the cursor....
Hello everyone, I would really like to purchase the software, but one thing currently bothers me: the cursor does not seem to scale properly when using a smaller font size.

I'm a proponent of outlining even though I really don't like - loathe, actually - Harvard style outlines. My kind of outline is backed by a database of facts.

Useful friction or arbitrary separation?
Over the years I’ve experimented with a number of different workflows for managing ideas at different levels of maturity. I’ve tried keeping inbox notes, research and early working notes outside my Zettelkasten (Evernote/PARA, TaskPaper, and more recently a Notion database), only promoting ideas into the Zettelkasten once…
