This forum is a time capsule

Totally agree – a rather wonderful, nostalgic timeline with brief (and sometimes lengthy) mentions of a wide variety of in-their-time iconic products... ah, Blackwell Idealist; ah, Ecco Pro; ah,...
@22111, I strongly recommend that you read Peter Watts' extraordinary science-fiction series "Firefall" (the UK book includes both novels in one, in fact), which is an exploration of different models ...
It's an interesting argument, not unlike the everlasting debate about the portrayal of the 3D world in 2D in paintings and other artworks. Why do humans need to do that? Who knows. Why do (some) human...
Hm, okay, just been experimenting with Craft again after a while away, and I realise you can copy meaningful links to tasks (or indeed any "block" in a note) using the "Copy as Markdown" in the contex...
Capacities: a new mega PKIM App

It is lovely, but I notice from their roadmap that full-text search isn't yet a feature (it should be in the near future).
They are in the middle of developing desktop apps, however, and mobile apps ...
Capacities: a new mega PKIM App

This looks seriously impressive – thanks for the mention!
But purely online, unless there's something I haven't spotted?

Of course there is (for us CRIMPers, in any case!).
I quite agree – but I've tried Obsidian and no, it just breaks all my current expectations concerning smooth user-friendliness. Powerful...
Now if they'll only include transclusion in one of their many and regular updates – without transclusion, their whole task management model falls to pieces... :-(
... and the price! Yeeeuck!
How... Microsoft.

My guide for new users of Logseq
8/16/2022
Nice one! I confess I find LogSeq intriguing but baffling – your primer should be very helpful!

The Function Beyond

Absolutely. I enjoy the thought processes, but I object to what appears to be a compulsive need to attack developers and contributors based on very generalised premises.
There's more than enough unp...

UpNote adds collapsible sections
8/2/2022
What UpNote does have, which I wish other apps also had, is an outstandingly well-designed right-hand sidebar, where you can see all key document information (including ToC, backlinks, wordcount/chara...

No tolerance required – you regularly contribute really interesting stuff, which is the main requirement for a forum, at least as I see it?

Heh heh, I think it's probably a philosophical thing. Fundamentally Nietzschean, when you think about it (right down to the lengthy rants about how useless everyone else's contributions are).

You're right – it doesn't.
Although I use systems that do (NotePlan, Craft), I have to say that I'm not a great fan of auto-generated daily notes, especially when the app "assumes" you wan...
It is difficult to decide on the merits of Keep It vs Notebooks, @Dellu – I confess I use both for different reasons.
I'd just point out, however, that Notebooks *does* have folders, altho...
I've just discovered a really neat feature in Notebooks – at least, I wasn't previously aware of it.
In markdown notes, apart from being able to create standard wikilinks (using double bra...

A very nice summary, Paul: totally agree. Yes, it's those moments of truly human interaction that remain embedded in the memory. In one of my earliest jobs, I remember regularly observing one of the m...
Heh heh heh – that's what I was trying to do with NotePlan for quite a long time, before crawling back on hands and knees.
Now I'm playing with backlinks in Notebooks – they wor...

Just to confirm that Zhenyi says exporting data is on the roadmap. Hurrah!

Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
7/22/2022
Now that is a really good question – funnily enough, I'd asked myself exactly the same thing before reading yours!
The short answer is: no.
So now I'm going to have to find out how to dis...

All good points, Franz, but not quite the same thing as being able to watch an actual person in action, talking on the phone (not, of course, such a frequent occurrence nowadays!), cajoling suppliers,...
