Uses This / Robert W Gehl
A nerdy collection of interviews asking a random selection of people all about the tools and techniques they're using to get things done

For the most part, I think it's going well. I can do a lot with students and colleagues via Nextcloud and Zotero. Obviously I have to use Zoom or Teams on occasion, but that's less common than you'd think.

@rwg How are you finding Zettlr? I thought the markdown editor was top of the class but I never came to (good) terms with the Zettelkasten method... If I could tear that out, I'd probably return to the app.

@haverholm I pretty much ignore Zettelkasten, to be honest. I use it to edit markdown files with the benefit of tags.

@rwg Well, maybe it's time to give it another go around...

@haverholm It's gone pretty well just for taking notes and tossing them into folders. For example, I take meeting notes in it, toss them all into one folder where the files are sorted by date and tagged with stuff like who the meeting was with and what it was about.

@rwg Oo Zettlr looks quite interesting

@aurynn it's pretty useful
