If you like that, I also recommend taking a look at Logseq[0]. I've previously been using Obsidian, and Bear before that, but always structured my notes as increasingly nested lists of bullet points. Logseq is basically built around that abstraction, to make it very ergonomic (with each bullet point being a "block" - the smallest unit of text on which Logseq operates). It also has querying built-in and the core is fully open source. So far very happy with it, and the new sync is great. Besides, it's also written in ClojureScript, which makes my inner lisp nerd happy. [0]: https://logseq.com/ https://logseq.com/

Also, some cool new outliner/mindmap tools are flowchart.fun[0] and obsidian markmind plug-in[1]. Personally, I find it easier to initially think visually and then just later convert it to nested-bullet points.

This is a great course on Logseq https://www.logseqmastery.com/ https://www.logseqmastery.com/ (working my way through it). Also he has some great intro videos on YouTube for the way he uses Logseq https://youtube.com/@OneStutteringMind https://youtube.com/@OneStutteringMind I prefer Logseq because Obsidian gets messy quickly with the structure for me. I end up having to use the OmniSearch plugin to find things quickly.

Agreed, Logseq has worked for me where no other note-taking system has (and I've tried a _lot_). I believe it has spaced repetition cards built in, too. It took me a day to grok the "structured" lack of structure, but once I did, it has become an invaluable tool. I just throw notes on my daily journal and add tags/links (same thing) liberally. The knowledge network is practically automatic and I don't fall into the trap of prescribing a hierarchical system. A massive boon for someone with clinically significant ADHD. The only extensions I use are for cosmetics, all functionality I need is included out of the box. My biggest complaints are the querying language (a form of datalog) and that macros don't replace the text but are rendered dynamically instead (limiting referential utility).

This is what I've started doing as well, and can confirm it's been working well so far. Logseq will automatically create pages made out of backlinks showing you all the blocks that contain the given tag.
