The Archive might be a bit more popular than TheBrain. We know about 11 links to it since March 2021 and only 8 links to TheBrain. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Personally, I like the Getting Things Done method, which has you store notes in an "inbox" (for me, that's a Trello board), which you prune daily or weekly, which involves pruning out the stuff that really isn't important or that can just be done right then. Once I deem a thought or some information worthy of long term storage, I use the mind mapping software TheBrain. That allows me to store information quickly... Source: 5 months ago
Works really great! Also, I'm a 20-year user of TheBrain (thebrain.com), and I can drag and drop the files from my Obsidian vault to TB as links. Then, I can edit those files in TB, link them to other 12,000+ thoughts in my TB, and those edits will show up in Obsidian; vice versa, edits made in Obsidian show up in TB. Source: about 1 year ago

In this type of programs the best is theBrain https://thebrain.com/. Its dynamic mind maps allow store any quantity of information there. Source: over 2 years ago
I used to _love_ this program. Alas, it is very out-of-date. The best alternative I've yet found is [The Archive](https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/). Why is this trending now? - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago
I currently use The Archive app (Zettelkasten style) : https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / 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: 10 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
