Bro, new to your channel and subscribed. I loved Heptabase . One question, Does it allow highlights to drag and drop for PDFs which have handwritten content ? Or does it only work highlights for digital text content PDFS only ?

Have you moved all your notes from Obsidian to Heptabase ? Do you use the Zettelkasten method in Heptabase ?

I feel that establishing a record in this way is very slow. Does it interrupt the flow of thoughts or stream of consciousness?

First of all, congratulations on overcoming your illness. How do you compare Logseq and Heptabase?

This was super helpful! I'm getting ready to start my first zettelkasten and this gave me a much better idea of how to structure it so it makes sense to me.

Did Luhmann write down his thoughts directly on note cards? Or did he write those down in a notebook, edit them and then transfer them to the note cards?

What if I am not working on academic subjects?

it's a niche example but yes it seems that logseq should allow editing of the text while maintaining the ref link. heptabase looks more elegant but it costs also a lot more

if you don't include biology, psychology and evolution in 1:27 then you are just getting misguided by those topics, is like trying to study architecture without soil mechanics or physics. you also should add some cybernetics to it.

Example. You have a 10000 notes Zettelkasten. And you decide to let me use it. I have ONE idea and ONE note to put it in to your Zettelkasten. I have no idea what your Zettelkasten is about and which notes it contains. I do not know any relations existing between notes. I have no idea about the context surrounding each of your notes. Just BLANK MIND. How do i put my note in your Zettelkasten so it will be mindfully connected to as much of your existing notes as it can be? Please describe a step by step process of my interaction with your's Zettelkasten.

Your dry humor made me instantly subscribe. Never change!

How did you add that green dot at 1:37? I tried doing ,gr but that didn't do anything.

i hear a man calling me a loser, i immediately hit subscribe.

Prof P, thank you so much for these videos. You've given me clarity by examples. I'm less daunted by ZK now because of your systematic illustration. Also your dry humor and deadpan style of presentation is a huge plus :-)

Hit it!

I couldn’t agree more about the plug-ins-and that’s when they work! Then there are all those hours spent trying to figure out why one of them is not working as intended. No, thank you.

You are too funny. Thank you for making this.

Fantastic explanation of these concepts! What are you using to create the mind map that shows your sub-topics?

This decision is not bad. But Marginnote is much more powerful, more convenient and functional. And there is also no subscription and affiliate links))

You had me at vast horde of people.

I've seen Rayen holiday, and Robert Greene dedicate a Zettelkasten for each book.... do you guys set a full Zettelkasten per project? sure there's no right or wrong way to do it but I'm interested to know your feedback (for those who does it), how do you navigate managing two or three Zettelkasten at once, specially when there's overlapping or contradiction

Minute 3:13, Tony Benn quote. Did you read "can find money for killing Germans" or is it an acustic issue on my side?

I agree with this. I myself am getting tired of Obsidian and its lack of core features, and heavy reliance on community plugins. Once I finish my degree I’ll be leaving Obsidian because it just doesn’t meet my needs anymore. It’s too “janky/clunky” for me

I take forever to take notes because of an intense fear that if my notes don't capture everything the literature says, something very bad is going to happen. Your content has partially helped, but I would like to know how to get past that fear, when I already know that is what's stopping me from creatively writing what I read in my own words.... Any advice? I couldn't find anyone else who might be able to answer this, as I could really relate to how I fall prey to collector's fallacy and then I tried doing the reminders on paper instead of highlighting (which still takes long to finish and then I forget the content and I need to read it all over for details I may miss) and then I tried implementing RTL but I'm really not getting anywhere because it's all taking away my time in exchange for no tangible work done.

Thank you! I'm pretty new in the zettelkasten world after having read Ahrens and Shepherd's books, with only two hundred or so cards so far. I started with only two subjects as main level and a 10 or so branches that emerged quite naturally (literature, which is my area of expertise after my phd and experience as a uni lecturer, and psychology, which is the area i want now to specialize in order to change my professional path), your dive in structure is pretty interesting, thank you for this serie!

You can change the text when you import it from a pdf into a page, you just go into the file made in logseq and all the highlights are there to change.

Nice. You can do the same thing in Notion for free.

love the digestion analogy. gross lol but it works really well

Is there any way to extract PDF metadata?

Need help picking app. Are you done with obsidian? How is heptabase mobile?

I was looking of how to create my categories and I saw the video which is very explanatory.May we have your mindmap of categories and sub-categories for zettelkasten?

nice one, i also use similar method to u in hepta for my zettelkasten. i'm curious how u use the whiteboard/mindmap feature for maximizing the zettelkasten method..

Love your content!! Helped me really get into Heptabase. Thanks! Just a tip - blink, pause and look around more. It makes the fact that you're reading, either a prompter or script, notable when you stare without blinking or taking a breath while delivering your information. An issue I'm learning to fix on my channel, @daffdil. I zone out and it becomes super monotoned and surgical.

Tagles 😂 You made my day.

Amazing set up. What do the numbers mean and how do you generate them on your claim cards?

Gracias por la informacion

Thank you for this video! I had no idea that Heptabase tables are now this powerful. Not as powerful as Notion’s tables (yet), but that’s fine with me since Heptabase is soooooo much more well-suited for doing research than Notion and, it seems, any other app currently on offer.

curious about that claim that israel is not an apartheid state 🤔

Thanks Perry, extremely useful. Great advice on this massive productivity learning curve.

Perry, the Heptabase community, current and future users, thank you for your time and effort with all of your Heptabase videos. You are definitely "doing us a solid" ;)

Perry, this is tremendously helpful! would you mind I posting this tutorial to a Taiwanese/Mandarin heptabse discussion group? And I like how hilarious the intro of this video is !

I found that using the library catalog system is the best for me. I use two systems, one for everything else and one for academia.

Great TUT. I am Looking forward to seeing the TAGLE follow up. I'm still trialling the software but am finding it very much my way of thinking for what i need. I've been in Notion for the past few months and have seen the power of databases and a little internal firework when off in my brain when I saw how you used Heptabase's databases. hope your next installment is nearly finished??? with Heptabase being so young, there's not much out there in the way of Tutorials and practically nothing I can find on Databases.

Just ignore customization if it is a distraction. Not really a reason to tell people if a tool will work for them. However, if it doesn't do what you need, just say that first. Rather that it's strength is really a weakness. It's weakness is it weakness.

Really intrigued about Heptabase, but on the Android to me it is unbearable. I can add cards but I cannot assign them embedd them in whiteboards, I can only do this from the PC. Also cannot turn Journal text into cards from the Android. Hopefully they can work on this in the near future, but until then I cannot fully switch since I like to take notes and capture media from my phone as well.

This a great workflow and explanation video, thank you. What is your definition of claim page, like if I start to write a new articles or blog, and doing research in the mean time, does the eventual blog post fall under a whiteboard or fall into a card ?

Can I you pls make more of it? I subscribed to your mail list just in case you had uploaded your vault, but it wasn't there sadly. Hope you continue!
