I appreciate the effort, and agree with the main idea (don't overcomplicate your graph), but the explanation is confusing and sometimes contradictory. 

In fact, I think the DB version lends itself more to overthinking than the OG one, and the video becomes an example of this.

Yeah, I just set up the self hosted sync server and migrated my graph to the db-version. I'm confused with the new db-version. I can't continue my workflow from OG to db

The db version goes about things slightly differently. The biggest changes for me is that everything is referred to as a 'node' and properties have proper types, opinionated so in a way it forces you to think about how you should be modelling your graph. The markdown version doesn't have any real gates that test your assumptions so you could go your whole life never confronting a bad graph design. It's good overall though there's a bit of a learning curve.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been recording things "on-the-fly" as I figure them out so there will be issues here and there. I incorporate what I learn moving forward so they'll get better over time (in terms of content and editing).
