Obsidian.

I copy/paste what I think are the "atoms" of the thing to learn. And i build a small graph of interconnected .md files in Obsidian.

To me, it is very important to break the medium that brings the information into a graph that suits you the most. (call that process my knowledge ETL, and the result .md files my personal knowledge graph :)

PS: the funny thing is that you indeed refactor your graph when you come back to it with more knowledge. You usually do not remove things, but reorganize it in a better way. Very interesting process...

Thank you for this - I'm really like the way you've described your process and am going to steal your method for myself :).

Obsidian looks really cool - I'm doing a lot of projects in a very chaotic manner and have been wanting something for personal knowledge management, that graph / links thing is really cool.

I chuckled when you mentioned refactoring your graph being an interesting process - because I've done similar but with notes and folders no visual linking system just pretty much putting notes in the right folder/book/whatever I'm using - and it's a right pain in the ass compared to this way.

Be sure to know how to put iframe in Obsidian pages. And make them folded by default. Oh, And you should be amazed at the capability of the tool to keep HTML format when copy/pasting a part of a web page.

Btw, always keep track of the resource that you copy/paste from.
