# Link is NOT a Note Taking App In many note-taking Apps, we have detailed records of various aspects of the content, which are scattered knowledge points, but in fact there is a certain relationship between the content, such as the registration process to recommend the attention of the content, so the registration process and the recommended users are two knowledge points, resulting in a relationship between the registration process, we need to take into account the impact of the registration process when we make any strategic changes to recommend the attention of the time to do any strategic changes. More often than not, this relationship can only exist in our minds, and when we need to use these relationships, we can only look for them in our minds, thinking, and inevitably missing. Link hopefully can help you organize your knowledge map, organize your knowledge points, establish relationships, and do what you need to do to make your knowledge more tightly knit and get things organized. # Relationships Between Things In our complex system, there are relationships between many things. Before we do something, we need to think about what we need to do in advance to prepare for it, and after we do something, what we need to add and improve. These little things exist in our daily work, and when we really need to use them, we need to think carefully, and there may be some omissions and mistakes, so Link hopes that by linking things before the connection, when we need to see a thing, we can find the corresponding related things. # A Bad Pen is Better than a Good Memory We can build our knowledge graph as we organize our content. Create a new card that describes a point, which can be any piece of content, select cards that already exist, create pre- and subsequent relationships, and associate related content to form a knowledge network. This way, when we do subsequent projects, we can find related content through tags and search to see what needs to be prepared and added to improve. # Tag Management Add corresponding tags to each card, when related cards or need to view the knowledge, through the tags and quick search, to find the corresponding knowledge card, view the predecessor and successor relationship, sort out the content we need to do. # Detailed Content Links More detailed content in the knowledge point may exist in various notes or websites, you can add these knowledge points as attached links to our knowledge points, so that you can view more detailed content at any time. We hope that Link can help you to do a better job of managing your knowledge graph.

ArcaNotes is a different kind of note-taking app. It's designed for speed of entry ("micro-notes"), makes reviewing feel natural, streamlines sharing, and uses AI to help you organize and retrieve. ArcaNotes has a small mission and a big mission. The small mission is to make a great note-taking app that is fast, flexible, and aligned with how many of us work today. The bigger mission is for ArcaNotes to become your second brain, the place where you store all of your information. By making it effortless to retrieve, share, and review, your knowledge will be unlocked for you and others. How is ArcaNotes different? 1. It’s designed for rapid note-taking * Rather than taking long notes that cover several disparate topics, try using ArcaNotes to take “micro-notes” - short notes, each about one idea. * As soon as you have something you want to jot down, just enter it, and worry about organizing it (ie, assigning a topic) later. * The intention is for there to be nothing between your thought and the act of storing it - no friction. Capturing information is as simple as texting yourself. 2. Retrieval and review feel natural * Notes are displayed like a feed, similar to messaging apps. For many people, scrolling a feed is a more natural way to review and retrieve than clicking through nested folders. * Notes can be assigned one or more topics, and notes under that topic can be viewed, much like a channel. 3. It encourages you to share your knowledge * So much knowledge is trapped in our heads and apps. Often, we don’t share it because of the extra work required. * ArcaNotes aims to change that by making sharing and following feeds of other users’ notes easy. The intent is for a portion of your notes (the ones you want to share) to be opened up so others can quickly scan and review them. It’s a bit like how people routinely scan various message channels to catch up on other teams’ activities. 4. It leverages AI technology to help you be more productive * ArcaNotes suggests topics that best fit the content of your note, as you type. The goal is to help you work faster by doing some of the thinking about organizing for you. * Rather than searching by keyword, you can ask your notes a question. ArcaNotes will generate an answer based on the knowledge contained in your notes.
