Having tested Claude extensively, I would be Very Wary of giving it access to my data. But the idea does look pretty cool.
Logseq DB Update?

... unless one was just CRIMPing, of course, in which case experimenting is half the fun!
Depends on your platform(s): a couple of clues suggest you're working in Windows, but perhaps you could clarify?
And welcome to the forum! We're all Very Proud of the host, Chris, who's just enhanc...
All-In-One solution?
5/1/2026
No, that's true – UpNote isn't date-aware at all. You can use TickTick as your all-in-one, of course – I share TickTick in a small office environment, and we have quite a lot of useful notes in there ...

Love the look of this, but (a) it's online-only at the moment? And (b) the subscription price is perhaps a wee bit ambitious for a brand-new solution?
But a really nice idea!
All-In-One solution?

Hi Mike,
Ah, the all-in-one approach is one of those things that hovers, just out of reach...
I've been using Obsidian as my go-to here, because of its unbelievable flexibility. On the other han...
Forum redesign

Just another endorsement to say: this really is the bees' knees! Very elegant, very easy to use. I'd love to know what the back end is?
Whew, thanks for reminding me, Paul – I was beginning to hyperventilate...

Funnily enough, I caught sight of this just yesterday – but with extraordinary self-discipline, managed to stop myself from downloading it... Damn, maybe I'm going to have to after all...
Oh wow, I hadn't seen that – and I use Task Board! I'll take a look straight away...

Whoa, that's so cool! Thanks, Chris!!!
HelixNotes and Zorin OS
3/10/2026
Bravo! Elementary OS is very nice (and in fact, Zorin OS Pro includes an Elementary-style interface, which is nice).
Installing Zorin on the MacBook Air was ridiculously easy. They've clearly include...

Well! What fun I'm having in my spare time!
As some of you know, I regularly experiment with Linux as I seek to achieve my long-term goal -- moving away from the big U.S. suppliers. But so far, my ex...
Bike Outliner 2 Themes (Preview)
1/20/2026
Just thought I'd post part of an e-mail I've just received from Sascha at Zettelkasten.de – apparently Bike is his outliner of choice:
"I just pull content from my Zettelkasten. For most episod...
Obsidian Bases -- any use cases?
1/13/2026
Totally agree – and of course DataView serves as the back-end for so many other plugins, thereby avoiding the need to tackle it directly ;-)
But I uninstalled it long ago, because it also contr...

With respect to Obsidian, I strongly recommend the plugin "Various Complements", which despite its rather dull name offers an amazingly useful way to identify related notes as you are typing. No, it's...
Obsidian Bases -- any use cases?
12/15/2025
I don't use Bases to any major extent, but I do sync my contacts with Obsidian, and use Bases to filter them. This is especially useful when looking for multiple contacts; it's easy to create a Bases ...
Capacities 2025
12/2/2025
Ha, sounds like me! While I’m pretty firmly fixed on Obsidian and TickTick now, I still enjoy encouraging the developer of Octarine and others. I would happily switch to Octarine as a PKM system...
Yo Prion,
Er, there isn’t a kanban view in Octarine (although I’m sure the developer would happily create one at some point). There’s a “graph” feature, like Obsidian...
Heh, nice idea.
Well, yes, I do use Obsidian. But I also use:
- Growly Notes (mentioned in the Nisus thread)
- Octarine (mentioned elsewhere in the forum
- reMarkable Desktop
The latter I use much ...
Has Nisus disappeared?
10/24/2025
Nice thread – worth remarking that when I’m not writing in Obsidian (very much my standard go-to nowadays), I use Growly Notes instead. One of the most impressively efficient Mac apps ever...
An interesting journey. Since you’re gravitating to Obsidian for longer, more data-intensive work, can I recommend the plugin “Various Complements”, which is by far the fastest and m...
Oh wow, you’re right – I hadn’t actually noticed (I tend to use my mouse, but would certainly prefer keyboard arrows for large data sets)!
I shall let the amiable Rajat know!

Well, I must say I’m delighted to hear about such positive experiences.
My own tests of AI translation have been disappointing, although I continue to use MT systems as a kind of super-thesauru...

@eastgate, just to come back to what you were saying earlier. I tend to agree that you’re missing the point. Speaking personally, I am not “against” AI as such, but I am very wary, f...
