@User I love to browse and get lost in Wikipedia. I love that you can go from a broad overview, all the way to specific details in the links, straight from Wikipedia, and also get a sense of, and explore, the ontologies and "phylogenies" of the topic, which my mind visualizes as how they are nested in the hierarchy related to other topics. But just reading gives me a tenuous understanding of the topics, and makes me very prone to the Dunning–Kruger effect. One of my favorites way to understand readings is to ask questions (note down questions that come up as I read), write it out in mywords, summarizing things, and quizzing myself. I've lightly experimented with different platforms to do that with, and Dendron does it very well. What I can do with Dendron is to keep my notes linked to the source material- I don't alter the wording of the source material at all, I just create my own
links
from it. It's literally like "zooming into" levels of detail. On top of that, I can create summaries with different level of detail and contextual information from the same notes originating from the source material, which is great for things like exam reviews vs midterm reviews vs final reviews vs Anki reviews.
