Impulse

Impulse displays a full index to your generated statically-generated Web interface. It displays the zettelkasten Folgezettel Heterarchy for all Clusters# in the zettelkasten graph.

Zettel metadata
- Zettels can be pinned in Impulse# so that they appear at the top. To pin a zettel, add the “pinned” tag (see Tags#) to it.
- Sometimes you want to “draft” a note, and as such wish to hide it from the rest of Zettelkasten, notably in Impulse#. This can be achieved by marking a zettel as “unlisted”:
Folgezettel Links
- Wiki-links (see Linking) may be labelled as “folgezettel” if you are writing a “structure note” (or hub note, or index note). Folgezettel links are used to curate a tree-like structure (termed Folgezettel Heterarchy) for your zettelkasten, which structure is used in both Uplink Tree and Impulse#.
- If you are just starting out, begin with plain wiki-links. Once your get comfortable, experiment with making some of them folgezettel, while confirming the desired heterarchy in Impulse# or Uplink Tree.

Clusters
- Your Zettelkasten may have two or more clusters, not connected to one another. Impulse# will display these clusters, with each cluster’s Folgezettel Heterarchy rendered as a forest, whose roots (aka “mother zettels”) could be considered as a portal zettel into that sub-Zettelkasten.
