Aktualizacja w mojej ulubionej aplikacji z listami to-do. Nic nie zrozumiałam. No trudno.

[calaisreno]

All my work exists within one Scrivener file, with folders for WIP and completed works and ideas. Each story has subfolders for chapters, sub-subfolders for scenes.

To avoid cluttering up that file, I keep most of my writing notes and ramblings in Workflowy.

ooh might've finally found a project planning tool that is actually good, easy to use and doesn't have a terrible pricing model?

hiii!

for this ask game:

across all your fics, 4, 5 and 12!🩷

4. if the fic required it, what did you research in order to write it?

i researched so much fashion terminology for volta that i didn't even end up USING. but now i know what all the names for the different styles of dresses are and how best to accessorize them, so there's that. i also researched (fell down a rabbit hole) about the radio corporation of america and navy censorship of radio during wwi for strange perfections, all for a single paragraph of alastor dialogue. worth it; fascinating stuff!!

5. did you outline the fic?

most certainly not <3 the extent of the outlining i do is jotting down a note about how something ends, but sometimes i don't even do that—i'm very much at my best when i just let a story happen organically. outlining has never worked for me because if i plot it out too much, at a certain point my brain goes "oh, hey, you wrote down everything you wanted to say! you're done :)" and then suddenly i can't actually WRITE the damn thing. every wip i've abandoned has been because i planned too much in advance, which unfortunately makes me not very good at twists, callbacks, or thematic coherence over longer works. i'm killer at oneshots though.

12. what program(s) did you use to write and edit?

google docs!! i'm most familiar with it and i like its format the most. i have tried other programs like writing directly into ao3/ffnet, scrivener, workflowy, etc but none of them have been as accessible and reliable as docs for me personally!

LogSeq vs Obsidian

В последнее время появилось несколько альтернатив Obsidian, правда пока я не видел нормальных обзоров на русском, но альтернативы это всегда хорошо, в наше время особенно.

А чаще всего зарубежные блогеры в этой связи упоминают LogSeq. Это достаточно свежий Opensource проект, который как и Obsidian является менеджером заметок на базе локальных текстовых файлов в формате Markdown.

А в чём разница?

Концептуально Obsidian был придуман для Zettelkasten (хотя его совершенно не обязательно именно так использовать) и единицей смысла там является отдельная заметка. Дальше заметки можно связывать друг с другом ссылками и тегами как угодно и получается база знаний.

В LogSeq единицей смысла является не заметка, а каждый параграф текста, а точнее элемент вложенного списка.

Там вообще абсолютно вся информация хранится в виде вложенных списков, которые можно бесконечно вкладывать друг в друга, а еще превращать в задачи. Эта концепция называется Bullet Journal.

Идея вообще не новая сама по себе, если вы когда-нибудь видели, например, мобильное приложение WorkFlowy, то поймёте, о чем речь. Ему много лет и появилось оно задолго до всего этого хайпа со вторым мозгом и ментальными картами. И до сих пор успешно работает.

Вторая концепция, которую активно исповедует LogSeq это Ежедневные заметки. Каждый новый день, когда вы заходите в приложение, автоматически создается заметка с текущей датой, в которой можно размещать тот самый вложенный список. Но эту фичу можно отключить, если вам это не нужно и создавать страницы вручную.

Редактор только визуальный, т.е. нельзя править полностью сырой Markdown. Для добавления, например, блока кода надо вызывать выпадающее меню, напечатав "/" и там искать кодовый блок. Так же с видео и картинками. Это типа более юзер-френдли, потому что работает через «мастер» и ты можешь не знать кастомный синтаксис, но мне лично неудобно.

Вместо дерева папок тут есть вот такое окно со списком всех страниц, которое в Obsidian можно сделать через DataView:

Очень сильно не знаю, насколько удобно будет этим списком пользоваться, если страниц будет несколько сотен.

Что общего

Тут так же можно создавать отдельные страницы, которые не являются ежедневными заметками. Но нельзя разложить их по папкам, либо я просто не нашел, как. Можно ставить такие же вики-ссылки через двойные квадратные скобки и такие же теги через решётку. Тут так же есть визуальные графы связей между страницами и тегами и панель с отображением обратных ссылок.

Ещё возможность рисовать схемы. В Obsidian это называется Холсты, а здесь Интерактивные доски, суть одна и та же, но реализованы они хуже в части редактирования.

По итогу

Если вы хотите работать в Obsidian точно так же как в LogSeq, вам достаточно включить встроенный плагин Ежедневные заметки и ещё поставить сторонние плагины Outliner, добавляющий хоткеи и рычаги к выпадающим спискам и Zoom, который позволяет «погружаться» в элементы вложенного списка, как в отдельные виртуальные страницы с хлебными крошками, чтобы лишнее не мешало. К слову очень советую, удобные штуки. И собственно всё, получаем профит и радуемся.

А вот работать так же свободно в LogSeq, как в Obsidian у вас не очень получится. Вернее отчасти получится, но будет неудобно, из за ограничений редактора и физической невозможности отойти куда-либо от Bullet Journal. В нем просто меньше гибкости, во всяком случае пока что. Но если вам эта гибкость и не нужна и вы не пишите большие объемные заметки, а только хотите вести ежедневные дела и короткие записи, то это приложение вполне можно рассмотреть. Но я не буду.

If I knew how to code, I would create a TV/movie/podcast tracking database (web and app) -- like a cross between Goodreads and IMDB. Maybe have the ability to create your own schedule a la the old TV guide programs?

The handful of sort-of-but-not-really similar apps are either not even close, or are just really poorly designed. I get better results curating my own workflowy list.

天気は良かったが出かける気にならず、家にこもっていた。

Blueskyのアクセスキーがやっとわかったので、これでようやく投稿できるようになったと思ったけどエラーが出てうまくいかず。もう少し調べる必要がありそうだ。

家の事でやらなければいけないこと、考えなければならないことが山積みになっているので、整理するためにWorkflowyを久しぶりに起動する。何か考え事をするときはWorkflowyがやりやすい。

あとScrapboxの整理をした。Scrapboxには気になったセリフや思いつきなど全て放り込むことにした。

20時ごろ近所のスーパーへ。惣菜も弁当も何もなくすっからかんになっていた。普段なら何か残っているのに。唯一残っていた��き寿司と適当に肉を買ってきて炒めることにした。それとサラダ。ビールを2本飲む。何かドラマを見ようと思ったが遅くなりそうなのでやめた。今度ゆっくり見ることにしよう。
