It is no secret that I love Capacities and have written a lot about it. Of all its wonderful features, there are two that are just so much better than what other PKM apps offer and I’m reminded every time I use them:
- Visual embedding options
- Media/asset annotations
Visual embedding options
If you create references to other pieces of content in Capacities, there are nearly always various ways to view this reference.
You can create references through the ‘@’ or ‘[[]]’ command, which allows you to search and link all of your content. As long as you are not mid-block, you will be able to embed in various ways by clicking on the three dots on the right hand side of the reference.
This gives you more ownership over how the page looks and how you interact with the information. Sometimes I use wide cards as dividers, or use two columns and have small cards on one side and text on the other. The small cards are especially good as you can see the text through it, which is great for quick looks at content.
