For those interested, we created a Twitter thread answering questions brought up during the livestream: https://twitter.com/dendronhq/status/1471579014183718913

Also: some people asked about the extension used in the stream for presenting slides in VSCode. The team was using

vscode-reveal

, which uses RevealJS. I'm definitely going to be making use of this. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=evilz.vscode-reveal

@User I am exploring the tags feature, after specifying the tags in frontmatter or inline hash tags i select "Goto Note" which creates an empty tag.md file , how do i find notes where i have used the same tag

You can see them in the graph view

How do i see all the notes associated with specific tag ? if i click on the tag in graph view, it points to blank tag.md file

backlinks panel -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/gHdxXlNMr1w4xqee0n-Mb.html#7-backlinks-pane in dendron, we build on top of a few foundational primitives, with notes being one of them. everything is a note. tags are just notes and finding tagged notes is done via the backlinks

Just have passed by a link on logseq forum, which discusses about the limitations of filename (255 char) with hierarchy structure separated by (.) delimiter. Since Dendron also use this method, I’m curious to know if Dendron is also affected by the limit of 255 char in filename of note? Thanks https://discuss.logseq.com/t/proposal-changing-how-namespaces-function-in-logseq/3727

Since that's an operating system level limit, that would affect Dendron as well. 255 characters is pretty long however, and if anyone is hitting that limit we can look into solutions.

this smells like a feature not a bug issue. if you run into that limit, it's an indication that your hierarchy is too long

What Kevin said: indication of need to re-evaluate the hierarchy. The example file they give is like 25+ deep if a Dendron hierarchy. If the words were smaller than just

namespace

repeated, it could be like 40+ deep. At that point, I think something has maybe gone wonky with how something is being managed, hierarchy-wise. If anyone ever runs into it with Dendron, it would be interesting to see how and why. We have tags, for example, that can be used if needed, too.

totally agree that 25+ lvl deep hierarchy is outrageous 😄 the longest hierarchy I've reached is only 68 char. But is it because of this filename limit, that I saw in some schema, they use abbreviation instead of full words? take eg. with this hierarchy

notes.tutorial.google-sheets-excel.power-query.promote-column-header

instead of

tutorial

, i would have put only

t

that could also be refactored down the line. the way it would look inside my workspace for reference

s.google-sheets.ref.power-query

where

s = service

I generally try to keep my hierarchies short (avg is 2-4 levels deep). I would then have the following inside the note

md
## Cookbook

### Promote Column Header
...

I get your point. And I will practice it to experiment. But if I paraphrase your message, it implies that Dendron does not encourage to make atomic notes. Do you think so?

I wouldn't say that. Rather, Dendron's recommendation is to only break notes down to atoms when you need to - aka amoeba: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e780000d-c784-4945-8e42-35218a3ecf10.html When you first study about a new topic, its often not clear a) where the boundaries of different topics are b) how you will use those topics in your work Instead of predicting what things might be atoms, you can refactor things later when you find that its useful to do so. In architecture, there's this concept of a "discovered path" where you don't lay down trails in the fields in the onset but give people a chance to walk over it for a year. Afterwards, you see where the grass was most heavily treaded and put down paths along trails that people have made through use (vs trying to predict how they will use it at the onset) The amoeba pattern is the PKM equivalent of that

Just reporting my experience: I have several domains which contain only atomic notes. I'm not having problems so far, but perhaps I haven't been doing things this way long enough / often enough to run into issues. My note names in these contexts are unabbreviated, so they can get somewhat long (e.g.

zet.systems.hierarchy.partially-decomposable

, but I've yet to have any reason to go more than 4 levels deep

I use the amoeba pattern when I'm exploring a question and the note I'm on reaches critical mass, but on occasion I've also merged several atomic notes into a single subsuming hierarchy when hitherto unseen relations between them became apparent

I'd also chime in to say that in my experience, structure and note size is more obvious for some topics. With others, these are more emergent. Features like sibling navigation and parent/child navigation make it easier to use atomic notes in Dendron than in any other platform I've tried.

Hey guys

is it possible to rename the title in "root.md"

You can give it a different title (title: ... in the frontmatter), but you can't rename the note. You have to have

root.md

.

Noted and Thanks.

I can't remember who I was chatting about awhile back with dendron/todoist integrations, but I noticed that todoist released an SDK for their API recently https://developer.todoist.com/guides/#our-sdks

might make for a good pod integration

i'll have to look more into that, haven't dove into the dev side of dendron.... yet

haha, whenever you do, ping me in #748936364283920495 happy to give pointers on good places to get started

Hello. Not sure where to put this. It's the getting started page.

That's in safari. I checked chrome and it looks okay there.

thanks for the tip, issue with our css which we'll address

@User sorry to ping you but not sure where to comment on it, https://wiki.dendron.so/ seems rather broken for me. Tried both chrome and firefox. Getting some kind of next.js error and it starts reloading

would prefer you ping me in these cases. it was an issue with an update. i just pushed a fix so it should be good now
