Collection of helpful resources on the Zettelkasten method using Markdown editors.

Editors

There are tons of tool to kickstart your personal knowledge management, some I am aware of are:

• Obsidian: free to use, lots of community plugins
• Zettlr: open-source, focused on writing and publishing
• Roam: paid, geared towards research
• Foam: open-source editor inspired by Roam
• Dendron: free, geared towards developers (runs in VSCode)
• Notion: free/paid, not really Markdown, but similar philosophy; geared towards teams
