Back in my windows days, I used Metapad for this(https://liquidninja.com/metapad/). I even changed the notepad.exe file to metapad.

I'm didn't understand "Symmetry and continuity impart incredibly strong constraints on systems." Can you elaborate? Give an example if possible?

Re:Ask HN: How Do You Learn?
on Saturday September 11, 2021 @02:48PM (#28494679)
This is my process to learn a new skill...
1. Research on the topic using multiple sources.
2. Collate all the interesting and useful information into one location
3. Condense this information into a blog post/article(optional: publish it in a 1. learning in public system - there might be errors in this)
4. Create a plan to use this knowledge in a project
5. Do a retrospective after using the knowledge and seeing results - What worked, what didn't work, what can be improved.
6. Add these points to your article
7. Use the knowledge in another project(ideally, in a different contexts) and do the last 3 steps. You might have to do it 3-4 times before you have a decent understanding of it.

I'm interested in this - and there is no email in your profile.

So true! This has bugged me enough to create a introduction to Zettelkasten myself - just one page - https://binnyva.com/zettelkasten/ (wanted to keep it under 500 - but it went to 700 words).
Too many my friends are getting the idea Zettelkasten is complicated. When anyone express interest, I make it a point to tell them its a very simple concept. The complication is more in creating the behavior of taking notes rather than in using the system.
Re:Ask HN: Do you have a personal wiki?

I use Obsidian - just markdown files. I use a Gatsby tool to convert it to a static site and upload it to my Digital Garden - https://notes.binnyva.com/
> Obsidian is adding features that most editors don't support which is kind of a vendor lock in
I'm assuming you mean block level referencing? Or Frontmatter at the beginning of the Markdown? I haven't found this to be an issue - but worst case, you can choose not to use it.
Re:Ask HN: What Are You Learning?

Learning about Personal Knowledge Management systems. This includes Zettelkasten, PARA, Building a Second Brain and other systems. On the look out for more frameworks in this space.

A web app that will give you a list of questions that can be used to break ice or know others well.
You can be with just one or more friends - once person goes thru the questions till they select one. Then everyone answers that question.
I was introduced to this concept by this amazing video by Wisecrack: Kanye and The End of Reality – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfMe0dsxk_Q
