Tracking your thoughts with the Zettlr Markdown editor and knowledge manager
Note Caddy
Keep your best ideas in easy reach with this simple but effective knowledge manager.
YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram can say all they want about the age of images and video. The reality is that almost all of the knowledge humankind has ever produced (and keeps producing) is still in text format. Many (if not most) of us probably read more text today than before the birth of "Web 2.0."
The problem is, the more we read and write, the harder it is to do it well – and to keep track of the most usable content in the information we have consumed.
A great way to solve this problem is Zettlr [1]. Zettlr is an open source program designed to manage all your knowledge as a collection of "notes" under your full control, privately on your own computer. These notes are stored as Markdown files – a simple, very readable, and completely open format that is very easy to edit, process, and reuse. Markdown is also compatible with scores of other open source applications, which makes it easy to integrate your notes with other tools. Zettlr can convert notes to PDF and other formats thanks to the Zettlr profiles feature (which I will describe in this article) and integration with the Pandoc document converter [2].
