Also, whatsapping myself
Chrome bookmarks + WhatsApp to self - classic combo. When you need to find a bookmark from months ago, do you actually find it or just google the thing again?

...sending myself an email
Email as inbox - do you ever actually process it, or does it just pile up with everything else?

in md files in the file system.
Do you organize into folders, or just dump everything flat and rely on search?

Notion — good for linking related notes
Does the linking actually pay off when you need to find something, or do you mostly just search?

I'm lazy, so I use Google Keep and will probably regret it someday.
"Will probably regret it someday" - what's the thing you're most worried about losing?

LogSeq, with the "brain" shared across devices using Koofr over webdav
LogSeq with WebDAV - nice setup. Do you use it mostly for linked notes/graph, or more as a daily journal?a_protsyuk commented on Ask HN: Where do you save links, notes and random useful stuff? · Posted by u/a_protsyuk
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.
Zettlr is underrated. When you're compiling notes into something new - how do you find the right notes to pull together? Do you browse, search, or does the linking do the work?

I keep all that stuff on a Wiki that I run in my house.
Self-hosted wiki - what software? And do you access it on mobile when you're out, or is it strictly home network?

Google Keep
CherryTree - which is much nicer than the web site portrays
https://www.giuspen.net/cherrytree/
CherryTree looks interesting - hierarchical nodes. Do you split notes between Keep and CherryTree by type, or is there a different logic?
Slapping a tag or two (or many) is bandaid.
Need a way to navigate a tree for a bookmark that is repeatedly tagged and filed across hierarchy.
Perfect example: retirement, budget, investment firms, reviewed
Each day has a focus, and it often arrives differently to a same bookmark.
Handcrafted Wikipedia category tree is a good start but still no navigation panel and a search box thereof.
