Using the editor in The Archive as surrogate for Hub notes
I apologize if this idea is too obvious or already discussed in the Forum. But as my collection of Zettels and keywords have grown, I felt I needed further organization. Structural notes would be one solution. But, I produced a "mind-map" of my keyword collection and was able to refine it down to 6 "hubs" which could also… -
Saved search for tags
Hello fellow zettelnauts, I use the ##tag method from Sasha to signify a root link or parent link attached to a note. When I search for ## I also get all the H2 sections. So I changed all my ##links to @#links, is there a way to have a saved search with a joker like to catch every terms beginning with @# like @#$ or… -
What kinds of notes do you have in your archive?
Not every note in my archive is the same in kind. I did a quick review of the different types of notes I’m currently using: * General “Idea” notes * Bibliographical review/annotation (#ƒ) * Summaries (#ƒ, loc: 0) * Quotes (#ƒ, #cit) * Primary source commentary (#λ) * Bibliography lists (#bib, .taskpaper) * Journal… -
Hack for not losing unassociated notes in your digital Zettelkasten
Here's my newish-user (1 month) hack for when I don't yet know where/how a Zettel connects with other notes (which will someday be created, I'm sure.): In my "Related Notes" section of the card, if I don't have a specific entry, I list this instead: #_ It's my "missing stuff" tag. I use it for absent (or as yet unknown)… -
Re: Hack for not losing unassociated notes in your digital Zettelkasten
I have this a bit in my ZK, but as I'm using a physical ZK, I just add the card under an "Unsorted" section right at the front of the box. I try and make sure I go back and revisit within a day or two, and either try and associate it with an already existing entry, or actually try to expand on it. I guess its a similar way… -
Re: Hack for not losing unassociated notes in your digital Zettelkasten
Hee! :^) I know. However, sometimes I have an idea that doesn't yet have a connection in my ZK because it's just getting started. The #_ is a bit of a "it doesn't yet exist here yet, but I know it's going to so here's the start" marker. Makes space for novel thoughts joining in. @prometheanhindsight - great idea about… -
Re: Hack for not losing unassociated notes in your digital Zettelkasten
My hack is to not create unlinked notes as Luhmann advised.
But the "#_" is nice. It feels close to the issue of something is missing. -
Re: Zettelkasten for scientific research
The plan looks nice, and I wish you godspeed on your learning journey! I second @Will's sentiment about folders. If you absolute, 100% certainly want to separate stuff somehow, consider using tags for this first -- depending on the tool you use and how convenient tags are to navigate and to group notes, you can come up… -
Re: iA Writer as a Zettelkasten Note Archive
This doesn't seem to be the case for me, unfortunately. I use Alfred snippets (my snippet is below), and one of two things happens: 1) If I don't insert the placeholder "_inbox" tag onto the second line of the snippet, Alfred won't automatically write out the filename (which is good), but as soon as I type a single… -
Re: Argdown - Simple syntax for complex argumentation
Oh yes, I think they try to incorporate complex arguments, the creators are a team of philosophers, they started with Argunet, and then move on to Argdown.
