    I just started onboarding a few days ago and I'm already in LOVE with Capacities. It combines the linking abilities of Obsidian, the database creation of Notion and the gorgeous text editing features of Craft. For me, that's the perfect trifecta. The structure does this a minute to wrap your head around, but totally worth it. Here's a super simple way to think about the structure: Object = Nouns, tags = adjectives. There are other ways to set it up, but that's a super simple way to think about it (no overwhelm involved).

    Capacities is an incredible app I started using it to manage my school life. The graph view and tags and everything about has made everything so much easier to do and get started with. I really like how Capacities deals with linking content and links. Great Video!

    I have just started using capacities! I can not for the life of me find a video in depth enough on the table you added. Could you do a video on this or explain how you added the option to disae the sections you were not using. ❤

      Yeah but if you just stopped using Notion because you got bored of it then you're going to stop using anything else when you get bored of it.

    Difficulty with dates is also my primary problem in Notion. It's why I never got into it. If I'm using a productivity app, I want to be able to track its date. But unless you create and start with the calendar database you can't really do that.
    Capacities is what Evernote needs to evolve into. A note-taking app that makes it easy to organize your life information.

    For somehow, youtube recommend your video in my timeline and I watched it anddd I like how you explained things and yeah, now I am exploring Capacities and look so cool compare to notion. And agree with you, Notion is too tedious and I was lazy to setup everything. 😂

    Capacities seems like such a nice combo of Notion and Obsidian. I'm going to try using it more often before fully switching, but this seems lovely. Thanks for the introduction :D

    I'm in love with Capacities, the UI is simply so clean and minimalist. I will give it a try but the main drawbacks for me is that Capacities can't register / login with Google Account. I hope they can consider adding this in the future.

  • @AlbertYoder
    @AlbertYoder Год назад +3

    You seem to use a great many tags so I wonder if you have any special way of organizing them since it would be hard to remember them. Do you just sort and search? Also I wonder what you think of a couple Chinese apps that are very Notion-like: Innos Note and SiYuan

    • @melocreating
      @melocreating  Год назад +3

      tags also have collections so it’s easy to look for a specific topic! i use tags for really specific purposes or for words that represents a specific topic or theme that does not require elaboration so whenever i want to tag something i just put a # and type that topic- if it exists, i tag it, and if it does not, i create it! as for notion-like app, i think a huge part of the notion experience is the ecosystem (app integrations, multi-platform, import and export, etc), and seeing as notion has the most experience and connection in this field, i think it would be hard for other similar apps to compare/surpass notion:(

    It looks very nice, but is it better than Obsidian ?

    • @melocreating
      @melocreating  Год назад +4

      they’re inherently different so it’s hard to compare, but i would recommend capacities to anyone who want a quick and easy start; and obsidian to anyone who prefer offline workability/reliability and a higher degree of flexibility and customisation (that ofc also comes with a sharper learning curve)

      mainly bc they are very text based, and i am a very visual person (color with tags, emojis/icons, cover photos, different layouts, etc. are very important to me) but also bc obsidian and logseq can take a really long time to set up whereas Capacities fits my needs exactly
