I can tag notes, and it'll auto-organize the tree structure based on what's related to what. Each note is it's own discrete thing that's thrown into the mix of the "snowglobe" of notes, if you will. At any time if I want to search the information, all related trees and branches show up, rather than the traditional structuring where you have to organize it yourself.
So if I create a note that is titled "MH370" or something, I can tag it with #plane #disappearances #(region it was in) etc, then if I search the #plane tag, it might show ADS.b link, other plane incidents, the recent boeing suiciding, etc.
I highly advise you try it out, it's free and requires no subscription, and all of your notes are hosted on your own machine (Logseq)
I've used it since 2020 or so, and it's insanely boosted my ability to find links, notes, resources, etc. It's like building a search engine for your own mind.
This would be worth looking into as well. The important thing is being able to create lots of relations, tie information to those relations (evidence, resources, disputes, etc) , shift how the associations are presented quickly, and find and see things based off what’s related to them to mine the data.
I was only looking at this platform because it’s the one I saw, but if there’s a product in the space that better fits the role, it’ll be much better to look at it first.
u/Slechta5614 this is definitely a good point - there should be an evaluation phase where we look up and trial bubble a few different providers and list the pros and cons of each before settling on a platform, like any software project. Could end up saving a lot of work or producing a better product.
Yes, but in most cases I use it to quickly construct citations, or find links from notes I've taken for relevant data I might be referencing in a conversation. Often the way people create notes or link things is entirely unique to the way their own mind works. So creating a document, a post, etc is the art of laying out context that constructs a narrative (or set of stacking relevant information) to support a thesis.
For example, if someone was to bring up directed energy weapons saying they don't exist, I can quickly conjure citations demonstrating that they do exist, here's how they're used, here's the current capabilities, how it relates to weather modification, etc. "Normally," that might take doing the research on the spot to try and find those links. Instead I've already created my own searchable database based on what I've previously reviewed.
Think of it mostly as a slowly built up mega compendium of everything you find interesting. And since it auto-organizes, you can quickly dig out what you know you wrote or how you've linked things together.
There's also applications like NotebookLM (and other ai assisted note-searching apps) that let you query your own notes in plain english, and it'll bring up your info as well as expanded info from associated links~ pretty cool stuff
When it comes to "sharing" I personally find it best to construct something and order it based on the context. Be it a discussion, twitter thread, blog post, video script, etc. Logseq and other zettlekasten tools allow me to quickly pull up what I already know I know, and use notes that I may have taken sporadically when those interests have arisen in the past.
Think of it as literally writing a note, tossing it in a big basket, but then being able to ask things like "show me everything I've written on electric universe theory" or whatever. It truly solves the "wait, where was that site again?" problem in keeping sources in order. The process of re-wringing or tagging things into this system helps reinforce memory as well, since well, you wrote it, and you know that it's in the system somewhere, without having to worry where.
Wow I truly appreciate the long thought out response. Will definitely look into this..
The one thing I liked about the other app was the fact many people could edit the same thing to kinda create a crowd sourced map. However I do see the benefits of what you shared. Will look into and reach out if I have questions..thanks fren
Interesting what makes you suggest this app fren

This is actually a very very good idea and honestly the best way to start. Thanks fren. I will try to put out a post on it some point today :)
I wanna make sure the stuff created is sharable to
Thanks for the suggestion fren. I will look into this as well.
Is the stuff shareable..like if I create something can I then share it
