       | This looks potentially interesting.

       | How does it scale? Would 200.000 notes be a problem? Does it
       | handle pdf, epub or enex?
       | 
       | and most importantly
       | 
       | Search, what does it have and how good is it? (Is it better than
       | evernote)?

       | I still feel like Roam Research did it best. Conor was truly a
       | pioneer in the digital note taking field. I still miss the times
       | when all of it was new, it was so exciting and everything felt
       | revolutionary. A lot of Roam users are still using it even though
       | the pricing hasn't changed a bit and neither has the design, but
       | I don't think there's anything better even now. Zettelkasten is
       | severely underrated and misunderstood. Notion and Evernote are
       | disgusting, and PARA is a nonsensical grift. If you need more
       | context regarding that, I recommend reading Conor's Twitter
       | threads and watching interviews and livestreams featuring him.

         | Tried to figure it out a few months ago and it seems like they
         | just disappeared?
