I am very interested in starting a zettelkasten and bought the book hoping to find guidelines on how to proceed. The book is OK but I think that its main points could have been made in less than ten pages. It is clear that the author used a set of mostly redundant notes and turned them into a book. I found your article very informative and I feel now ready to attempt the creation of my zettelkasten. What do you think about using Zotero for the literature notes? And what do you think of Obsidian?

@edtechanalyst I personally use Zotero for literature notes. I haven't found a compelling system for a zettelkasten yet. I had issues with both roam-research and notion. I am intrigued by Obsidian (I hadn't yet heard about them) and will have to try it out!
