  1. 🗂️ The Day Cluster: Why I Use Multiple Daily Notes Instead of One

    New post on neurodivergent-friendly PKM design:

    - Separation of concerns (each note = one job)
    - Zero decision fatigue (same structure daily)
    - Visual navigation (links replace search)
    - Progressive disclosure (start with 2 notes)

    From overwhelmed single note → clear structure

  2. Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes

    Join the workshop at #39C3!

    NEW DATE: day 4, TODAY at 13:40 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.

    Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

    This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.

    • What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
    • Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?

    These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.

    Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

    • Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
    • Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
    • What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
    • The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

  3. So I've been working on an AI assistant for Logseq, a note taking app. Think of this like a "Cursor for Logseq".

    I'm quite happy as to where it's at right now, but I have a long way to go.

  4. My dear personal knowledge base managers, how do you group/split your notes?

    Let me explain.

    1. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" a note where we have everything about Python syntax (variable definition, functions, classes, if/else, for, etc.).

    Or

    2. We have a note "Python" and links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

    Or maybe

    3. We have a note "Python" and a link to "Python Tutorial" note that has links to many other notes like "Python variables", "Python functions", "Python classes", "Python if/else", "Python for", etc.

    Now I'm thinking about how to make it comfortable to search/read it in the future.

  5. @klymilark Although #OrgRoam is mostly aimed at #PersonalKnowledgeManagement, a key feature is that it optimizes for lots of small linked #OrgMode files. Add in #OrgRoamUI and you get a way to visualize and navigate all those files. Zetlekasten emphasizes very small, single topic, files, but there's no reason you have to use them they way.

    It sounds like you're already most of the way there, but you might find that installing the org-roam package adds as few useful convenience features.

  6. Whenever I concern myself with #PersonalKnowledgeManagement (#PKM) it depresses me. There are so many great methods and ideas out there, but they all create too much overhead and in the end I do nothing.
