Notes & knowledge work

Sam Rivera

Skeptical of dashboards that replace writing.

Brooklyn, NY

Compares note apps, PKM setups, and capture workflows for people who think in links—not widgets.

About

Sam writes for builders who take notes to think, not to decorate a Notion page. The work is app comparisons, sane defaults for Obsidian and friends, and calling out PKM systems that turn into procrastination furniture.

Background in technical writing and developer relations; still keeps a plain Markdown vault synced with git because it's boring and it works.

Will not recommend a plugin until you've written twenty notes without one.
