I keep trying to use Roam and Obsidian (rather than a more simple note taking app like Notable,) but I find that my more complex thoughts on topics, i.e the ones I would want to use this kind of software to record, is more often than not about external content such as PDFs or webpages. I know you can simply link files or urls inside markdown, but the integration seems a bit simplistic. I suppose some people will just copy and paste highlights, or extract notations, but something like Zotero seems hard to beat for my usage.
- skinnymuch 6y agoI’ve used Devonthink over things like Zotero because it seems to be focused on Professional research. Like I don’t care about the writer of a pdf or site enough for it to be the 2nd default column.
- sawaruna 6y agoDevonthink looks cool, but can you explain why it's functionally better? Or is it just a better layout?
- skinnymuch 6y agoI don’t know. I’m not an academic. I’m gathering notes, web pages, mostly. I also gather videos and such. I assumed Zotero sort of things wouldn’t accommodate all that.
