Create zettelkasten note inline

[kkyang]

I actually did go down a rabbit hole trying to understand the purpose of the UID because it seemed unclear to me what the utility of it was.

My logic is the same as yours so it didn’t make sense to me to use a UID. It also clutters the UI (the graph and just interlinking notes)

The only 2 benefits I found were

1. same name note
2. can create a note with no name

How do you use UIDs?

Now, I don’t use them myself, but I imagine they are useful because: You don’t have to name each concept and thought. If you strictly follow the Zettelkasten principles, you have one idea per note. Not every idea can be summarised in a note’s file name (title), but with automatic IDs you don’t have to worry about it. You can have two notes with the same title. Let’s say you have a note called “Norm”, containing info about the concept of measure from analysis. Now you’d also want another “N…

I just decided to use the built in zettelkasten naming because I’m new to zettelkasten and figured I’d just trust the process first and adjust later.

I’m assuming there is no difference between a zettelkasten created note and a regular note other than it just prefixes the title right? I wasn’t sure if there’s some logic in obsidian that treats zettelkasten created notes differently than regular notes.
