Neuron

Neuron is a command-line app for managing a plain-text Zettelkasten.

While there is some overlap with zk's features, both tools are actually useful when paired together:

• zk has powerful filtering and note generation capabilities
• Neuron shines with its static website generation

Close integration with Neuron was thought through from the start when designing zk. For example, Neuron's Folgezettel syntax is supported: [[[link]]], #[[link]] and [[link]]#.

But you can make your notebook even more tightly integrated with Neuron by:

• using the same settings as Neuron to generate the note IDs in the note configuration

  [note]
  filename = "{{id}}"
  id-charset = "hex"
  id-length = 8
  id-case = "lower"
  

• adding command aliases for your frequently used neuron commands

  [alias]
  serve = "neuron gen -wS"
  gen = "neuron gen -o public"
  

Emanote

Emanote is neuron's successor. For Emanote-specific configuration, see https://emanote.srid.ca/start/resources/zk.
