1/ Mobile apps are fundamental tools in our lives & we want our Tools for Thought to treat mobile devices as first class citizens, not some afterthought added later in the programs life span. @craftdocsapp handles this amazingly! Check out these gestures:

Swipe to select block
2/ Swipe to select multiple blocks
3/ iOS indent edited block
4/ Search - 2 finger tap search
5/ these gestures work on phone and tablet.

In addition, on tablet with a keyboard, the application includes many shortcuts for general outlining like capabilities (indenting, grouping, zooming, toggling)

1/ So I have been deep diving on @logseq. Let me just say its brilliant and has so much potential. It really is a local @RoamResearch, but in some ways better (and in a few not so).

One thing I really like is this hybrid blend of a graph database with markdown under the hood.
2/ You really own your data and you can easily change your data in the markdown format and LogSeq crunches it into the graph database.

LogSeq is an outliner. Find out about the advantages outliners here, written for Roam but applies equally well to LogSeq
3/ Roam really deserves praise when I compare it to LogSeq.

+ Roam is cloud based, no setup, no local file management
+ Roam has fine tuned UX for many features. On surface it doesn’t look special, but it is all in the polish, yes in its nuances and finesse — Roam has this.

1/ Reviewing highlights in a smart way is one of the benefits of @readwise using their Daily Review feature. However, it is important to understand what the review buttons do, so as to efficiency of the process. For example, what does the "Discard" button do during a review? Image
2/ Some might think it is designed to ignore it in the reviews. But in fact it does something different.

You use this when you decide a highlight doesn't have value to you.

Consider it a friendly delete. It removes the highlight from being reviewed and not to appear elsewhere.
3/ Discards though are still available at: readwise.io/tags/discard

So they are not deleted, but rest in peace here without bothering you in other places in Readwise.

Now lets consider he other buttons in the review process.

Attention all @obsdmd gurus, I am seeking feedback on a proposal I posted as a feature request.

Goal is to get block references to render in Obsidian as they do in most other tools. Your feedback is very welcome. #TfT

forum.obsidian.md/t/a-proposal-f…
2/ This was also an interesting comparison of the use of block references in other systems and how they slowly become a standard way to do translusion.

Let me lead you on a photo journey.

@RoamResearch:

1/ Readwise Tip - Use highlight_id in your exports

The @readwiseio export feature allows you to export your highlights to various tools like @obsdmd, @RoamResearch, @NotionHQ and more. The export can be configured to export these highlights in a format that works best for you.
2/ One possible issue when exporting highlights is that you can lose context of where they come from. Each TfT tools might have their own way of creating references to a source (example: block references).

How can we connect our TfT back to its source consistently?
3/ Readwise’s highlight_id to the rescue.

Use highlight_id in your export configurations.

It is Readwise’s internal identifier for that highlight. This means that every highlight you create gets its own unique identifier and is globally unique to the Readwise system.

1/ Today I to start officially cover @craftdocsapp. Craft is a beautifully “crafted” app for iOS, Mac & the Web. They define themselves as “a fresh take on writing & collaboration”for the modern era of digital devices that brings back the joy of writing. craft.do
2/ It isn’t necessarily a PKM or TfT tool, so a bit outside my focus area, but has many of the core features in place to compete in this space over time.

I have to thank @calhistorian for brining this app to my attention last year.

So what do I like?
3/ It is block based. So very natural experience for Roam and Logseq users.

It supports backlinks. Who doesn’t? But crucial!!!

Excellent collaboration features - multi-user editing

A beautiful WYSIWIG experience with great markdown support (import/export)

1/ iOS Shortcuts

I have been doing some work to integrate my iOS devices with Obsidian. the iOS Shortcuts tools is amazingly powerful and well designed.

Many in TfT community are using this to integrate workflows with @obsdmd and @RoamResearch, and probably other tools.
2/ If you haven’t used it before, it is a tool for non-developers and developers to build commands that automate various workflows. For example, in my current Shortcut, I am extracting all my calendar agenda items for today and dumping them out to Obsidian in my DNP.
3/ Though I have to say on iOS 15 the Shortcut building tool is super buggy. Constantly constantly crashing. I think @viticci mentioned this during the 15 beta…. Seems its not better.

But ok, you can make it work with patience.
