App founded by [[Dan Koe]] and [[Matthew Ao]] I respect their problem solving on a creator-focused second brain app, one that has an opinionated workflow. [[Kortex in Obsidian]] ## Obsidian clone - Folders on left is fil explorer - Note is there - Right pane is strange new worlds - Right sidebar - Top is properties - No elements unfortunately, but that would be through meta-bind plugin if anything (no duplicates), dupes would require callouts - Bottom is connections ## Course - Philosophy reminds me a lot of [[Linking Your Thinking]] - Their [[Synthesizer]] model is also highly similar - Pain points he adresses - Originality - Creating instead of consuming - Action-oriented capturing - ! Importance for cultivating your own ideas ### Brainstorming process - Actually rather solid process for brainstorming - Using elements as mini goals and organization techniques for your writing - Helps with maintaining some structure - The different types - When creating a new writing piece, you reuse existing writings but as an element - Then, when you start trying to think on what to add, you just have to mix and match elements #### Template - Fill out elements for clarity - Capture ideas to this document at any time - Open a new document and connect it to this page - Open this template in a pane to reference as you write - Open other documents or highlights as you need them - [[Writing persuasion elements]]
