I encountered Niklas Luhmann’s sociological work in 1990 but only came across his Zettelkasten approach in 2007, thanks to historian Manfred Kuehn’s wonderful but sadly defunct blog Taking Note Now.

I gradually converted my existing personal wiki from then on, at first emulating Kuehn’s use of Connected Text an also sadly defunct app. So that’s 17 years and counting.

It has taken ages to get to a system that works well for me, but I think I’ve got there now. 🤞
