YouTube transcripts, Notion integration, AI-enabled daily digests, and an API client are the latest updates on Omnivore. Check out the details in our blog article:
@AAMfP@jenkstom thanks for telling me about Logseq, it wasn't on my radar! but looking over their website I saw it involved coding in its usage, to make "queries", and it gave me pause. did I understand that correctly?
When you get out of control with organization even though you know it will only last a short time and soon you will have another abandoned tool sadly languishing. Exhibit: Notion workspace that initially had just Stash in it and now has become my full-blown mini-personal-Ravelry-esque repository of knitting data. #knitting#FiberArts@knitting (remove group in reply) #Notion
@stvfrnzl I did that exam recently. Don’t know whether I’ve passed yet. There were very few questions about statistics and many more than expected about “Universal Design for Learning”.
Geeky action du jour: importing #TheRealists blog posts into a #Notion database — so that I can potentially get interesting insights thanks to its new Q&A feature 👩🏻💻
(inspired by @crumbler and his brilliant use of Notion)
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
@publicvoit I don't think, that Markdown per se is a lock-in factor. Ideally, every tool would save everything as flat text files. That would truly be open, imho.
Ages ago, I was using a simple, text file based local wiki. Things got complicated ever since.
It's super common with Notion newbies to make a really complex system, maybe using several different templates, that seems great because it includes literally everything.
Trust me when I tell you, you don't actually need everything!
Start small and simple - it can be as simple as a blank page with a check list on it!
@sharan that's one thing I'm not using as much, probably because I'm not sure about future migration to other applications... 🤔 What's your top use-case for databases?
Really impressed with how far AnyType has come in the last year. As I predicted in my article from the Alpha version, it didn't take long at all for this app to match Notion for everything I needed to organize important aspects of my life.
It still has a bit of a learning curve and some sticky areas, but it's fully functional, secure, and streamlined enough to pick up with just a few hours of practice setting up a course schedule for my classes in the Summer/Fall.
@sharan That is one of the biggest flaws of a LOT of really cool software. The UX is so often TERRIBLE from a non-techie perspective (or even a techie one, lol). Anytype's actually improved since their alpha version, so I'm hoping they keep headed in that direction. More accessibility, fewer bugs, clearer language, and a better introductory tutorial.
In short, what the "1 GB limit" actually is, is just this: You can transfer unlimited data between your devices while they are on the same network. If you wanted to have live syncing away from home, you'd need one of the following:
A paid plan.
A self-hosted "node" (a transfer point linked to the Internet where the data can be transferred through).
A VPN like Nord with something called "Meshnet" which makes your devices think they're all on the same network.
Now, if only Anytype's PR people would actually hire me, I could explain all of this to everyone, lol.
