zk VS wiki.vim

I use org-mode with the journal plugin, but I'm soon going to switch to zk[0]. My technique is called interstitional journaling[1], and I just keep track of my location (I travel a lot) and the date, which gets generated by org. You can set up an interstitional journal in anything though, Logseq[2] supports it out of the box.

Personally, I'm using zk for now. What's nice about is that it aims to be a common-denominator between all the popular zettelkasten markdown formats out there. So the notes you write with it will be forward-compatible with many other note-taking apps like Obsidian.

If you want to go full terminal workspace - you could use Zk (https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk) + editor of your choice. It is just markdown under the hood, but it comes with quite a few good features that majority of the tools have now (tags, backlinks, front matter, templates, etc). I wrote a post about my setup literally yesterday (it was a bit more editor oriented though) https://www.reddit.com/r/HelixEditor/comments/144x6r3/escape_hatch_xd/

I selected Helix as it is phenomenally fast, I love out of the box feature set, key bindings are intuitive and it looks sick :) To manage my notes I found ZK - very cool CLI with extensibility in mind.

For now, with a couple aliases wrapping nb as I try it out. I'm also planning to give https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk a shot, it looks to be almost exactly what I'm looking for an offers a vim plugin to boot.

mds is grepping notes' names and items' names (links and code snippets). and also moving forward/backward along the graph. I used to use https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk, it was messing me up, giving too much info, each line of every file.

Big fan of zk and zk-nvim. The biggest drawback was that link insertion depended on cmp, but now there's work to add linking as a direct LSP command. I've been using that since it's been merged in, and it makes creating and linking notes on the fly a breeze!

Shameless plug: there's also [wiki.vim](https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim/), which I believe is starting to be a real contender to Vimwiki.

Regardless: In my experience, Vim + wiki with some additional plugins for fast searching and navigation is a very good combo!

I've just released version 0.7 of wiki.vim. This is a minor release. For details, see the release notes.

There's really interesting discussion on wiki.vim's issue tracker which we had few years ago. I think it's worth advertising because there are many more details and ideas for notetaking systems: https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim/issues/101

You could use Markdown based notes with https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim/.

I found the discussion in #289 and wiki-ft.vim#14 pretty interesting. I've been using wiki-ft.vim because every markdown plugin seems to break in some way (broken conceal, broken table highlighting, no injections). I know wiki-ft is not great, but at least it's consistent.

There are also other improvements and bug fixes as outlined in the release notes.

Plug: https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim

I started off with VimWiki, but now use wiki.vim. You won’t regret it if you do the same. The developer is a very nice guy.

Perhaps you might also consider wiki.vim combined with regular Markdown and Pandoc? I've written a possibly interesting guide on talking notes here.
