![]() The thing with any artificial intelligence is that it's sufficiently complex to be opaque to humans (at first), and thus becomes an interesting puzzle. if this is actually producing better results. In any case, the semantic search suggestions were interesting inasmuch as they were different from the search results nvALT brought up, but I didn't have a project back then and couldn't evaluate if this difference was making a difference (pardon the Bateson pun ), i.e. I don't know if that limitation is still in effect. Which, of course, is a bad sign in terms of "have I processed this PDF file fully?" But not all work is about processing files I'm not a historian, but historians using DT seem to put tons of stuff into their databases at lightning speed to build a reference file.īack in the day, DT could index an external folder but then could not keep up with the changes automatically. If you need to search the full-text much later. Using DT as a more sophisticated literature and reference manager sounds like a beneficial use to find files in large collections again. Seriously, though, I'm asking Marko (author of the DEVONthink review) to chime in with some info. Well, No, Jeremy, you don't need DevonTHINK just read the documents, take notes on them, put those notes, processed appropriately with citations, into a Zettelkasten and find links and add tags manually. What I'd really love to hear, of course, is something along the lines of: 'No, Jeremy, you don't need DevonTHINK just read the documents, take notes on them, put those notes, processed appropriately with citations, into a Zettelkasten and find links and add tags manually. Does anyone else have any experience of using DevonTHINK with a Zettelkasten (the latter stored separately), or any views on how it might work (or not work)? Christian has already raised the issue of DevonTHINK's 'smart' search features being a replacement for manual, 'hands on' searching and link-making, with all that this entails for automation dangers and so on (forgive me if I'm misrepresenting your view here, Christian). I'm thinking in terms of using the former for document storage and archiving, and the latter for notes. I can’t imagine doing this on iPad.Īfter reading the article you’ll have a better idea on whether an iPad can replace your laptop.I'm just wondering about the ways in which DevonTHINK and a plain-text Zettelkasten via nvALT/The Archive might work together. Safari may have up to 10 or 15 tabs open as well. I’ll often have Ulysses, Marked, nvALT, DEVONthink, and Safari open at the same time. I prefer to do most of my writing on my iMac instead of 13″ MacBook Pro Retina because of the extra screen space. I use both many many times everyday and I’m not willing to work without them. Productivity tools like Alfred and Keyboard Maestro are a major part of my daily workflow. I’m even more convinced after reading this article. I’ve always felt that an iPad couldn’t replace my laptop. Learn about the changes in technology since they last made a laptop purchase. ![]()
