Plain files stored in a tree (hierarchy) is often underrated but is simple, elegant and efficient.
Storing documents in web apps is, in my opinion, inferior in many ways because this is mostly opaque and thus bad at interoperability.
The not much financial incentive to do so, but everything should be local first, using open formats and protocols, the cloud should only be used as dumb backup.
- arduinomancer 5y agoUsing Notion made me realize that markdown files in a hierarchy is the ultimate personal wiki solution. I never have issues finding notes or choosing where to put them if I have a good hierarchy Ideally I'd like to get away from Notion and just use local files but I can't for the following reasons * Everything needs to be viewable from any device * Drag-and-drop embedding images in documents is just too convenient, using plain markdown with images seems really cumbersome * Need to be able to make quick notes/edit on mobile Curious if anyone has found solutions to the above ^
