If you enjoy sharing info around knowledge management I made a discord community "Awesome Knowledge Management"[1] and there is also Brett's awesome list for knowledge management[2] for more resources!

You should have a look at Foam: https://github.com/foambubble/foam

I started using Foam[0] a few years ago, but the more I used it, the more I dropped all the tedious bits, and it became nothing more than a big, evolving markdown repo.

When I switched from vscode (back) to vim, it has worked as well or better than it did before. I follow my own rules. I like the Zettelkasten idea of one idea per card, but if I put more related things in the same .md file, that's OK. I didn't like the flat directory structure, and so I have dirs organized by category. My /bar directory is inside my /cooking directory, and for whatever reason, that makes sense to me. Ripgrep doesn't care, and I always find what I'm looking for.

This markdown hierarchy, that still lives in a repo called "foam", has become indispensable to me.

Probably use foam https://github.com/foambubble/foam

So I switched to FOAM and it's just clean & organized markdown files in a git repo. Self host a code server instance and I can reference it without installing something to the work machine.

Recently I started to configure my digital garden. Foam is a good option, Hugo Doks, No Style Please, Git-Wiki, Researcher, Thinkspace, and other themes are good for zetteltasken pages.

I use foam and VSCode and regularly am wow'd with what I am having it do next. I feel I am still just getting started too.

I've wondered about using obsidian with foam as a web editing fallback.

Since the data store is markdown and can be synced with Git, you can already work with an Obsidian vault using Foam in VSCode. I do.

You do need to align some options in each, such as file naming, a header, a particular style of links, and ensure frontmatter behavior. All necessary settings exist.

This supports basic static file and links functionality, not extended data tools etc., of course.
