Re: For Obsidian users, do you divide your permanent notes in folders?
Although Obsidian has a very quick search spanning the entire archive as if it were a flat list of notes, it could be beneficial to have big categories to separate fleeting notes (the inbox) from permanent notes (your own) and literature/reference notes (others').

Re: Share your ZK plans for 12 June - 18 June
