It doesn't seem to view my plain text notes. What file formats are currently supported, if plain text is not?

#42This is a good reminder of why storing Obsidian notes as individual Markdown files is much more useful than stuffing those notes in a database and having Markdown as an export format. The direct manipulation of files allows multiple apps to coexist and do useful things on top of the same files.
That was the reason why I gave up Joplin very quickly. The last Joplin thread, here on Hacker News, has also shown once again that some still do not understand why "But Joplin can export Markdown from the database!" is not the same as simple, flat Markdown files.

Yeah, that's also why I dropped it. Got too complicated when I wanted to start linking my notes into my work timesheets.

#44I like the idea. Unfortunately, could not get it to work on Linux. Making a note caused a crash. Searching notes crashed. LLM chat would cause crash. Hope to see it work some time.

I got an iOS journaling app on beta. It’s offline, no sign-in, no lock-in, social, etc. Saves to plain text. Syncs to your desktop if needed.

#46I did my usual test for these things - I tossed in the Markdown source for my site, which has 20 years of notes (https://taoofmac.com/static/graph).
Surprisingly, indexing sort of worked. But since I have an index.md per folder (so that media is grouped with text for every note) the editor is confused, and clicking on links always took me to a blank screen.
Also, pretty much every question gives an error message that says "Error: The default context shift strategy did not return a history that fits the context size", likely because there is too much context...
Edit: Fixed most of it by using a mistral instruct model. But the editor does not know what front matter is (neither in editing nor in previews, where front matter looks like huge heading blocks)

May I ask what you switched to? Running into the same issue.

#48How would this run on, say, a M2 Pro MBP with 32GB RAM?

That should be more than enough. I've been running Ollama on an M1 Max with 64GB of RAM without issue.

#50Running with a Local LLM on a Mac M1, this completely locked up my system for minutes. I tried to let it run, because the progress bar was ticking every now and then, but after 10 minutes I gave up and killed it.
