   Ad 1: You’d have to try it yourself, but to me, Obsidian works flawlessly on Mac. As another commeter said, it has a certain VS Code feel to it. No iOS app yet, but I think it’ll come sooner or later — you should keep an eye out. 2nd: Obsid

   I had to stop somewhere with the explanations. I was mainly addressing people already familiar with Roam, and also decided that Zettelkasten as a term is quite easily googleable. It’s true I could have slipped a few words there, along the l

   I’m a little surprised that there aren’t any mentions of Obsidian, while there are at least two mentions of Roam. To all Roam lovers, and to all intellectuals in general, I’d recommend you to check out Obsidian [1] from the makers of Dynali

   Not sure about the specific features of hypertext, but in general: bi-directional linking, block references (Roam is an outliner like Dynalist or Workflowy), block transclusion, graph view of your page network... Of course, you could throw

   I’d recommend you to check out Obsidian [1] from the makers of Dynalist. It’s also a tool made mainly for Zettelkasten, but it is offline and local by default. It’s not an outliner like Roam, but rather a free-form text editor. I feel that

   I can recommend this video [1] from the author of How to Take Smart Notes. The whole Zettelkasten is a great idea, and he explained it succinctly in that talk. He also compares the status quo methods of note taking with the Zettelkasten, wh

   Considering that Tiddlywiki has around 4 plugins that are supposed to make it more like Roam, I’d say that probably Roam isn’t just like TiddlyWiki. Now, I’m not a TW user, but I think things like block references, outliner features, and bi

   Anybody using Notion for personal knowledge management (lecture notes, literature notes, etc). Why do you find it oreferable to Roam, Obsidian or some of the other new Zettelkasten approaches?

    I don’t have much time, but look at: Tiago Forte’s blogpost about How to Take Smart Notes (also, see the book), Roam research, Obsidian, Zettelkasten.de (mostly English). Also, both Roam and Obsidian have Slacks (or Discords) full of friend

    I’d love to see the notes — is it possible? I’m currently struggling with putting notes for an analysis course into Zettels, and an example would be tremendously helpful. If it’s not possible, let me at least give you a couple of questions:

    It should be fixed. Magic Racket works with other #langs as much as racket-langserver doe. That means, AFAIK, that if the #lang is configured correctly to work with DrRacket, it should work with the langserver as well.

    Magic Racket author here. On one hand, it’s difficult to see such a big time investment into DrRacket and not think about what could have been if so many man-hours went into the language server instead... But on the other hand, many things

    Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I think most of those things could be solved, along the lines of 1) Just swap out the diff algo, keeping the rest of git intact. 1a) Is already done for most popular languages. 2)+2a) Save the comments ver

    To add onto others’ answers, Advanced R from the same author dives more into the inner wirkings of R (such as lists X vectors, what are classes etc). It helped me understand why my code works the way it does.

    Wow, I helped translate this (well, the iOS version) into Czech many many years ago! I’m glad it still exists, the author — Alex, if I remember right — is very friendly and a great developer. It was my first “freelance” project; I didn’t ev

    Thanks for the recommendation, sounds great! As mentioned above, I think the credit is due to Coursera more than my university; either way, at least they've let me know that something like this is possible. It's just for fun; most

    Thanks! The teacher makes or breaks the course, and that is exactly why I asked for personal recommendations. As an aside, the world of genetics (and molecular biology in general) is beyond fascinating. I remember coming home after one the

    You could try Pollen [1]; there’s a little bit of setup, but you can generate beautiful webpages in it. It even has a markdown dialect, in which you write most things in markdown, but you can also add your own custom tags. [1]: https:&#x2F

    I'm torn between a pleasant UX and a portability/low bus-factor of the system I'm using. I don't take any long-term notes in LT though, just some quick ones from text books. I eventually plan to transcribe those somewher

    Do you by any chance also have some experience with taking general (think college) notes in this way? I'm a STEM student and having a hard time with organising knowledge to be both useful on exams (i.e. containing hard facts, proofs) a

    Not the OP, but still would be interested in the examples and the Notability templates. However, I couldn't find your mail on you profile. Did I somehow miss it?
