My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.

There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩

You could try something like Obsidian to use as a second brain for storing information for later reference.

still wishing for a FOS alternative that's just as good : (

I got ya. Try Anytype (https://anytype.io/).

What's the difference between Logseq and Anytype? And how do both compare to Joplin?

So far I have been using Logseq and find it good but a little too complicated and somehow bland.

This looks exciting! Big learning curve though...

I am using logSec, which has a lot of the same features and is Foss. I am primarily using the mobile app; and my mine gripe is not being able to drag around the nodes in the graph. Think it works fine in the desktop version.

This what I use! I've been using Obsidian for years now! There is something really nice about taking notes on a book and then always having those notes available. It's even better for school since a lot of stuff is repeatedly covered in classes.

As much as I'd love to get into obsidian, it being non-open source and having a restrictive license makes it unavailable for me. I would love to use it to keep track of information for work but the license prohibits that without a subscription.

Logseq might be more up your alley then. I don't think it has a license like Obsidian does.

I tried that one but I just couldn't get used to it due to its bullet point nature

Been using it for years but now trapped in a constant state of trying to improve the organization. Every time I think I’ve got it structured logically, I find some way I could have done better.

I've been doing tags on files in a single folder. Ever note in the same folder. Notes get catagory tags. Doesnt match a catagory? New catagory. Its very simple and doesnt side track me with organisation as much
