Zettlring After Nine Months
Back at the beginning of last October I reported on on how I was experimenting with a notetaking method called Zettelkasten, and had just starting using a software package called Zettlr to do so. I am happy with how this project has gone, and am using the system to store short thoughts, extended notes, and drafts of pieces of writing. As of now I have about 132 entries in my Zettlr workspace. This count may not live up to my hopes from then of one entry a day, but it is continuing to grow in diverse directions.
Each entry in Zettlr is a single markdown file — markdown is a simple structured text format — and a workspace in Zettlr consists of a nested directory of markdown files. I am not at all worried about when I end up having thousands of files instead of hundreds. The Zettlr software seems to scale well, and in addition directories full of markdown files have become a common way to organize information in our brave new world of AI-augmented knowledge management systems.
