function now. At first I didn't understand the use of the link
over the scratchpad
, but combined the schemas and the auto-new note auto-naming features, I'm feeling the magic. It's allowing me a workflow of extrapolating on a thought without the anguish of what to name or where to save the new note. The workflow feels natural and I dont need to worry about "misplacing" the note. Just shift-backarrow to select the text, cmd+L, select link, write some thoughts, and ctrl-tab back to writing the original note. I'm also using it by copy-pasting entire source articles into a Dendron and using link
to write my own notes on parts, while keeping the source article intact. Great design thinking!HeyyyyJinn

to pull each H6 marked question it into its own note nested under the Dendron hierarchy, then Ctrl+Shift+R, Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+V key seqeunce to copy the tranclusion back to the note.
What I have now are flashcard level notes. Later this week going to try configuring the VSCode Anki
addon to push these notes into my anki with a backlink back to Dendron.HeyyyyJinn

, touch
, etc. I hate having to mindlessly manually edit things that could be done with code, and I donโt have the time or knowledge to write scripts to bulk edit HTML or database data, but well documented regex scripts are accessible to a non-technical user like me. I can avoid Roam holding my entire knowledgebase for ransom unless I pay them monthly. That's extortion, not SAAS. Plus Roam doesnt have a mobile client. With Dendron, I have my vault synced to Dropbox and use Epsilon Notes as a mobile client to view them. I can also open and refactor my headings with XMind. Markdown format means being able to choose the best "frontend clients" for my "backend database" of markdown notes.HeyyyyJinn

to parse HTML, plus someone a made Markdown to Anki script, and then someone else made that into a VSCode extension. Open source + the Unix philosophy is a beautiful thing.
c. Being able to use VSCode as my text editor. VS code provides just the right balance of low friction and high power for me to save time. I can do everything I just did with my note in Obsidian, but I'd have to open up a terminal to the right directory and use sed
. It's just faster to pull up a regex enabled search-and replace. Plus, I get to use my own snippets and shortcuts.
d. Dendron's design and commands enable a nice flow while notetaking. Attention to detail, like having separate extract
, link
and scratchnote
commands, minimizes having to open up new windows and copying back and forth, which disorients me. The commands seems like they do similar things, but they're designed to be used during different situations, and when youโre in the moment trying to capture information and not fall behind, having the tool to do what youโre looking for is a blessing.HeyyyyJinn

and transcibe
organizes the X-axis by hierarchy of atomicization and the Y-axis by topic. When I'm done with creating all my DAT exam notes, I'll end up with a clickable and labeled fractal tree mindmap that's not only beautiful, but lets me navigate my notes. I don't have to think too much about "*where did I put that piece of information?*" or rely on grep to find it, I have it visualized in front of me. And another awesome part of Dendron, is that a note can be both a note or a node. As someone with ADHD, this visual and well organized way of navigating information is a natural fit. Once I fill my syllabus full of notes, that feature fill become very handy in both navigating my notes and giving context to the note that I have open in front of me.HeyyyyJinn

. It works in Obsidian and Typora too, though you'd need to bind the snippet via Autohotkey or another tool. It will work when published because it's HTML code, and Markdown gets converted to HTML when it's rendered. You can collapse tables that way too.kevins8
