Say I wanted to beat these guys at their game. How do I come up with a description more pompous than "personal knowledge management" to describe entering text. Fascinating stuff

PKM is the standard term for a whole diverse field of tools and techniques. Belittling it as "entering text" is pompous.

What elevates this specific vscode extension beyond my description? You personally knowing some of the people behind the project?

I really wanted to like this the last time I gave it a try, but it just did not do it for me. I though I would like it being a VS Code plugin since "why reinvent a .md editor", but the end result felt pretty janky. Plenty of power features, but they were not particularly intuitive to use....

I ended up finding https://logseq.com/ and have been very happy using that as a local application! I really like its balance of control/abstraction and its markdown based editor is beautiful!

I'm currently using Obsidian, but was thinking of moving to LogSeq. I guess I should give this a look also. So many choices...

Can I ask why the move from Obsidian?

I haven't found the state of the current plugins to interact with Zotero very satisfactory.

Gave this a try once but I remember that the performance on even relatively normal files was really bad. (Something like a few hundred urls as nested bullet points) which made me use Obsidian. Does anyone know if this is still an issue?

Yeah, I gave up on Dendron due to performance issues.
