Zettlr review
It’s nice, but it seems to have a lot of features that I don’t really use. More generally, the smoothness of navigation that The Archive has (with the keyboard shortcuts, easy navigation, use of the omnibar) is crucial to me, and it’s unfortunately missing. This is also why I don’t really like Obsidian either 202006031443.
Also seems like there’s a grab bag of features, with no cohesive plan or theme mapping them all together. The pomodoro function seems wholly unnecessary.
Also, I can’t get my The Archive links to work properly in there. That might make sense, given that these apps don’t have a uniform guideline that they follow, but what’s more, I can’t get the autocomplete links to work either??? I’m not sure how this very core functionality is supposed to work, but it isn’t clear.
Finally, and this is something that I also observed in Obsidian 202006031443, I made a bunch of changes in the Zettlr’s preferences, but they didn’t save for some reason. Small, buggy stuff like indicates the difference between a polished, thoughtful developer and someone who’s more amateury. I’m more than happy to support The Archive if he keeps iterating on this.
