My experience with Curtains

Curtains is one of the software I use most frequently. The reason is simple, as a lazy person, I really like simple, easy to use, efficient and no set of tools. From taking notes, writing outlines, organizing resources, to actually working, reviewing and sharing documents, MakuBu runs through all my processes.

Curtain Picks

Curtain selection, is a community of curtain users to share their own organization of curtain documents, organized a lot of high-quality notes document, whenever you need a certain field of information, when as a high-quality knowledge sharing resource base to search, usually more than Baidu, small red book on the organization of the quality of the resources.

Team Collaboration

Invite collaborators in the upper right corner of the editing area, people with " admin/editor " links can synchronize editing a document.

Two-way links, tags

Cite a document

Type @ to select a document or a topic within a document, or you can type it in without selecting it, which is a tag.

To see the relationship between documents, there are 3 views:

Cited Documents: refers to this document, by which documents @.

Discovered Documents: refers to the document related to the document what documents, which is the automatic capture of documents formed by keywords

Document Relationship Diagram: similar to Obsidian's bi-directional link view, you can visualize the relationship between all documents.

Tags

Curtain also supports tag management, using "**@" or "#"** to categorize people, events, keywords.

For example, applied to task management, in each person needs to be responsible for the part of the tag @ the name of the person, the subsequent just need to click on the @ name, with the tag of the subject, will be filtered out. (equivalent to @ in a group chat)

Math formulas

To enter formulas you need to turn on Markdown mode and use Markdown's extended syntax $LaTeX Formula Syntax$ , which wraps the LaTeX formula syntax in dollar signs. For more information or a quick primer on Markdown and LaTeX, see the related posts on my blog.
