With Dataview we have a great tool for Zettelkasten analytics. Step by step I developed a collection of simple queries for a repeated use to inspect and adapt my Zettelkasten process. Here is my list of:
Tools for Gardening

Links
- Permanent Notes without in-links

Tags

Tasks
- Permanent Note tasks to be finished
- Reference tasks to be finished
- Structure tasks to be finished
- Project Note tasks to be finished
Lost and found

- Permanent Notes never modified
- Orphans to be integrated
Thanks to Dataview you can also use this list with actual data as a Zettelkasten Dashboard:
Which of these tools do you regularly use with your own Zettelkasten? Which is missing?
