And I built the silly "discovery" feature where it randomly pushes an old one to the top to help keep it clean.
Also, Sqlite text search FTS5 is rad
Thanks for sharing it. Here is another similar product: A personal knowledge management and sharing system for VSCode https://github.com/foambubble/foam
I'm very interested in a compare between the two!! I'd known of Foam & was planning to at around with it's forming new extension api[1]. I like that foam stores history in git, & can write static html output, which the project uses to self-document. It'd be sweet to hear from folks who've tried both how they found the experience. I'll try to become one of those folks myself, at some point. [1] https://jevakallio.gith…
Dendron helps you organize your notes into hierarchies that you can enforce using schemas (think type system but for your hierarchies)
The problem we're solving: once you have hundreds or thousands of notes, how do you find a specific one?

This looks really cool! I'm going to give it a try. I always lose my notes. My workaround is a personal Discord server, to post notes to myself, which is nice to have a mobile app where I can share links to on mobile I want to save for later, but the different channels doesn't really provide enough structure to the notes, plus searching is not great in discord. Do you have like a hack to post notes to and from mobile…
Also looking into building a draft like mobile app later this year to support your use case of quickly adding to existing nots.
See mobile use cases here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/401c5889-20ae-4b3a-8468-269def...
Why? Isn't Obsidian better?
tldr: obsidian is easier to get started with and is good for free association of notes. dendron is better integrated into the development workflow and is amazing at helping you organize your notes into well defined hierarchies
Thank you. I tried hopping onto the Zettelkasten/self-markdown-wiki bandwagon with Obsidian but its non-commercial clause was really discouraging... so I said "F it" and returned to OneNote (which BTW does have pretty permissive links!).
Most notes, at least the way I work, start as just that: notes. Then some of them grow more complex and evolve into a larger document (or ideally, could evolve into multiple linked ones), but Tomboy doesn't really support it (at least if it had support for copy-ing away text as markdown...) and I really don't feel like having yet another IDE like app taking up the whole screen for every small note.
How are people using tools like this and Roam, Obesdian, etc. etc. etc? Personally I could see the use if you were writing a book or something, but I feel like in practice for normal notes I would just have all of these notes that I'd never look at again or spend so much time traversing my notes and not getting things done. As someone with distractive tendencies I'd love to hear the situations where this is useful so…
A big part of my note-taking is just to get stuff out of my brain. I might never revisit any of it, and that's fine. If I write it down I know I can always go back when I need to, but if I don't , it's going to be an annoying distraction in my subconscious. A lot of my note-taking therefore becomes an excuse to successfully ignore the things I know I don't need to pay attention to. I do have a bunch of notes that I u…
Last week I had one of those dreaming-about-writing-code sort of nights, where I half woke up and was thinking about the stuff I'd been dreaming about and couldn't go back to sleep. I tossed and turned until I grabbed my phone, opened my notes app, jotted down some of the idea, then closed it. That alone let my mind say "ok, now I won't forget it" and I was finally able to go back to sleep.
Some people go full-on Zettelkasten, which is awesome and I'm happy for them. Turns out I really don't need all the organization. I just need somewhere to offload my thoughts where I know I can find them later, and just the process of writing them down usually gets me 99% of the benefit of having such a system.
We have so many roam-alikes but so very few with web publishing as a first-class citizen and the ones that do have it paywalled (Roam, Obsidian) or don't support org-mode (Neuron v2 though there's plans to reintroduce), which just blows Markdown out of the water.
I would suggest if you are serious about it being a serious note app, jettison the vscode dep.
