Notion-like TABLES in Heptabase
⭐️ My Heptabase affiliate link: get.heptabase.com/o43a0z03nms2 ⭐️
Note: If you use my link and end up signing up for a Heptabase subscription, I get a cut of what you pay.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: Tags in Heptabase are a little strange because they are both TAGS and TABLES-or "tagles." This video shows new users of Heptabase how to set up their first tag/table/database and compares four different ways of setting up Heptabase for research.

I don't see any link to your website mentioned in the video.
Sorry about that. It’s www.fpnotes.io
This is the best suggestion ever!
oh FFS
OMGoodness. Thank you for this simpler, straightforward explanation. You did a fantastic job explaining this topic to someone who only discovered it yesterday.
Glad it was helpful!
Agreed. I kept looking for a video that did not assume prior knowledge. This is it.
The best explanation so far! 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
I realize this is a late comment, but are you still using an analog Zettelkasten in addition to Heptabase? I'm interested in an analog system, but it seems like most people end up switching to a digital system at some point.
I am not using an analog Zettelkasten anymore. Even when I was using it, I was backing everything up in Obsidian, where I like to do this thing I call "relevance-level tagging." It became too onerous to maintain both the analog Zettelkasten and the "enhanced" version of it it Obsidian (I put "enhanced" in quotation marks because some might argue that anything digital is always inferior to analog, as cell phones are clearly inferior to the rotary dial phones, *of course*). If I had started with Heptabase from the beginning, I likely would have used only Heptabase. But currently I am using Heptabase + Obsidian because (a) I love working within Heptabase, (b) one can't do relevance-level tagging in Heptabase, and (c) I had way too many notes in Obsidian for it to be other than a pain in the behind to move everything over to Heptabase.
😂 15 seconds
The best solution is Zotero 7 beta....
@@sdnnvs Perhaps even better will be Heptabase’s integration with Zotero, which the developers appear to be working on right now, based on what’s been announced in Heptabase’s Discord server. I currently use Zotero to read and highlight almost all articles and, when possible, books.
The greatest of the modern philosophers, Immanual Kant, wrote in the Critique of Pure Reason that we refine categories from the ideas we have, not the other way around. We don't start with categories as this video recommends. If you do that, then you are not collecting ideas but organizing data. Your links and connections should inform you of the categories, not the other way around. Otherwise, you are just replicating what librarians do.
@@vp4744 Yes. Note that a few more videos into the series I announced that I would no longer be using “folder cards.” Explanation here: www.fpnotes.io/why-i-stopped-using-folder-cards-in-my-analog-zettelkasten/
@@forrestrperry Glad to know that.
I don't have anything to add, except that I laughed hard when I was called out as one of those people who just likes to keep track of ideas. I only found out about ZK about 2 weeks ago, and the idea of it got me pretty excited. Both my wife and I are learning about it so that we can use it for ourselves. Because we enjoyoy learning and making connections between ideas. Learning is a goal in and of itself. And if we don't write down the things we learn, they eventually get lost.
What was described in this video, was it really Zettelkasten? I heard nothing about indexes and card identifiers. Or was it the video maker taking a famous word, Zettelkasten, and explaining his own thing instead? To me is sounded like he divides card boxes internally in smaller compartments by topic and then put cards in according to topic. That is not Zettelkasten, is it?
Good question. There is no such thing as “really Zettelkasten” (and no such thing as “THE Zettelkasten method”). I didn’t realize that until reading a piece by Chris Aldrich that points out the variety of ways of using a Zettelkasten that predated Niklas Luhmann’s way of using a Zettelkasten (can’t find the piece right now, unfortunately). If you watch a little further into the video series, you’ll see that I pretty quickly abandoned the (very bad) idea of using folder cards. My explanation for why folder cards are a bad idea can be found here, in case you’re curious: www.fpnotes.io/why-i-stopped-using-folder-cards-in-my-analog-zettelkasten/
Do the idea cards go in your main box? (or somewhere else)?
Yes, what I call “idea cards” (what Scott Scheper and Bob Doto call “main notes) would go in your main box.
That was an excellent video. It got me back on track. Take away message: "The objective of the Zettelkasten method is to develop ideas, not to have an organizational system for collecting information."
Glad to hear it. Thanks for letting me know!
