| notes in my "slipbox") 2) Explore a subject in more depth

| Tbh I use it rather differently, mostly for programming stuff.
| It makes sense to have the following things connected, for
| example: visitor pattern, std::visit, overload lambda template.
| Makes it easy to find related concepts and tricks. All bite
| sized snippets and explanations.
|
| It's also great for storing rarely used commandline snippets
| and tricks in a structured way, for things I use once in
| several years. Picocom and screen tricks and configs neatly
| connected to pages for old lab and network equipment, MIDI
| sysex tools and tricks connected to docs about certain FX
| processors and synths,...
|
| It's especially useful when you simply forget that you even had
| solutions for certain things, and that certain things are
| connected. I did so many vastly different things over the years
| that this seems to be the only way to efficiently jump back
| into something I haven't done in a while. I have a huge
| personal wiki (2000+ articles in vimwiki) which I'm now
| migrating to this tool, and there's one huge difference: I'm
| never sitting there thinking "How do I jam this new article
| into the wiki hierarchy... Oh, it's equally important for both
| of these categories...". I just jot it down in vim, add a
| couple tags, maybe a link or two, maybe find similar articles
| for inspiration if I don't know what to link to, and done.
| Extremely fast compared to a big vimwiki.

| with Vim. It's probably the fastest set of zettelkasten
| utilities. Heavily inspired by sirupsen/zk, but faster, more
| powerful and more consistent interface.
