Earlier quoted context omitted.

PKM is the standard term for a whole diverse field of tools and techniques. Belittling it as "entering text" is pompous.

What elevates this specific vscode extension beyond my description? You personally knowing some of the people behind the project?

Parent comment didn't say anything about this extension. He just asserted that PKM is an already in-use term.

I really wanted to like this the last time I gave it a try, but it just did not do it for me. I though I would like it being a VS Code plugin since "why reinvent a .md editor", but the end result felt pretty janky. Plenty of power features, but they were not particularly intuitive to use.... I ended up finding https://logseq.com/ and have been very happy using that as a local application! I really like its balance of…

Wow, logseq seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Also detects file changes, so using a different editor side by side works.

Well, that's going to save me a chunk of time.

Is there an app this where the editor is WYSIWYG but the storage format is Markdown? Almost like Confluence from a UI perspective but for a personal KB?

The latest Obsidian release has a WYSIWYG editor mode that's quite good in my experience. It stores everything in plain old markdown files and has a ton of plugins for extra stuff like backlinks, etc.

This VS code extension is kind of flying under the radar and unnoticed, but it has an amazingly well integrated full WYSIWYG markdown editor: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=cweijan.... Of all the markdown in VS code things I've tried, this is by far the simplest and nicest I've used.

Take a look at Joplin, it had a WYIWYG editor and normal editor.

It’s like an open source Evernote.
