I would recommend looking into personal knowledge management. I manage mine in Obsidian and treat snippets like permanent notes
Hmmm, I am using Logseq for that kind of note rn, but don't really like the way it handles code. I assume that's a markdown problem, not a Logseq one, but I should look again.
Well, Obsidian does have a bazillion plugins that make handling all kinds of content easier. I'm pretty satisfied with the out of the box experience though
I'm using logseq for snippets too. I find it to be adequate. 3 ticks and the language will get you monospace and syntax highlighting:
Maybe not something you intended, but your phrasing has me curious if Obsidian has some sort of temporary note? I can imagine some use cases.
Temporary note in terms of auto delete after a time? Although the manual Zettelkasten workflow intends you to delete your temporary notes by hand, it is pretty easy to automate this in Obsidian. Personally I have some actions for meeting minutes and notes on people to be moved to designated folders, but the same principle could be applied to create an action to delete any note older than X days
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, and you are right that automation wouldn’t be hard… although if I’m setting up that automation I’ll fail to commit to the deletion and just move the files to an archive folder. 😳
I only adopted Obsidian recently and only because I liked the idea of the data being stored as plain text files. I really haven’t adopted any system, just replaced Apple Notes.
