Really want to recommend using https://www.notion.so here to organize your work when you have a lot of research, reading or writing to do.
I'm doing a lot of research now on Bitcoin and Mythology as I want to write an article. Though the resources and notes I'm using was too much to handle. This app is really amazing.
I know this sounds like a corny advertisement, but I'm really blown away by the clarity and productivity gain I got from it. This book read girl youtuber has a great tutorial:
I found this because I was actually looking to buy my mom a book, so I started watching these girls read book channels. Telling ya, they know how to organize!
Which features from Notion do you use the most?
I recently fully switched to Obsidian and it's been really great.
  • I appreciate that the data is in standard readable format (markdown), so I can switch to another tool any time I want (or put it on github, etc)
  • I got this to sync across my phone and laptops in a fully e2ee private way (using syncthing - another recommendation)
  • It has some great extensions (tables, mind maps, etc) and it's super customizable. From what I can tell you could re-create Notion in it if you would want.
I was also wondering if there would be appetite for a tutorial for how to set up Obsidian with Syncthing and put it here on SN?

Interesting. For the moment I get all what I need from Notion, and I like the simplicity and look. And don't want to overcomplicate it. However I can imagine I might need this when I'm gonna need more functionality. And need to program up stuff. Also that goto function looks handy. Thanks for the suggestion.
