The slip box diagram reminds me of Ted Nelson's ZigZag. But then, the numbering system raises an issue: in Zettelkasten, as practiced in Roam, and to degree in FedWiki, you can effectively transclude notes in other dimensions. In Roam and FedWiki, the identity system of slip boxes is replaced by slugs based on the note's title.

I'm not able to find it, but it wasn't much more than a blog post exposing the points I mention in the edited comment. If anyone can remember it (it was a HN post), that'd be great!

Nice, thank you!
Re: How to Take Smart Notes
#43Note-taking seems to have gained popularity on HackerNews over the past few weeks (or my attention has been biased towards these submissions, at least). I've long been interested in the domain of "personal knowledge engineering" and this clearly seems a common thread within our community. As a brief overview of the "SOTA:" * Emacs and Vim users skew towards Org-mode or Vim wiki. * Roam Research is sort of a recent we…
I use a small subset of Org Mode myself. But I think people focus too much on tools vs method. Plain text plus ripgrep can work great. Lühmann used pen and paper, and he built some hugely successful Zettelkastens. Many users at Zettelkasten.de write super simple notes in Markdown.
Actually, I'd never move away from plain text or a plain text format like Org, Markdown or similar as it is really future proof. Will Roam or Evernote be around and well maintained in 20 years? Probably not. I'd recommend you to use your favorite text editor plus Markdown. If your favorite text editor is Emacs, then consider Org.

#44We are actually building a tool right now sharing many similar principles from the post. If you are also obsessed about this space, we are looking for more engineers to join us. we're pre-launch, reach out to me at abtin.setyani@gmail.com or on twitter : @s_abtin

Yeah, note taking posts have been ramping up in the last few days/weeks. I’ve noticed that as well. I’m enjoying it, to be honest. I’m always looking to make my process (which, currently, is rather hodgepodge) more streamlined.
I wish I had the link, but last week someone linked to something called `bash_log` which was someone’s bash function that created time stamped md files for simple journaling. Nothing groundbreaking, but for me it was a step up.
Currently, I’m using StandardNotes, the forementioned bash utility with GitHub pushing, and god-help-me random moleskins. I’ve also tried Dynalist which was nice but I didn’t like that I couldn’t lock it down and link it to GitHub.
If anyone has any suggestions in the context of what I’ve posted, I’m all ears. The article gives me some ideas, as does your response. I’d be interested in more concrete examples of what you’re doing if you wouldn’t mind.

Oh perfect. Thank you. I’m on my phone otherwise I could have done the author justice, thanks!
Re: How to Take Smart Notes
#49There so many posts with stuff like this, but what’s really had a positive impact for me is using my own custom notation. Nothing fancy, no org mode, wikis, markdown, just brackets and characters.
Re: How to Take Smart Notes
#50I find taking notes on "the guide" revolutionary. It's a tree like application to take notes.
