Is the issue you're seeing that it stripped comments, or something else?

It nuked a substantial portion of the file, unfortunately, not just the comments. It basically gave me a reset config.toml with your MCP and not too much else. I have a nontrivial config. Will share on your Issues page when I can.

Closing loop - we merged in a PR that lifted the codex toml modification logic from the codex source code, so it should be safe to use. We weren't able to recreate cases were the previous approach broke our test cases, but by porting codex logic we figure is the best way to structurally ensure there aren't unforseen changes.

If you run into any other issues -- let us know.

Electron apps tend to fall down in the minutiae of the little things that native apps get right (around things like selection, scrolling, various small affordances across various levels). Would love to see something like this be more native app upfront, than starting out with something that will always leave that top 10% of what makes a nice feeling app unobtainable. You win hard on this if you have the best possible…

I really wanted to like this, but unfortunately couldn't see how it improves my experience over Obsidian or VS Code. The fact that I have to juggle between OpenKnowledge and Codex to engage the AI, while also accepting a barebones Obsidian, is a real bummer. From what I can tell, you are saving me a few key strokes with moving prompts around. What I really want is the AI to live IN the app, like VS Code, and then mov…

I have been trying to replace Obsidian with something for over 4 years now ever since I started using it. But I am just too comfortable now and I have it set up exactly the way I like and extended it with plugins etc. I tried other stuff but nothing imo can beat its utility to me. I also personally wouldn't want an AI or anyone else looking through my vault or want AI in it.

This. I just open the Obsidian folder (aka "vault") in VS Code and BOOM, it is AI friendly. I just hack on the .md files like I would code with Copilot.

But there’s no good WYSIWIG markdown editor extension for VS code.
