https://www.dendron.so/notes/f1af56bb-db27-47ae-8406-61a98de6c78c.html#block-range-reference Does this work? @User

It works as long as the heading doesn't include spaces

true

maybe add

-

or

_

between words?

@User maybe the colon in time is throwing things off. Because the colon is for specifying range of headers. I tried referencing a header like "2020-10-14 10.00" (with a dot in time) and it works fine.

@User thanks a lot that did the trick! In fact I was wrong spaces are fine in headings. So I only need to update my snippet for the Timestamp and I'm good

I ended up binding unicode characters so I can use special characters that are common in notetaking and are meant for human eyes but are also code operators.

I have ：thats different from :

and ⧸ instead of /

Ɂ instead of ? for questions

I also have a few handpicked unicode collation lists with characters that I use as ordinal anchors, in order to display namespace information that programs treat as arrays to display in the right order. I spend waaay too much time and scrutiny developing this system, and its useful for things like getting PARA to look aesthetic and show up in the right order

@User This might save you a step if you're not intending to use Notion as a link archive: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/markdownload-markdown-web/pcmpcfapbekmbjjkdalcgopdkipoggdi

Copies web content directly into Markdown and ready to paste in by using the reader tool in Firefox that everyone uses to get around paywalls.

@User Thanks for the recommendation, this chrome extension is amazing! Seem to work on most of the websites and we can edit the markdown directly in my browser and paste it in dendron

and saves time without the copy to Notion step

Yeah! It supports my dream of having my own frictionless intranet to take notes on. Now when I look up something up on UptoDate.com, a pretty dense medical database, I just copy the whole article into Dendron. Next time Iook up the same topic, I head for my Dendron note, and use

link

to make my own mental wikipedia out of what I understood out of the information. Then when I want to review a topic, give a presentation, or make a review outline, can

reference

in my own notes plus the original context where I read the information in the first place.

Exactly! And Bidirectional Linking is the trend for most of the note taking apps now 😄

> I ended up binding unicode characters so I can use special characters that are common in notetaking and are meant for human eyes but are also code operators. @User haha, this is great. for someone that claims to be not a developer, you have a better workflow then most developers i know 😉

@User when you say you use

link

to make your own mental wikipedia. what do you mean by that?

@User I love to browse and get lost in Wikipedia. I love that you can go from a broad overview, all the way to specific details in the links, straight from Wikipedia, and also get a sense of, and explore, the ontologies and "phylogenies" of the topic, which my mind visualizes as how they are nested in the hierarchy related to other topics. But just reading gives me a tenuous understanding of the topics, and makes me very prone to the Dunning–Kruger effect. One of my favorites way to understand readings is to ask questions (note down questions that come up as I read), write it out in mywords, summarizing things, and quizzing myself. I've lightly experimented with different platforms to do that with, and Dendron does it very well. What I can do with Dendron is to keep my notes linked to the source material- I don't alter the wording of the source material at all, I just create my own

links

from it. It's literally like "zooming into" levels of detail. On top of that, I can create summaries with different level of detail and contextual information from the same notes originating from the source material, which is great for things like exam reviews vs midterm reviews vs final reviews vs Anki reviews.

Has anyone noticed how Dendron's

schema

syntax looks just like the .JSON or .OPML outputted by a mind mapping app? Dendron creates a graph/mindmap not of the individual notes, but of the organization of the notes. So it represents the ontologies and "phylogenies" of knowledge as a map, just like how my mind does. There's something more memorable about navigating to your notes from a map, than from a table of contents or by ctrl-F. https://xkcd.com/256/ Imagine having a map as the homepage to the internet instead of the google homepage. I'd be able to remember, without any tools, where I've been, where remains unexplored, and where I've and why I've revisited.

@User I can better show you with screenshots after I spend more time using Dendron!

> Imagine having a map as the homepage to the internet instead of the google homepage. I'd be able to remember, without any tools, where I've been, where remains unexplored, and where I've and why I've revisited. @User love the idea of notes as maps. currently we're using a graph of the hierarchy but interested in alternative representations. we currently have an outstanding item for representing notes as a mindmap https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/264

@User Since there are some students in this server (I'm a student too), how about a channel for students? We can discussand share Dendron use case/workflow for students there

just created the #766135383335370783 channel 🙂

ahh didn't noticed there's one 😅

that's cause I just created it after your comment 😅

Ok thanks!
