The Archive VS nvALT

I currently use The Archive app (Zettelkasten style) : https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

You're worrying too much about this. First, you're confusing a Zettelkasten (ZK) with a PKM. You don't need a PKM to have a ZK. And, yes, there are examples of text based ZKs. Agreed with u/FastSascha - the Archive is probably the best example: Https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. Source: 9 months ago

I used to use nvALT quite a bit. These days I use The Archive[1] instead. [1]: https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

But relatedly, I would kill to have tabular numerals in the sidebar, so files beginning with date stamps or any numbers line up. See The Archive sidebar for reference. Source: over 1 year ago

If you're on Mac, you might check out The Archive. It is based on the Zettelkasten concept, so it attempts to be card-based. Source: about 2 years ago

I used to think like that, stored everything in Pinboard, tagged properly.

Could also just take notes as a form of collection! Obsidian seems cool (though I haven't used it yet either), and Notational Velocity is mac-only but pretty fun.

If you really want to get meta, remembering stuff is a kind of collecting too, so you might like spaced repetition... Source: almost 2 years ago
