On a side note: The 3rd screenshot. Is that really possible? Shifting all done tasks to the done section automatically? Or is this just manually arranged for the sake of a screenshot?
With wikis or note taking applications, I always find it hard to get into a habit of using them. I think this is largely because too much brain space is taken up with: 1. When should I write something here? 2. How should I organize it? For this reason, I'm currently trying out more of a "journal" model. The answers to the previous two questions are: 1. Write whenever you have an interesting idea, or you get that feel…

That said after locking myself into Spacemacs to use org-mode and org-capture, I always wish there was a way to make org a bit more independent of Emacs, or at least a bit more collaborative. We use Asana at work for tasks / issues / todos and syncing that between my TODO.org and back again can be tiresome when trying to preserve information and context. I'm definitely better at maintaining my org files, but Asana preserves context in a more clean way because people can collaborate and add information to tickets, whereas they can't do that with org files.
I want to put in a good word for zim-wiki here. Its a shame the Windows port seems to be on indefinite hiatus for now. Its by far the easiest GUI-based wiki to deal with, easily handles just dropping in files into a hierarchy and simply working with them after a refresh. Sorry but being able to use a mouse to navigate a wiki beats out a keyboard-based wiki any time. https://zim-wiki.org/
I used Zim-wiki for years, and loved it. However, there is a fatal flaw in Zim that people using it for notes about code should know about. Zim parses all text as "wiki text" and some computer code snippets get parsed and interpreted as formatting. See this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/585300 Other than that issue, Zim is brilliant. The developer is very responsive to most issues and feature requests. Sad…
I’ve been using vimwiki for a while now and it seems to fit the way I work the best of all the options out there. But, I recently dumped all my vimwiki markdown files into Obsidian and have really been enjoying that experience. Same local files with an upgraded visual experience and some neat linking features. It has basic vim bindings, unlike roam and others, and that makes all the difference. I just wish I could us…
I'm a big fan of Trello for life organisation and one of the best bits is being able to view and add on my phone. Obviously vim isn't particularly mobile friendly. Any ideas on how to view/edit from afar?
I have syncthing set up on my laptop and phone. On my Android phone I use Markor for viewing and editing the files, and the changes are then synced back to my laptop. Admittedly I don't use Markor very frequently, and often just use Evernote instead when I'm on my phone and want to jot down something quickly... This is mostly because I feel the need to organize in folders etc when using Markor and vimwiki, so my ment…
After originally using vim-wiki, and then slowly progressing through a dozen or so personal wiki software tools ( all FOSS ), about a year ago I settled on Tiddlywiki. It's also all self-contained within one folder, but I can stick it behind a server and access the files from wherever. Without having to rely on syncing tools like nextcloud. Tiddlywiki is actively developed and has a healthy amount of plugins, includi…

I couldn’t find what Obsidian is, do you mind to provide some links?
I found it via this recent HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23324598
