Did you see a significant productivity increase? Did your motivation to work on long projects change? Did it help you get over roadblocks in long project? (I tend to lose motivation whenever I struggle to make progress for more than 3 hours in a row.) How do you decide what goes inside of the system and what doesn’t? (we have search engines and chatgpt that can quickly give us the information we want for most things) How do you keep the information up to date, for example if you read a research paper and later it is partially disproven?
Thank you! Looking forward to learning about your experiences :)

My main requirement is being able to type in facts or thoughts, and have them offloaded somewhere (I don’t care where but would prefer it be local). Then later on I could bash in a few keywords and the program would spit out things it knows about those keywords. I don’t want to be involved in trying to organise my thoughts. That way lies madness. :P
@Cevilia Sounds like you might like #AI integration. Two apps come to mind, #ReflectNotes https://reflect.app/ https://nitter.net/reflectnotes which has AI integration, very focused workspace with #Markdown, but still lots of functions like backlinks. The other is #CraftDocsApp https://www.craft.do/ https://nitter.net/craftdocsapp @[email protected] @[email protected] it also has markdown, backlinks, and an AI integration. It has a very broad workspace and lots of templates.
Don’t forget about mem.ai.
Thanks! I’ll take a look at them. Looks like they’re both free to start too, so no harm in giving them a try :)
people love logseq for this type of note taking. the idea is you have a daily journal that creates a new page (from a template if you like), and you use backlinks to connect ideas. then you can click on any subject you’ve journaled about and it’ll bring up a list of places where you’ve mentioned this thing. For example if you’re learning a programming language, you can just type
[[clojure]]and it’ll show up on theclojurepage.I have a template that has an embedded page that keeps track of tasks I’m currently focusing on, a section for my random musings and journalings throughout the day.
