Enjoyed and agreed with raves and rants. We're in that awkward space between new tech rollout and UI's that make the tech understandable, not to mention useable.
Every couple of months I install Smart Connections and end up cursing. I'm not stupid, we shouldn't be made to feel that way, and I refuse to use products with lofty pitches that do not deliver like this one - Spend less time linking, tagging and organizing because Smart Connections finds relevant notes so you don't have to!
I should probably update this to note that at least two of my rants about Notion have since been resolved by @TFTHacker (seriously, no pings in comments, Substack?) teaching me that you can do cmd+a TWICE to select all, and they DO have a shortcut for swapping lines :D
I am currently indexing all of my documents locally using GPT4All and Meta's model Llama 3 8B Instruct. If it works well, then I'll try out the Obsidian plugin Copilot for Obsidian which can call the above model in GPT4All, keeping everything local. (Bad product name: It has nothing to do with Microsoft's Copilot). Fingers crossed. If you're interested in some eye candy, here's the dev's latest video: https://youtu.be/1jSaGwuPiJs
Still indexing! I’ll report back. BTW, another tool I love is NotebookLM. Author Steven Johnson works on this tool with Google Labs and it’s turning out to be a researcher/writer’s dream. Watch this for example. https://youtu.be/IPAPv6fWITM
NotebookLLM is definitely taking off -- I'm familiar with it thru my work at Readwise, we actually built a google docs integration to help facilitate using it with those notes :D but Notion happens to be convenient for me because I share workspaces there with my family and colleagues.

I hope it works out! I've heard good things about the local models.
