I think Dendron has been doing a good job of persisting that knowledge, we've been tracking questions asked on Discord in Airtable and we've recently started making the questions & their solutions public so it's available outside Discord too: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558/#public-issues

One of the most time consuming recurring parts of my job is turning ephemeral discussions in a chat app into a searchable artifact. I occasionally push to have the discussion directly in the long term place (gh discussion, or various wiki products that don't require you to use git), but the chat app doesn't fully go away since it gives you the chance to get input from bystanders since a chat tends to be more browsable than the longterm places. The starboard/bookmarking workflow is quite nice as long as what you need to save is in 1 message. Things break down a bit when there are threads, I wish I could either write a query to keep all the messages that fulfill a criteria (daterange, blocklist/permitlist keyword or people) that schleps all the raw material into a raw textfile of some kind (MD or JSON) so that a motivated individual can organize the discourse into something tidier (either dendron or a tool with a spatial component) RE: the airtable - that's awesome! Slightly curious about the decision to host the FAQ in airtable vs as part of Dendron itself.

for airtable - we actually master the data in dendron. we use the [Airtable pod](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/rHxjw4xX6EynKAWSUxAo6) to sync with airtable so we can create interfaces and filters based off that data

Do any of the pods have a bidirectional sync, or do they all treat dendron as the source of truth?

generally they all treat dendron as the source of the truth. the exception is gdocs which we import back to dendron

When I try to create a template that uses "getDayOfWeek", I keep getting "e.getDay is not a function" errors. Any idea why?

I can reproduce this. Looks like a regression on our end. Can you create a bug report for this?: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md&title=

Sure!

I've descended down a rabbit hole of CLI based note taking apps. I feel like I'm time travelling backwards from org-mode, vimwiki, forwards to nb, and some one-liner fzf based solutions. There's a madness in the air...

Will we have a similar pods for Fibery (I’m using it personally as a free alternative of Airtable) or Nocodb would be also great https://fibery.io/ https://nocodb.com/

Anyone having any luck with copilot? Seems everyone else talks about amazing game-changing results - all I'm seeing is hot garbage that makes no sense.

never used tbh, but it smells like you end up spending more time trying to get it to find your wanted solution, and it prolly deprecates yourself

also can lead you to believe a vulnerable or buggy solution, which you could have otherwise known by reading the docs

I'd need a xml viewer, do you guys know some extension? I couldn't find any in the vscode marketplace, maybe I didn't check thoroughly

there exist a bunch of them if you search from only xml

xml almost identical to html on structure

With xml viewer I meant an extension able to display the xml rather the code structure itself Because there are many xml extensions... I've tried

xml grid view

but unluckily it didn't work for me @José Longo

I just hit a merge conflict in a powerpoint file, that's a new one 🤣

how'd you resolve it?

Surprisingly smoothly, just pick to accept or reject the other version for each image/textbox. Fortunately versions were me anyway!

Came across a startup that makes public discords indexable, quite a few OSS projects use it, as well as the "future of coding" slack (which used a custom built tool for this before). Not sure how I feel about it yet, but seems like it could help: https://www.linen.dev/

thanks for the tip - we're actually talking to them now 🙂

hey guys, i finally started manage to start to learn VS Code, I am trying to set up my hot keys , but eventho i have disabled "activating menu bar by pressing alt" i am still getting it activated when i use alt+shift+s or whatever hotkey i use. i couldn't find any solution on google. do you guys have any solution for this issue?

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but mostly I just avoid using

alt

in my keybindings. I use whichkey with my leader key set to space, so I've got a pretty large namespace for keybindings without needing to use too many modifiers: https://vspacecode.github.io/docs/whichkey/

Wow this is the first I've heard of "whichkey", but it seems like something I could benefit from too. I am having some trouble googling effectively for what it is, do you have any suggestions? (I read the vsspacecode extension page you linked to, but it's still a bit fuzzy for me).

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WhichKey seems promising, I'm not clear about what an emacs "minor mode" is, but it's the most concise explanation I could find.

My understanding is that minor modes are something like filetype plugins for vim if you're familiar with those, but on steroids or something. The most prominent mature incarnations of this kind of interface that I'm most familiar with are doom emacs () and spacemacs (), maybe the documentation / search spaces for those projects might be helpful, but yeah, I'm not sure 😅

I haven’t used any emacs or vim plugins, I know just enough vim to amend a commit message when ssh’ing into a place with a GUI 😅. These are good leads though, I’ve made a bookmark to try this out on a clean install and see if it helps me. Appreciate the tips!

what's neat is that it works very well for many of the same reasons that Dendron does - hierarchically organizing the keybindings means you can grow out as many (or as few) as you need organically, according to your real usage patterns, without having to worry about running out of space, or that things will get out of control. Best of luck!
