It works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files and lets you turn a collection of plain text files into a rich network of linked thought.\n\nMore about: https://obsidian.md\n\n## Zettelkasten\nZettelkasten is a personal tool for thinking and writing created by Niklas Luhmann. It has hypertextual features to make a web of thought possible. The difference to other systems is that you create a web of thoughts instead of notes of arbitrary size and form, and emphasize connection, not a collection.\n\nMore about: https://www.soenkeahrens.de/en/takesmartnotes\n\n## Usage\nCopy templates to your Obsidian template folder location to make them available as templates within Obsidian. More about: https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Templates\n\nOr use it as part of the [Obsidian-Zettelkasten-Starter-Kit](https://github.com/groepl/Obsidian-Zettelkasten-Starter-Kit).\n\n### 6 Mandatory Obsidian Plugins\n- [Book Search](https://github.com/anpigon/obsidian-book-search-plugin) -
