I wrote a bit about using Obsidian with bottom-up / smart notes.

I'll check it out, thanks!
Edit: Upon a quick scan, this looks more like what I learned as "Linking Your Thinking", which resonates way more with me than a strict Zettelkasten format where you try to arrange notes linearly to match some artificial constraint.
And I think that's a good thing, just not how Ahrens described Zettelkasten.
I wanted to like Linking Your Thinking, but while I found the ACE concept novel and intriguing, it didn't really fit my brain. (And while certainly a point of style, Nick Milo's presentation method somewhat grated on me). I ended up with a combination of PARA and Jonny Decimal. I actually wrote a big long conversation with Claude to recommend a methodology. I talked about what I liked about Zettelkasten, ACE, PARA, and where I had issues implementing, adhering, and how I found myself using things, and it actually came up with a fairly decent starting point.
Yes that is fair, I adjusted and simplified the system for my usage. I didn't include any of the note "phases" / transitions, so e.g. no fleeting notes.
