> Zettelkasten is an interesting thing, but more as a curiosity

Zettelkasten is just an idea, and a great one. I don't know what you think it is, but all these apps - Obsidian, Roamresearch, Logseq, Org-roam - are based on that idea.

I mean, it was a note taking system using a physical card catalog designed by Niklas Luhmann to help with his social science research.

The goal of my notes is so far from this that I found the ideas interesting but unrelated to how I use Roam, etc.