I am just getting started in creating a Zettelkasten. My topics would include the following: Level 1) HISTORY, Level 2) American History, Ancient History, European History, Russian History; Level 1) LANGUAGE & LITERATURE Level 2) Poetry, Non-fiction, Fiction (Outline), American Literature, English Literature, Russian Literature; Level 1) PHILOSOPHY, Level 2) Philosophy of History; Level 1) GEOGRAPHY, Level 2) Human Geography, Level 3) urban geography; Level 1) PSYCHOLOGY, Level 2) Personality Types; Level 1) MYTHOLOGY (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?); Level 1) GAMES (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?); Level 1) PARANORMAL/OCCULT (what major topic would this fit in - or is it one of its own?). Is this too many to start with? Your advice? (I have labeled the topics and subtopics as levels 1, 2 & 3).
I’m pasting here my response to your related question about the other video you recently commented on… Scott Scheper and others do things this way, but if you do things this way [start off with a bunch of categories, or “folder cards,” that is], you are likely to spend too much time agonizing over the question of where exactly to put new cards. If you watch further in the Old-School Zettelkasten series, you’ll see that I abandoned folder cards. My explanation for why I did so can be found here: www.fpnotes.io/why-i-stopped-using-folder-cards-in-my-analog-zettelkasten/
It occurred to me that we can use three digit numbers and key them to the Dewey Decimal system (for those of us familiar with using he library). That way the number would give a clue as to the content. (you could also do this with a four digit number, by just adding an additional digit to the DDS number). Your thoughts? 000 - Computer science, information and general works 100 - Philosophy and psychology 200 - Religion 300 - Social sciences 400 - Language 500 - Pure science 600 - Technology 700 - Arts and recreation 800 - Literature 900 - History and geography

Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I call it “Fold the zettel”
love this. thanks for the help in getting started.
The writting of Scheper is unggle like hell. But the concepts on the mentioned video are quite interesting.
Hello Bro, i took heptabase subscription after watching your video. Forgot to use your affiliate link . But i later emailed "Heptabase team" saying i benefitted from your video and to consider your affiliate link for my subscription . Heptabase team responded to me and confirmed that , i will be linked to your affliate link and said me "Thank you". I think you might receive a email confirmation in few hours. Thanks for your great video 🙏, which helped me to subscribe to heptabase
Glad to see that you have found my Heptabase videos helpful. Thanks!
@@forrestrperry ❤🙏
Bro, new to your channel and subscribed. I loved Heptabase . One question, Does it allow highlights to drag and drop for PDFs which have handwritten content ? Or does it only work highlights for digital text content PDFS only ?
Hello: you can drag and drop highlights of TYPED but not handwritten text.
@@forrestrperry Thanks for sharing the info. One more question as i am new to this. If i use heptabase on monthly basis and i end subscription one day , Will all my notes still exists ? or will be deleted ?
Have you moved all your notes from Obsidian to Heptabase ? Do you use the Zettelkasten method in Heptabase ?
I feel that establishing a record in this way is very slow. Does it interrupt the flow of thoughts or stream of consciousness?
First of all, congratulations on overcoming your illness. How do you compare Logseq and Heptabase?
This was super helpful! I'm getting ready to start my first zettelkasten and this gave me a much better idea of how to structure it so it makes sense to me.
Did Luhmann write down his thoughts directly on note cards? Or did he write those down in a notebook, edit them and then transfer them to the note cards?
yes, and yes
What if I am not working on academic subjects?
Best question yet. The tool/system/software is not about the subjects or concepts or categories or even links. It is about ideas. Ideas don't come pre-categorized as academic or not. Most youtube videos on this topic are grossly misleading, misinformed, and frankly not helpful at all.
it's a niche example but yes it seems that logseq should allow editing of the text while maintaining the ref link. heptabase looks more elegant but it costs also a lot more
if you don't include biology, psychology and evolution in 1:27 then you are just getting misguided by those topics, is like trying to study architecture without soil mechanics or physics. you also should add some cybernetics to it.
That's how librarians organize data.
