I’ve been using urtext as a “Second Brain” for several years now and love it. Miles beyond any other personal knowledge and notes system.

Simply the ability to place, edit, and sort by timestamps sets it apart from other notes/knowledge systems.

Requires some familiarity with Sublime Text and ST’s quirks, and eventually an ST license is basically a necessity.

Can you elaborate on how you use it? I tried googling any mention of it and failed (all reddit posts were deleted). I installed it into sublime but it didn't seem to do anything

Odd they don’t use the sublime package system, given that it is a sublime plugin. Can’t figure that one out.

We have had trouble with package control, unfortunately. The package control bot was down for over two months without any notification to developers, and we did not know why the small pool of test users were unable to pull updates during this time. As a result, the package at https://packagecontrol.io/search/urtext is now an installer only. See the readme at https://github.com/nbeversl/urtext_sublime_installer. It installs another package control channel and pulls the latest from there. Obviously this is not ideal. We tried to solve it with Package Control maintainers to no avail.

If you have time to test and give feedback on any problems, it is always appreciated.
