We'll start with a completely blank workspace and work through the basics of nodes, fields, supertags, and more. By the end, you'll have more than a solid understanding of Tana – you might be blown away by its power 😉
Before we can dive really deep into using Tana, we need to orient ourselves in Tana's (beautiful) UI.
This is a very simple lesson, but because Tana as a couple of tricks up its sleeve definitely worth a watch.
In Tana, everything is a node. In this lesson, you'll learn all about nodes – how to create them, link them, embed them, and using different Views to look at them.
We'll also start building towards a reading and note-taking workflow.
One of the things that set Tana apart is the ability to attach data about a node directly to it.
In this lesson you'll learn about is-a and has-a – something that will immediately unlock powerful workflows.
Tana has one of, if not the most advanced search capabilities of any note-taking tools out there.
This lesson teaches everything about how Tana's search will make you want to use Tana for everything.
Do you know what's better than a tag? A supertag!
He'll show you what crazy things you can do once you grok Tana's supertags in this lesson.
The rabbit hole goes deep – and once you start nesting searches and supertags it goes every deeper.
Once you've started combining supertags with searches, there will be no going back. Promise.
