@chrisaldrich I learned to use index cards for bibliographic research as a child, in English class. I took notes by hand in school and as an undergrad, and while studying for my qualifying exams, I created HypdrCard stacks for my study notes, and later, teaching notes and research notes. Those were converted to HTML pages. Later, I used VoodooPad (a macOS/iOS app) for permanent notes (local wiki, exports HTML). Last year I tried a bunch of apps for note management for research/writing, settled on Obsidian, but am moving away from it, and going with static html pages. I've created so many simple html sites, for work, that I can keyboard basic html very easily. It's stable. It's attaractive, and it's very portable. I still take a lot of notes by hand, especially in terms of reading printed /codex books, but those I keep end up on the computer. As a Medievalist, with a solid background in English Renasiassance and Early 17th literature, who worked for a rhetorician, the koino topoi were fairly standard parts of educaiton for centures. Common place books were common place. I even started a commonplace blog, in part becasue early blogs reminded me of the 18th century version of the commonplace book. The tech community/podcasts have a lot of overlap with productivity podcasts, and interest in PKM stuff (see the <ahref="https://www.relay.fm/focused">Focused podcast, for instace, from David Sparks and Mike Schmitz).. I'm both fascinated and horrified by it, so have been reading a lot about it, as I read books about reading. I created this page of resources for learning Medieval Welsh. The page is on my list of pages to update, but it's got about ten pages listed ahead of it. And good to meet you too!