Example. You have a 10000 notes Zettelkasten. And you decide to let me use it. I have ONE idea and ONE note to put it in to your Zettelkasten. I have no idea what your Zettelkasten is about and which notes it contains. I do not know any relations existing between notes. I have no idea about the context surrounding each of your notes. Just BLANK MIND. How do i put my note in your Zettelkasten so it will be mindfully connected to as much of your existing notes as it can be? Please describe a step by step process of my interaction with your's Zettelkasten.
Your dry humor made me instantly subscribe. Never change!
How did you add that green dot at 1:37? I tried doing ,gr but that didn't do anything.
It’s a keyboard shortcut I created using Keyboard Maestro for Mac. I could have used Alfred instead, but all my text-replacement shortcuts are via Keyboard Maestro these days. Maybe google “text replacement software” to find something that will work for you.
i hear a man calling me a loser, i immediately hit subscribe.
I’m the loser for never following through with my stated plan to release videos about how I use Obsidian. Might happen someday.
@@forrestrperry loser!
Prof P, thank you so much for these videos. You've given me clarity by examples. I'm less daunted by ZK now because of your systematic illustration. Also your dry humor and deadpan style of presentation is a huge plus :-)
Thanks for your kind comments. Much appreciated.
Hit it!
I couldn’t agree more about the plug-ins-and that’s when they work! Then there are all those hours spent trying to figure out why one of them is not working as intended. No, thank you.
You are too funny. Thank you for making this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@forrestrperry We do need more though! How else we gonna leverage!
Fantastic explanation of these concepts! What are you using to create the mind map that shows your sub-topics?
Thanks for the comment. MindNode (Mac/iOS only) is what I use to maintain the mind map version of my Zettelkasten.
This decision is not bad. But Marginnote is much more powerful, more convenient and functional. And there is also no subscription and affiliate links))
You had me at vast horde of people.
I've seen Rayen holiday, and Robert Greene dedicate a Zettelkasten for each book.... do you guys set a full Zettelkasten per project? sure there's no right or wrong way to do it but I'm interested to know your feedback (for those who does it), how do you navigate managing two or three Zettelkasten at once, specially when there's overlapping or contradiction
Minute 3:13, Tony Benn quote. Did you read "can find money for killing Germans" or is it an acustic issue on my side?
Minute 3:13, Tony Benn quote. Did you say "can find money for killing GERMANS" or is it an acustic issue on my side?
I agree with this. I myself am getting tired of Obsidian and its lack of core features, and heavy reliance on community plugins. Once I finish my degree I’ll be leaving Obsidian because it just doesn’t meet my needs anymore. It’s too “janky/clunky” for me
I take forever to take notes because of an intense fear that if my notes don't capture everything the literature says, something very bad is going to happen. Your content has partially helped, but I would like to know how to get past that fear, when I already know that is what's stopping me from creatively writing what I read in my own words.... Any advice? I couldn't find anyone else who might be able to answer this, as I could really relate to how I fall prey to collector's fallacy and then I tried doing the reminders on paper instead of highlighting (which still takes long to finish and then I forget the content and I need to read it all over for details I may miss) and then I tried implementing RTL but I'm really not getting anywhere because it's all taking away my time in exchange for no tangible work done.
I can feel you in your described problem. The cure to this lies in realization about the zettelkasten: its a tool developed to think. From this position the learning material is viewed in context of yours current area of interests. You can write as big or small as long as you continue develop your lines of thought
Thank you! I'm pretty new in the zettelkasten world after having read Ahrens and Shepherd's books, with only two hundred or so cards so far. I started with only two subjects as main level and a 10 or so branches that emerged quite naturally (literature, which is my area of expertise after my phd and experience as a uni lecturer, and psychology, which is the area i want now to specialize in order to change my professional path), your dive in structure is pretty interesting, thank you for this serie!
You can change the text when you import it from a pdf into a page, you just go into the file made in logseq and all the highlights are there to change.
Nice. You can do the same thing in Notion for free.
love the digestion analogy. gross lol but it works really well
Is there any way to extract PDF metadata?
Not at this time. The Heptabase team has indicated that they might create a a Zotero integration in the future, but I don’t know when that might happen. If extracting metadata from PDFs is crucial for your workflow, consider checking out videos that show how to use Zotero with Obsidian. Danny Hatcher has some good videos on that.
@@forrestrperry That is my setup now, actually. But always looking for the next best thing. I will keep this in my head, though and follow the progress. Thank you!
