Where do you save links, notes and random useful stuff?

The core idea of Zettelkasten:

1. ONE (shared) dump-pile of all new notes. Your 2,600 pile should do fine

2. REGULAR 'cleaning' of the new notes: a) Each note gets one or many tags (#urban-decay #gaming #assets) b) Each note is trimmed down to its essence, ready to be used for reasonable purposes. (e.g further writing)

3. 'cleaned' notes are moved to your golden store, ready to be found by searching (search "#urban-decay")

You have 1. You need 2. It's slightly work-y, but interesting and ... fun. Rediscovering and polishing forgotten dust-rubies.

Google Keep CherryTree - which is much nicer than the web site portrays https://www.giuspen.net/cherrytree/

I'm lazy, so I use Google Keep and will probably regret it someday.

LogSeq, with the "brain" shared across devices using Koofr over webdav

Notion — good for linking related notes

...sending myself an email

I keep all that stuff on a Wiki that I run in my house.

plain files in a git repo, one directory per topic, markdown. search is just grep. the friction of organizing is basically zero which means I actually do it. been doing this for ~6 years, it's messy but findable.

in md files in the file system.

Tools: Zettlr for notes. user?weird_tentacles explained the concept of zellelkasten. These are synced to a cloud folder so I have access to them on the move.

Blog: Compiling notes into 'new' knowledge is challenging and interesting. I try to keep on doing what I did in postgrad research.

My system is basically a 'digital graveyard' if I don't use full-text search. I moved everything to Obsidian because it's just Markdown files on my drive. For links, I use a simple Telegram bot I wrote that dumps everything into a CSV. Low tech, but it’s the only thing I’ve actually stuck with for more than a year.

I pin "Note To Self" in Signal and drop important stuff there. For less important stuff I have a Matrix room on my own server.
