• pros
  • good with table
• cons
  • less intuitive compared to yaml
    yaml
• pros
  • best with table
    • properties maxxing - query dream
  • flexible property’s parameters
    • good with dynamic parameters
  • track what beneficial to query but not that useful to make note about them e.g. yan et al
• cons
  • ez to mistype (property’s parameters)
  • can be bloated
  • customization hell
    link
• pros
  • context rich
  • good with dynamic parameters
• cons
  • harder to edit on table?

limitations

too much repeat = bad pattern
e.g.

author: somchai
published_date: 2018
---
written by [/[/somchai]]
in 2018

hassle edit: if you want to change the author’s name
You have to change both YAML and the note about that author

filename: video-chrisza-rag
type: s-video
author: chrisza

Properties hassle: fill the same info again and again

The system musn’t forced me to fill not that insightful informations

Conflict

Some author: I wanna write note about them
Some author: I don’t care
Arguement: you shouldn’t use one size fit all approach
Argument 2: YAML must help you to “write more”, “connect more information”

• So YAML must help me write a note about that author?

Factor:
The system must forced you to do 2 things

• view the big picture
• navigate, gathering, and reinforce the context and the relationship between notes

unused ideas

links inside YAML:

author: [/[/somchai]]

bloated

possible implemention

old:

filename: media_type-author-name

YAML
date: 
tags: media type
---

up: ...

new:

filename: name

YAML
date:
type: ... or tags: ... (determine format)
by: ...
url: ...
status: ...
---
up: ...

new paradigm

• diff note type -> diff YAML
• diff required YAML -> diff note types
• cluster scout based on their YAML
• make diff template for each note type

principles

• lv. of importance
  • YAML: useful + need for query
  • a bit more:

thinking

• musics
  • filename
    • goal: many musics has ambiguous name, need to make it clear that this specific note is a music
• book
  • filename
    • 1984
  • tags
    • book
• not only literature notes, I also need structural in perma notes too
  • up, backlinks

implementation

• musics
  • file name: music name
  • date: date I create this note
  • by: band or artist
