I like #Heptabase for many of its features, but organizing notes is not one of them. I'm really curious how people organize their Heptabase. Tabs and tab groups feel cumbersome to me. Tags require a lot of top-down manual effort.

As much as I love working on boards to make sense of things this lack of intuitive organization makes me uncomfortable. It even prevents me from using Heptabase as a #pkm system, so I just link to certain boards from elsewhere.

Caffeine kicking in, got another #PKM study thought I feel compelled to share.

I usually use an outliner (#Logseq specifically) for knowledge capture because it's easy to indicate something's a tangent or subtopic, zoom in on important bits, and hide away bits that aren't important right now.

But when everything's new and I don't know what's important, even an outliner is too much structure. I need to dump terms and links, keep them all in view, and sort them out as I go. That's where I go for the whiteboarding tool (#KinopioClub or #Heptabase specifically).

oh i already finished this coffee time for more

I've been using #Heptabase for a few weeks now and it's great. I read a lot of PDFs and for breaking down information it's the best thing I've used so far.

But no API, no integrations and a (relatively) steep price makes me very hesitant to commit to it.

Their team is awesome tho.

Okay, I got to ask at this point. #Heptabase is being weirdly buggy to me at all odds and ends. The desktop app likes to hang up repeatedly on startup or a few minutes into operation. Similar redraw/unresponsive issues occur on the mobile app, where scrolling down after pasting plainly becomes impossible.

The stability doesn‘t feel like a 1.0 product. Even Logseq on mobile and desktop is more stable than this.

Anyone else having such issues?
