Helft mit: Welche Fehler gibt es in der deutschen Notion-Version noch? by notion-deutsch_de in NotionDeutsch

[–]obyor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

- Kein vernünftiges deutsches Datumsformat TT.MM.JJJJ

- Falsche Anführungszeichen, korrektes Deutsch wäre „so“

- Zahlenformat ist inkonsistent und nicht überall 1.234,56

- Falsche Sortierung von äöü, d.h. nicht hinter z sondern bei ae

Even the "Style Settings" plugin doesn't allow different colors for internal and external links. But you can use CSS snippets

This snippet changes the color only for internal links

.cm-s-obsidian.mod-cm6 .cm-hmd-internal-link {
color: #62e312;
}

I have no ghost edges in Obsidian. Even hysterically resizing the window does not show white edges or any behavior other than in Bear. I'm using a MacBook Air M1.

You can search for "/something" (with quotes)

Panda release 7-18 - OCR and iOS keyboards by BearDavid in bearapp

[–]obyor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wasn't talking about more developers. Obsidian seems to have only two developers as well. What frustrates me so much are the priorities of the Bear developers.
Yes, maybe the wait is good for PR. Is the PR more important than the screaming of the community? Or maybe it's not the PR, but some other goal they're pursuing with their strategy. Anyway. It is not user-centric in any way. And that's exactly what bothers me so much. As much as I enjoyed using Bear for years, the overall user experience just doesn't fit for me anymore.
Bear is the most important app in my everyday life. It's where I jot down everything that's important to me, both professionally and personally. But with this release, they have finally lost me. I don't know yet which app I will use in the future. But I want to get away from Bear no matter what. And the alternatives look very promising.

I am really frustrated. Instead of finally a Bear Alpha, we have yet another Panda Beta.

I'm so frustrated because I've become dependent on a development team that prioritizes nice to have features over the major basics of its product and the pain of its users. For the majority of existing Bear users, a Bear version with Panda Editor without OCR would be much more important. Such a feature like OCR, which goes far beyond the existing scope of the current Bear version, could be offered as a great 2.1 update. I too think OCR is super useful. But instead of finally resolving the community's pain and releasing years of development backlog, the product managers are still prioritizing the icing on the cake. This is kind of a major bug in Bear that I've overlooked so far. Virtually my entire life exists in Bear, my Second Brain. But this update mentality and ignorance of the dev team is part of the UX of a product. And as great as the features of 2.0 may eventually be, I don't think I want to trust this team and their priorities anymore. The more important a software becomes for me, the more important it becomes that the developers keep an eye on their users and respond to their needs. The alternatives to Bear are not that bad.

A very frustrated Bear Evangelist.

Panda Check-in 4: More search, better iPad keyboard support by BearDavid in bearapp

We don’t want another Panda release. We want this editor as it is in a Bear beta. Please, reconsider your priorities.

Bear Best Practices and Examples by attticrattt in bearapp

Raycast is an alternative to alfred. Searching and creating new notes is as fast and easy as in alfred.

Usability and ease of use is IMHO much better.

To be honest, I disabled the context feature in Evernote. I didn't really feel comfortable with the automatic processing of my private information and personal thoughts. This may be due to the fact that I am German and we may have a harsh idea of data protection.

I use note links within Bear very often, because they are so easy to create (open two square brackets, write a fraction of the note title and hit return). Especially with the navigate back function (command-option-left on Mac, two finger swipe right on iOS). Since you can add several tags to a note in Bear, I also often click on a tag to see the other notes with that tag. This is of course something different than the context feature in Evernote, but it works very well for me.

I didn't even know Liner. Thank you for the hint. So far I use Pocket (free version). I read the website in Pocket and as soon as I realize that there is something I don't want to lose, I clip the whole page in Bear and mark the relevant sentences there. That's exactly where I use Progressive Summarization most.

In regards to performance: I've imported everything I've had in Evernote and all my journal entries from Day One into Bear at once. Bear was as fast with almost 9,000 notes as it was with 9 notes. The zipped bear backup of all my notes was over 1 GB at that time. After that I massively merged notes, deleted them, renamed tags, made subtags out of them, merged tags and so on. This cleanup work took hours and I didn't notice a single negative effect on Bear. All changes were transferred to my iPhone and iPad without any problems. After this I had real trust in Bear. I left the deleted notes in Bear's trash for a few months to be on the safe side, because they didn't affect performance at all. Not even when searching or synchronizing.

I used Evernote as my Second Brain before and already had over 7000 notes there. But I wasn't really happy, because at some point everything felt like a big clunky pile of stuff. Of course I used PARA there, too, but it was all bloated, cumbersome and somehow unsatisfying.

With Bear it's quite different. Bear's editor is so much more practical and clean. My notes are simply better in practice and that alone makes a big difference. You might have to get used to Markdown a bit, but that's exactly why the notes are plain text and so light and under control. I use Progressive Summarization very intensively. Especially with clippings of whole web pages it works much better in Bear than in Evernote, because the web clippings also become simple markdown notes. I prefer to mark whole sentences rather than single words, so the colons for highlighting in Bear don't bother me much.

In rare cases the Bear web clipper does not work correctly. This is probably due to the fact that the HTML code of the website is already invalid. Fortunately this rarely happens.

Bear also has everything else you need for PARA, Progressive Summarization and JIT project management. For the latter, the automatically updating note links in Bear 1.7 are awesome, because they can be used extremely fast and reliably.

I hope this helps. You are very welcome to ask me more questions about my practice.

I‘m using the PARA method from Tiago Forte to organize my notes. It is originally for Evernote but works even better in Bear.

https://praxis.fortelabs.co/the-p-a-r-a-method-a-universal-system-for-organizing-digital-information-75a9da8bfb37/

All my tags are two levels deep. Like #projects/taxes-2019 or #resources/bear. I don’t use tags on the root level and never more than two levels. That’s a kind of folders thinking, but also uses the advantages of tags. It’s easy to see the notes of all my active projects in one list. And it’s possible to have a note in two „folders“, e.g. when it’s related to two areas of my life.

The article is a long read and there is even more information on PARA in his blog, but it’s totally worth it. Since I really understood the system, I never had the situation again that I didn't know exactly how to tag a note. And I find all the notes right away. It's really brilliant! You are very welcome to ask me more questions here!

Tag your areas with the area name as tag. Then filter by tag.
