This captures what makes these tools appealing to me too. I renamed my “notes” directory to “thoughts” because it’s where I now do all of my thinking.

Logseq seems to suit my brain more than Obsidian, but with either tool the best feature is the cross-linking of ideas. I will sometimes forget where I wrote a note, but I remember that it linked to other ideas, so I can go to them to find the one I am looking for.

And I especially like finding out I have written about an idea before, and that I can see how my thinking has evolved since then.
