obsidian in public beta 5/27/2020

I think it is important that people understand that even though it is in "public beta" and already has an impressive feature base, it is still very far from the finished product the developers have in...

new blog post from the Evernote CEO 5/27/2020

I long ago gave up on using Evernote as a note-taking app, but I still rely on it to save and find my non-academic PDFs and screenshots of web pages, etc. I especially like using it with the Scanable ...

Tags for Forum Threads? #meta 5/27/2020

I wonder if it would be possible to add tags to the forum? I imagine tags for different categories of posts (meta, updates, new app, workflows, seeking help, etc.) as well as for platforms (apple, win...

TiddlyWiki Toolmap 5/26/2020

My biggest issue with TiddlyWiki is maybe a minor issue for some, but I don't like the fact that it isn't always in edit mode, the way Roam is. I wish there was a way to make it so that you could just...

I have not been able to understand what bvasconcelos has been trying to say, but this discussion on the Obsidian forums helped me. Looks like Obsidian is considering some kind of implementation of thi...

TiddlyWiki Toolmap 5/23/2020

Found this incredible document (hosted on Dynalist) listing hundreds of tools and resources for using TiddlyWiki. https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM I personally tried using TiddlyWiki ...

I believe you are talking about something completely different. DevonThink uses AI to analyze your entire document and looks for similar documents. This is similar to Google's "page rank." I don't rec...

This is exactly how the unmatched link/reference feature in Roam/Obsidian I described earlier works. Unless I’m still not understanding something? bvasconcelos wrote: >Based on the record name/...

On what basis does it make this connection? I personally would worry that such a system would make a lot of useless connections. I would prefer to have some degree of manual control over it.

Workflowy - Updates? News? 5/21/2020

Ha, I have the same problem - probably using a similar dark theme. But I assume the CSS will be updated soon enough...

Obsidian version 6.0 gets more granularity - you can now link to markdown headers within a document.

Both Roam and Obsidian identify "unlinked references"/"unlinked mentions" alongside those that have been deliberately linked, and allow you to link them if you like. (Not sure if this is implemented y...

Obsidian is only at 0.5 and even when it gets to 1.0 the plugin architecture will open up to third party developers allowing new features to be added. The main thing that is still in development I thi...

Updates are coming fast now. 0.5.3 just dropped. One nice thing is that it now self-updates so you don't need to re-download with each update. Just restart the app. (I suppose re-downloading may be re...
