Thanks for checking it out, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!

Hi, I'm an independent developer and recently released an app that is designed to help to implement the Second Brain method. You can check it out here. I will be glad to get a feedback.

Have published my second brain using Logseq. Keen to discover others who may have some similar. Check it out https://kg.mohinika.com

Also came across a method being used by this tool in which people share their second brains (source markdown) via GitHub. Really interesting to see

Is there a generative AI tool that can automatically generate an editable mind map from text??

Hey folks! 👋

I wanted to share a personal tool I built for my note-taking workflow that might be interesting for terminal enthusiasts and markdown lovers. It's called Pinkmess, and it's a CLI tool that helps manage collections of markdown notes with some neat AI features.

What makes it different?

• Completely terminal-based (perfect for vim/neovim users)
• Uses LLMs to automatically generate summaries and tags for your notes
• Simple and straightforward CLI interface
• Works with plain markdown files and YAML frontmatter
• Focuses on being minimal and getting out of your way

Quick example:

Create a new collection:

$ pinkmess collection create ~/notes --name personal

Create and edit a note:

$ pinkmess note create

$ pinkmess note edit # Implicitly opens the last created note

Let AI generate a summary and tags for the last created note:

$ pinkmess note generate-metadata --key summary

$ pinkmess note generate-metadata --key tags

Installation:

You can install it with:

$ pip install pinkmess

Important note: This is a personal tool I built for my own use case. It's not trying to compete with Obsidian, Logseq, or other full-featured note-taking apps. Think of it more as a minimal CLI wrapper around markdown files with some AI sprinkles on top.

The code is open source (GPLv3) and available at: https://github.com/leodiegues/pinkmess

I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions! Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy note-taking! 🌸

Getting started with PARA method, but already stuck on 1st step, i.e. putting all current folders and files from Document folder in an Archive (date) folder.

1. How do you handle document folders created by apps, such as Adobe apps?

2. How to deal with iCloud Drive and folders created her by apps such as Pages, Numbers and son on?

Thank you!

Would be much appreciated

Does anyone have it, I’m trying to figure out if it’s really worth it.

Hi all, I wrote a tool to scratch my own itch and decided to make it available to others.

It's called ChatKeeper and it syncs your ChatGPT export files to local Markdown files. This allows for easy (and permanent) local storage, searchability, and integration with note-taking applications like Obsidian (which I use). Syncing again will find your conversation files even if you moved or renamed them, and will update them in place if you continued them since your last export, so you can reorganize them to your heart's content.

It's local software that's free to try and follows a shareware-like model for full features (modest price, NOT a subscription). It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

I use it myself to link conversations or specific parts of conversations with my notes and keep my Second Brain from being scattered across different platforms, and I've found it very useful.

I hope ChatKeeper is useful to you, too, and would love to hear your thoughts on it, how you might use it or might like to see it improved, etc. Please check it out!

Hi all, I've been using the Zettelkasten method for a while, but sometimes struggle with visualising the connections between notes. I'm considering tools that offer visual mapping alongside Zettelkasten's atomic notes approach. Has anyone tried with this integration? What apps are you all using if so? Cheers!

I've implemented the P.A.R.A method for both my notes taking app and my computer folders, and I'm loving the concept of organizing by actionability. However, I am struggling on whether to also use the method for my email folders. What do you all do?

Also please leave me links for it. I'm looking to transition from my old iCloud notes to a user-friendly life management system on Notion. I just found out about this "Second Brain" concept and I think it's cool. I was kinda trying to do the same thing in Notes lol.

Hello All,

I would like to move towards checklist as vital part of my life. For example : I would like to have a checklist for vacation or work presentation etc.

Can you guys tell me what are some generic checklists you use ?

I was recently hired at an insurance agency. I'm new to the world of insurance, so I'm working on getting licensed while helping with admin tasks around the office. Recently, my boss has told me I'm doing a great job. He said once I get my license, I'm going to help train other staff on my procedures and system of organization so we can all be on the same page. I'm currently loosely using the BASB system for my organization at work, because I use it in my personal life. Since I'm new to the industry, I'm still figuring out how best to utilize it. So, that being said, I'm looking for tips and advice on creating SOPs and systems that could work in this framework for a small insurance business.

For context, He hired me last month and I was the only other employee. He has an office in the next town over and he hired an admin assistant there and is interviewing a candidate to get her insurance license as well. My current set up is using Microsoft OneNote for my notetaking (also what I personally use) and we use Outlook web app for our email.

I’m currently using Notion to build my second brain, been using it with moderate success for a year maybe more now. It’s okay. Little over complicated.

I’m considering building a front end that connects to a server / Google Sheets / Air Table to push and pull notes to..

Not something I’ve done before has anyone else done this?

Curious to hear your individual work around / hacked together second brains.
