Why does this keep making HN headlines?
The Zettelkasten thing is really nice but it keeps coming up as a 'new discovery' every few weeks.
Personally I don't have the attention to detail for it so I'll never do it.
- michaericalribo 6y agoNot everyone sees every post! someone in another comment literally said: “I hadn’t heard of Zettelkasten until today”.
