New Plugin: Journey - Find the story between your notes

Awesome @KaneDodgson!

I’m curious what you’ve found!

And with that: I wonder if we should start another thread somewhere to share stories we’ve found.

Even if we come from different domains and even if it’s just a list of note titles.

I’d also love to hear your workflow afterwards.

Paging @EhuddRomero, @alltagsverstand, @anon27868835, @matteor, @cestvrai, @thoresson, @I-d-as, @osgav and @Erick_James_Dodge for input – Does any one want to own this sort of “Awesome Journeys Show and Tell” thread?

To kick this off, here’s what’s been working for me:

  1. Every other day I open the window and use “I feel lucky” until I see a start and end note that sounds interesting.
  2. I let the plugin find the path which it usually (9/10 times) finds.
  3. From let’s say 10 such journeys I usually find one that really piques my interest (“Follow the tickle”)
  4. I then copy this one journey into a collection note called “Cool Journeys”
  5. Because I auto-transclude the links (see settings below) I switch into reader mode and read through the outline that has been created for me. This is my favorite part!
  6. Then I add a section underneath called “What sparks my interest?” and write down additional bullet-points of what it is about this journey that I enjoy

My settings are:

  • Forward and backlinks enabled
  • Include tags
  • Take the scenic route (MOCs start at 22 links)
  • Exclude Daily Notes and Source (original articles) folders
  • Enabled auto-linking
  • Enabled auto-transclusion (My personally most favorite option)

And finally, a raw and messy and yet somehow “me” path that I discovered: The Journey Between Neurodiversity and The Empire State Building
