This isn't just tutorial about the program, but i learn so much about writing and thinking as well. Amazing. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

[@noduslabs]

Thank you so much for your feedback! Very motivating to know that what I’m doing is useful for others.

[@crestfallenwarrior6996]

Dude. This was actually profound. What an effective, efficient and brilliant way to work. Bravo! I am going down the Obsidian rabbit hole for personal research, work notes (electrical engineer) and some other stuff like mind mapping. This has to be the best video I’ve found thus far. Great work.

[@noduslabs]

Great! Love to hear that! Thank you and good luck with the work!

[@crestfallenwarrior6996]

@@noduslabsnp! Massive kudos. Once I get a grip on obsidian (more than the basics) I would love to support your hard work on Infranodus.

[@abteenz]

I've used tools like obsidian for couple years and it absolutely did nothing for me. This Tutorial actually taught me more about writing than anything.Thanks!

[@noduslabs]

Did you have a chance to try our plugin and the full InfraNodus version? infranodus.com

[@jonnydubowsky1840]

Awesome work! I think the concept you mentioned is the inverted pyramid.

[@noduslabs]

Oh thank you! I think it is, yes! Do you know some other techniques that are popular among writers?

[@JustinHitt]

Very interesting approach. As someone who writes a lot, I find visualization compelling. Topic clustering is even more interesting.

[@noduslabs]

Happy to hear that! If you don’t have obsidian you can just use the main version of InfraNodus - it has even more features than the plugin.

[@JustinHitt]

@@noduslabs I have Obsidian. That's what makes this so valuable. In addition, I'm using Graph Analysis and Smart Connections for drilling into my overall vault. What you showed here is definitely complementary.

[@noduslabs]

@@JustinHitt Did you try using our plugin? You can get it on infranodus.com/obsidian-plugin

[@hongmeixie409]

@JustinHitt what's the difference in terms of graph analysis and smart connections and this one?

[@JustinHitt]

@@hongmeixie409 High level differences: - InfraNodus has complex topic clustering and generates questions to ask. Runs with ChatGPT for AI. Very interactive nodal diagram with text overlay. - Smart Connections does file association and has a chat with your notes. Can be ran with local AI model. Let's you ask questions about your notes. - Graph Analysis is strictly machine learning like Co-Citation and HITS. No AI, but has NLP support. Helpful when drilling down ideas. I've done videos for clients on how I'm using smart connections and graph analysis when writing. This approach with InfraNodus is quite interesting too.

I think the first paragraph is called the "lead"?.....Fantastic video. Thankyou for your time and thoroughness.

[@noduslabs]

Thank you! Yes, the paragraph is probably the "lead", but the technique is called "inverted pyramid" as @johnnydubowsky1840 wrote in the comments earlier.

[@hongmeixie409]

Amazing. I am a big fan of the knowledge graph. It makes the writing and thinking visual and transparent. Which video you were talking about the underlying logic of the knowledge graph, can you recommend it for me to watch?

[@noduslabs]

Yes, in fact it’s a text not a video (I should probably make one actually). Here it is: noduslabs.com/cases/learn-read-interpret-network-graphs-data-visualization/

[@hiroyukinumaguchi1984]

Great! Thank you!

[@corgalie]

Thanks!

[@noduslabs]

Thank you for your support!

[@mNandhu7]

Can we use Local LLMs in this plugin?

[@noduslabs]

No. Why would you need to use them?

[@siferCEO]

It would be interesting to use this plugin with Dataview queries.

[@noduslabs]

@@siferCEO interesting! Could you please tell me more about it? What would be an example that could be useful for you?

[@jcdenton1664]

This is awesome! tool ive been waiting for without knowing it. What are the chances of another 50% coupon again sometime soon? Last one was a month ago -has expired.... =)

[@korigamik]

How much of it is free

[@noduslabs]

If you'd like to use the InfraNodus plugin, you need an account. But you could sign up for a free trial and get the API key and use it to test it out. An explanation of why we charge money for our software is available on support.noduslabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/15670160113564-Why-is-InfraNodus-not-free-or-doesn-t-cost-5

[@Divyv520]

Hey Nodus Labs , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@noduslabs]

You don't like my videos? :) What would you improve?

[@SP-ny1fk]

Don't write things that people want. You feed into their already established ideas. Fuck what the reader wants.

[@noduslabs]

Well I wouldn’t be so categorical because there are instances where your main objective is to be read by as many people as possible and knowing what they want (at least search intent) makes it more likely. But if you don’t optimize for quantity then it’s more interesting to start from what you’re interested in because it will come out better and it’s also more fun to write then.
