Great comparison video using real life cases. I hope Heptabase adds alias capability as well.

[@paperlessmovement]

Yesssss! 💚

[@SensoryEcstasy]

Id like to know your thoughts on Heptabase vs Obsidian with Excalidraw 🤔

[@ahmedfarrag17]

Don't you know if they offer a lifetime deal for early adopters as Scrintal does?😭😭I would buy it instantly :') I am full of subscriptions...haha

Hey Tom. Thanks for these videos. I am a noob when it comes to this, as I only recently started using Notion - and Heptabase introduces a visual element that I truly like. My question to you is perhaps a bit more general - how do you deal with different languages in your note-taking? Is it something you pay little attention to? For example, I have a bunch of English and some German books and studies - I serve 2 language groups - how do you deal with the language challenge? Do you prepare English and German specific notes?

[@MADhatter_AIM]

Well Obsidian is free.

Thanks Tom, another helpful overview of key features in Heptabase. I’m really looking forward to your Heptabase course. One thing I’d like to know is whether you can embed s in Heptabase cards, like you can with videos. I’d love it if you could have Padlet boards or live Google maps as part of your Heptabase content, so you could interact with these without leaving your Heptabase workspace. Also, thanks for working with more visual content in your demos. Given that Heptabase is such a visual tool and is perfect for visual thinkers, it’s surprising how many other tutorials only focus on manipulating text content in Heptabase. Showcasing its capacity to work with different forms of visual media would be a big plus for your tutorials I think. 👍

[@paperlessmovement]

Iframes are not available yet. However we are confident it’ll eventually be added too! We are also looking forward once we can open the doors to our Heptabase course for you! 💚

[@juergenheise28]

The workaround for images or youtube videos using Text field works for me.

[@artofdao]

I use obsidian and DEVONthink I have a look on capacities and heptabase DEVONthink does not show up on your videos, why? It’s pkm and very simple notetaking Which tool would you use of all these? Obsidian is so much work for setup?! All the others I don’t know so much from setup point? I don’t want so much setup but pkm and not taking and white board mindmap canvas style?

I need more features before I make the jump. I need the Zotero connection and more colors. It would be nice if they had an API as well.

[@paperlessmovement]

An API would be really useful indeed. 💚

[@chrisso1973]

I think I saw Zotero connection on their public roadmap… I agree, this would be a killer feature and make it really relevant for academic work.

Any news on Lazy?

[@paperlessmovement]

Unfortunately no…they still didn’t give us access. 🥺

[@juergenheise28]

I recently got an invite to Lazy. Still have to book the onboarding call first.

[@paperlessmovement]

@@juergenheise28 so you can book a call, or you are waiting to get an invite to the call? If you get there, tell them we are eagerly waiting too...we want to show the community what Lazy actually looks like...so it'll be very useful for all of us if we finally get our hands on Lazy... 💚

[@esausse]

Excellent. Thank you very much!

[@sibaroochi]

I wonder about what data they share with 3rd parties

[@paperlessmovement]

It's all provided in their Privacy Policy here: heptabase.com/privacy_policy

[@clumein2]

Once again... I forget.... that one can't try the app out. I went ahead and installed for a second time and said "opps!", I remember you... b'bye.

[@paperlessmovement]

They have a money back guarantee and trial version is coming soon.

[@ARNBNDL]

Yes 7 days free return and... its like 10 dollars... price of one pizza. Its crazy to see people cry about that.

[@clumein2]

Yes... and it's also crazy to see how people miss the point. What good does holding my 10 dollars for 7 days do the company only to return it. Why not just give a 7-day trial? And BTW... Where do you live? Because I haven't seen a $10 pizza in many a year.@@ARNBNDL

[@diniomar3965]

No free version.

[@paperlessmovement]

Not yet but very soon.
