This thing that apparently worked very well for that sociologist that mostly likely operated before the iper-connected and mostly digital world that we currently live in (he died in 1998).
It's now being marketed as another holy grail solution, it reminds me of the GTD method back in the day (in terms of marketing).
Index cards and custom sized drawers? lol nope.
To add some constructive feedback: I'm playing with MediaWiki and i noticed this nice links on the right side of all pages: "What links here". It reminded me of this Zettelkasten thing. But without much fuss.
- bloopernova 6y agoThink of Zettlekasten as a wiki-with-a-narrow-focus. This site https://roamresearch.com/ https://roamresearch.com/ can be considered a wiki, but its features are all designed around journals, linking, tags, etc. Something like how a text editor can be configured to be a very useful IDE for a given programming language.
- trms 6y agoTo your last point: there's now ZK-focused software which has exactly that: a 'what links here' button on the side, which sort of removes the fuss. (Obsidian, to name one)
