A thread for discussing all tools related to personal knowledge management (pkm) space. So far, I have tried using logseq, org-roam, denote and orgrr (the last three are emacs packages). I generally like simplistic tools that allow me to make connections between my notes (without bloated database systems -- orgrr relies on ripgrep tool to build the connection-awareness, which tickles my autism glans).

What tools do you use anon? How do you sync your notes to your mobile device?

You /do/ keep a personal-wiki detailing your debian server, gentoo, esoteric Monero wallet setups, right?

I like using Obsidian. I am currently using it to sort my recipes and other cooking related information.

If anyone knows a good image tagging software it would helpful. I tried a few and Allusion is close to what I am looking for, problem is it has been abandoned by the developer and has some bugs that make it annoying to use. I need something that lets me make a gallery with tags (preferably with hierarchy) similar to a booru for my drawing references. Thank you.

Zettlr, it's Obsidian but open source and made by commie larpers (libs) rather than lib libs. I tried Obsidian (too rich-featured, couldn't figure out how to best start, realized it was having an egirl stationery effect on me) and Logseq (I'm too retarded for it).

I don't, I only use a phone for alerts, Telegram with family, learning moon runes, gas/tea discounts, and sometimes KiwiFarms. Scarlet Notes Pro for writing notes. If I ever need to have a document on the phone, I copypaste the contents into Telegram.

From phone to PC, I always think I'd export text files when needed, but I do this rarely enough so Telegram is still faster. The shit I see in the browser I bookmark in the browser.

I used to use Scrivener; there's no Scrivener for Linux and even with Lutris it doesn't work well, I exported everything to text files and wrote a python script to rename the files and add Zettlr metadata headers. Whenever I get a text file that I don't have time to zettlr just yet, I put it into the inbox folder in Zettlr (not a feature, just a folder that I made for unsorted shit).

KO Reader (eink/android reader) exports to Markdown (and everything else), the markdowns are git-friendly. The books I read on the e-reader are usually fiction and only need 1 file per book (in Zettlr it's now possible to link to a section). I keep a separate git for raw note exports, just in case.

Just use DokuWiki. No database, has been stable and has worked well for two decades now, basically never any surprises and there exist plugins for everything. I use it for basically a huge amount of knowledge keeping and writing now, it's hard to imagine using something else (most of the things I've tried over the years have had one or more major problems), after having migrated to it from a usemod fork. It's easy as fuck to backup too, and not a bloated pile of irritating shit like confluence, mediawiki, wiki.js or bookstack, and by virtue of being a simple "web app" it will load on basically anything with a web browser (including a lot of esoteric and old shit).
 
Fossil SCM has a wiki feature. I have a dedicated wiki repo. Super easy to deploy as it's a single binary that will run on just about anything. I can host it on a web server somewhere or just keep a copy of the repo and run it locally. It's made by the SQLite developers so no tranny devs are going to ruin it.
