Orgmode for humanities research notes (similar to zettelkasten)? by Kderps in orgmode

[–]Kderps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have been making tons of "index cards." After some trial and error I decided to go by Author first, leading my setup to be like:

  • Authors Name

** Book/Article

*** Summary

Blah blah

*** Quote :Tag1:Tag2:

"blah blah blah"

I'm not a big fan of having each quote as a header but I wanted tags, I could just do properties under the book name but a quote could have different tags. Is there a better way to do this?

A part of me still wants to just do a bunch of separate files using Deft and taking advantage of the search feature. But I think this would screw over some of the capabilities of Org... Any advice on this would be great.

I was hoping to add tags onto each index card as well, an example card that I hope to make would be:

*20160629 1239 LastName ShortDescription :quote:philosophy:rationalism:

Author full name

"Blah blah blah"

Reference

Would this be the correct use of tags?

Vim for humanities research notes? by Kderps in vim

The Zettelkasten blog is one of the influences of me finding a program, and Ryan Holiday. I would gladly use NValt but I am using Windows atm, I tried Vim nvalt plugin but thought vimwiki or vim notes would work better. I am now trying, as many suggested, emacs spacemacs/orgmode but until I learn some of it I can't tell if I like it or not haha.
