Motivation or Tutorial? #32

First of all, thanks for the effort you put into this project. I have only learned about the Zettelkasten method the day before yesterday, but this seems incredibly useful.

Having said that, I had some difficulties getting started with vim-zettel. There are some issues you inevitably encounter when trying to use :ZettelCapture (#10) or :ZettelNew (#27) with a user-provided template. There are workarounds, but already I have to wonder if I am using vim-zettel as intended, since surely there must be some "happy path" where everything works fine if you stick to the intended workflow.

In this regard, some tutorial would be really helpful.

Furthermore, there seems to be quite some overlap between vim-zettel und vimwiki. If all I wanted to do is create and keep updating "some knowledge graph" - because right now, with my limited knowledge, this is what I perceive the Zettelkasten to be - the vimwiki functionality already seems to cover that, albeit as a newcomer I can't appreciate the finer details. What does vim-zettel buy you in addition?

This is a really nice style for a zettelkasten tutorial . Just a repo containing a mini zettelkasten describing how the package works.

I would really like to see something like this for vim-zettel!
