What a Digital Zettelkasten Needs

Which No App I’ve Found Currently Offers — I recently wrote a short article about the “best app for my zettelkasten.” And that was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Because it wasn’t really an app. One reason for that is because the best app doesn’t exist. At least, not for me. So I thought I’d publish what I would need…

Žižek in Disorder
