Is it the generally-accepted practice to run an app like this in a network namespace or sandbox? How do I know it's not pilfering my research? I'd like to use a system like this for my work but I don't see how it can be trusted. I don't have the time to read the source. To be honest, I prefer a hosted solution because then I get a written contract about the privacy of my data.

#112I think this trend of better knowledge tools is missing two very important pieces of human nature 1. If we have time to enter something into a knowledge base of any kind - then we have time to just jot it on a piece of paper. 2. If we dont have time (or think it is important at that moment ) then what solves the problem for us is not a knowledge base, but search . You see the thing about Google and Facebook etc, is t…
I ran a private system for a while that proxied all my browser traffic and indexed it into Lucene/Solr. This was cute at the time but with the rise of javascript apps it became increasingly useless. There wasn't anything worth indexing in the responses. These days something like Zotero Connector is probably what you want.

#113I've been a heavy Standard Notes user for a couple years now, and the added function of Zettlr looks extremely appealing to me (images, linking, much nicer rendering, etc.). However, to really give this a test drive to see if it's a suitable replacement, I downloaded all my Standard Notes as plain text and tried importing them. This caused a ton of bugs/errors when trying to navigate and use the results. First, it co…
I am also a long-time SN user but I've never really liked the editor. So, I used a bit of free time to turn a C GTK SN client PoC into a somewhat proper Rust app (https://github.com/matze/iridium) and hope to put in more effort the next few weeks. You might like it if Linux is your platform.

What happened with your Joplin sync issue? I am interested in using Joplin exclusively and use both apps currently. The Standard Notes development team is nice but refactors happen too frequently and estimates are rarely (never) produced, even though the product is paid Open Source.
It's a pity because Joplin has pretty much the perfect feature set for me. I can't tell you much about the sync issue I had as I didn't find a solution (I also didn't spend too much time on it). Btw. I initially migrated from zim and the migration was super easy!!! What I can tell you is that Joplin suddenly didn't show any notes anymore because of a sync issue. In the source folder I saw some files still there but t…
Honestly, it's good to hear I'm not alone.
Synchronization in Joplin concerned me too. E2EE is non-trivial to setup and Joplin will upload decrypted files if E2EE is misconfigured on a device. Encryption appears to be an afterthought in Joplin.
Standard Notes looks snazzy but too many features fail to work. I cannot get paste to work consistently on my mobile devices, and you're right - the editors are a an absolute mess. File Safe is only supported in unsupported editors and the supported editors lack basic features. FYI, the spreadsheet editor unsupported and exporting sheet data is...difficult.
I do not recommend Standard Notes anymore. Thanks for pointing out a need for external backups in Joplin though!

#115One feature I have yet to find in any Markdown editor is a simple "block" mover, which I describe here: https://twitter.com/jgthms/status/1225513837379641350 Underneath, the data structure would remain straightforward Markdown. So the data wouldn't be stored as separate blocks; the moving would act similarly to Sublime Text's "Swap Line Up/Down".
In VSCode anytime you have text selected you can alt+up/down to move the whole selection (or current line if no selection) up/down one line. I assume STs "swap line up/down" works the same.
Is that different from your "block mover" idea? I mean, if I select the paragrap I want to move and use it it sounds similar, thought it'd happen one line at a time, and I understand you'd mean to move it "whole blocks" at a time.
But probably a plugin can be made to achieve that behavior.

#116I find vimwiki to be quite useful. I like that it uses plain files. It lacks a fancy GUI interface, but I prefer a hands-on-the-keyboard approach, anyway.
Re: Zettlr – FOSS markdown editor for personal knowledge management and publishing
#117Joplin and Standard notes are great as well. I lost one week of data due to some synchronization issue with Joplin though - but the markdown editor is great (they even have a new WYSIWYG editor). Standard notes is good but it's missing good file/image support which is really annoying.
I'm using Joplin but looking to change. Issues I have with Joplin:
- when I type towards the end of a document, the page jumps out of focus, very annoying. The rest I can kind of live with.
- I'm not loving there's no G Drive sync
- the local disk sync are not original MD files plus a temp file but a bunch of files.
- I can't resize the mid partition in order to see more original md
- Can't type on right view panel
- panels not sync'd horizontally at the line we are at (this may not be possible)Re: Zettlr – FOSS markdown editor for personal knowledge management and publishing
#118Eats up my CPU. I haven't even done any editing, just reading the tutorial and CPU is and 120%

Whoa, this is very cool! I will definitely give it a spin on the desktop. Does it support any of the extensions like tags/folders?

No unfortunately not yet but of course I need that myself sooner or later. All my notes are tagged.
