[Zettel feedback] Functor (Yeah, just that)
This is a very technical note. A somewhat mathematical, even. On a meta-level, it's interesting to me because category theory is a field for which I have 0 (zero!) formal knowledge. I only know some practical applications from programming patterns. That makes writing a note among the lines of "WTF is a functor" a permanent… -
S.D. Goitein's Card Index (or Zettelkasten)
Abstract Scholar and historian S.D. Goitein built and maintained a significant collection of over 27,000 notes in the form of a card index (or zettelkasten1) which he used to fuel his research and academic writing output in the mid to late twentieth century. The collection was arranged broadly by topical categories and… -
[Zettel Feedback]: Discontinuous development processes
WE120220120918 Discontinuous development processes #development #growth #continuity #feedback Discontinuous development processes can also be explained by continuous processes. Or rather based on them. Namely, if critical masses are reached by continuous growth, which introduce a new level of complexity. The critical mass… -
What are the important Topics in the Periphery of the Zettelkasten Method
Hi Zettlers, in case you missed it: In preparation, I accumulate both sources and possible topics. To spice things up, I am asking myself, and right now you, what topics (and sources should be processed for that topic) could be interesting to the community but are not just about the Zettelkasten Method. I'll give you an… -
Creating a Personal History in your Zettelkasten
I have been working on a Zettelkasten for about 2.5 years. One of my purposes in starting a ZK was to capture brief memories or "snapshots" of my past, with a focus partly on what happened and partly on how I felt (at the time) or feel (now) about that event. I don't pursue this in any organized way, either in relation to… -

Tracking characters and interweaving plot lines
The age old question for authors. I have tried far too many systems better off forgotten save for the lesson that there must be a better way, analog and digital. This is yet my latest foray into the breach. My hope, and brief experience thus far is that Archive is a wonderful balance that maximizes the benefits of digital… -
Spotlight in macOS 11.0--11.2.x does not return files if hashtag item is last in a line of text.
Hello all, I've been talking with some other programers and been on the phone with Apple support and figured it might help this community to talk about a bug in Big Sur. Here it is: Spotlight will not return a file in search where the target search term is preceded by a hashtag and the target search term is the last item… -
Auto-bibliography creation, via citekeys
Ok script wizards, I'm wondering if someone might be able/willing to help me replicate, using Keyboard Maestro, a feature of sublimeless_zk that I really liked (before I stopped using s_zk, due to @rene 's apparent abandonment of it sad face) : auto-bibliography creation. When executed, this feature finds all of the… -
Tracking Destination References
When I collect a quote or a claim, I will often cite the source using multimarkdown cite keys, and include the full reference at the bottom of my note, i.e., When I later share that quote externally, on social media (for example), I often want to track where I've shared it. This way, I can keep track of the fact I've…
