The review for note-related topics is going to be reduced from this point because it's time to dedicate this month for learning a new skill to put this in use.

This feature alone allows for a different way of thinking about note-taking — notes are better to be associative than hierarchical.
|
|
The model is better suited because of how our brains work.
|
|
When learning something new, we tend to look for familiar things as a hook or a foundation, comparing it to the new concepts.
|
|
Moreover, there is a tendency for us to understand more when there's a story associated with the concept.
|
|
Whenever I remember a topic from a talk, one of the few things to come first are the examples and stories.
|
|
|
|
Compared to monodirectional links like in the web, bidirectional links have inherent social awareness: the ability to look back to linked pages.
|
|
With this feature, you can easily form a graph of pages establishing contextual relationships between them.
|
|
This is a feature I always like to see especially for technical websites such as [[https://encyclopediaofmath.org/][Encyclopedia of Mathematics]].
|
|
|
|
That said, bidirectional linking is not a silver bullet.
|
|
If this is implemented on the web today, it would cause a lot of problems — spamming is one of the most common one and it can require heavy moderation.
|
|
Hence, this is more suitable for certain situations such as personal wikis and federated apps.
