Grosses Update bei #Zettlr: Version 3.0 ist von der Leine gelassen
#zettlr #pkm #opensource #Wissensmanagement #markdown
Tried #Zettlr on Windows. Instantly not a fan. Menus are non standard, preferences window is bizarre, it just has the feel of being written in some odd programming language. Also, "Mother tongue".. really? Uninstalled.
#Zettlr 3.0 was released today. I’m looking forward to trying it as a general-purpose markdown editor to supplement #Obsidian, because you can use .md files anywhere in your system, not just in folders designated as vaults. https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/releases/tag/v3.0.0

Also it's worth noting, the only one I would call a competent word processor is #Zettlr; the others don't do substitutions like two dashes for an em-dash (–) and three for a long dash (—), or replacing periods with an ellipsis... y'know, standard features of a word processor.
I think a large part of the problem is that markdown is a text formatting language used for so many non-prose applications, and I'm realistically looking for a "prose workbench".
Okay, so between my two contestants for #markdown editor with word processing abilities, I am really baffled at my choices:
- #Obsidian: really intended for smaller notes, has some Notion-like cross-document linking and database aspects
- #Typora: Handles large documents, but only one file per window. Requires theme editing to change the font
- #Zettlr: Handles multiple files well, including linkages between them, but is slow as fuck on 27k word files. Gives you a CSS edit box.

I'm trying to write in #Zettlr. It's getting ... interesting. Namely, deleting text is getting dicey. Laggy, even.
i opened a small file, wrote some text, and deleted it by holding down backspace.
It deletes cleanly and smoothly, not hanging until I let go. Apparently a 27k word document lags this interface hard enough that it struggles to be interactive.
@punko @dapprvilln @alxlg @Pantsu @obsidianmd Last I heard, the stable release of #Zettlr 3 is scheduled for Friday.
Whether it will fit as a task manager will remain to be seen but off the top of my head a few questions to whoever feels called upon to answer them:
- Is a mobile app planned? I use Obsidian on all my devices including smartphones.
- I see an impressive list of export options to all sorts of formats, but Asciidoc is not included. I like Asciidoc. Is there a plan to add a conversion option to that format?
- Is an option for community provided plugins planned?
Thanks for any answers.
Just learned about Zettlr (when searching for an open source Obsidian alternative) and find it actually quite beautiful.
I use Obsidian as a note taking app and plan to use it increasingly also as a task manager. Notes are shared among family to keep everyone up-to-date.
Currently I can see Zettlr as the right app to browse and where necessary edit my reading list created with markdownload.

@ellane @aboutgrau I’ll second that regarding use cases.
Back when I wrote code for a living, #BBEdit was my daily driver. But since my writing has become long form and invariably needing to be referenced, #Zettlr and more recently #Obsidian are my go to applications.
@EpiphanicSynchronicity @obsidianmd Also, plaintext plus version control is lovely. I've got a private repo that I use for testing different platforms (like #ObsidianMD, #roamresearch backups, #logseq, #SilverBulletMD, #zettlr, and others), and it's great to see the evolution over time.
It also makes me less hesitant to do evergreen pruning, knowing that it's all there.

Maybe try #Zettlr (for long documents) and in a subfolder keep the Logseq files for things that take advantage of Logseq features
