What I'd love to see from this Zettel Renaissance is just a dirt-simple VSC (LOCAL! PLEASE! STOP SENDING ALL MY CUSTOMER'S DATA INTO THE UNIVERSE) plugin that goes into my working directory, sucks up filenames, tokenizes keywords, then throws them all into an undirected graph with Graphviz (or PlantUML or Vega or Mermaid or Kroki or whatever), with a regex filter on the nodes.
I feel like it's one of those things that should be all over the place, but the implementations I've fooled with[1] with have been sharply limited in some way or other. I guess I should stop being a freeloader, put on my big boy shorts and have a go.

- taurusnoises 3y agoI get the impression that there's a community of people within the ZK world that would be very much into that. For now, the local-only scene is cornered by Obsidian, which I use and adore.

- MilStdJunkie 3y agoDang, thanks for the lead. I saw they had undirected graphs in the feature list.
- MilStdJunkie 3y agoYeah, Obsidian got my attention too, but InfoSec from multiple companies gave it the thumbs down when we applied for purchase. At the last joint I asked 'em why, but they then very correctly reminded me they don't need to tell me why. Well, #@*$ you too, boys.
- jayemar 3y agoTo me that seems to miss the point. Zettelkasten forces you to really think about your notes, about how you really understand them and how they relate to each other. If you hand this off to an automation process then it's not really zettelkasten, it's just refactoring your notes.
