    Hi guys I'm not very active in here I'm just ask a question now and then when I run into a problem and this community has been very helpful, thank you. I just want to share my thoughts about the end of the Dendron extension development with you. First of all I love the tool, is my default for almost everything that I do. I came to Dendron after a long search of the ultimate tool for PKM that it was "ended" with Obsidian. It was a time consuming huge problem all the migration from tool to tool until I stay with Dendron because it made all so simple for me. Every app uses .md files now but with his own flavors that make the migration process a nightmare some times and now I'm moving to Obsidian because I personally don't like not actively developed tools. That been said, I learned a lot when using Dendron and the most important thing for me was to keep your note system simple and as much app agnostic as posible (emphasis on posible). In my experience you must try to build your system into your notes, not the app. The dot hierarchy system solves this problem nicely because is in your filenames, a thing that I believe isn't going to change in a long time. This is a simple and amazing thing that will keep your notes organized everywhere. Is true that you lose features like schemas that are very helpful but you may gain other feature form the tool you choose next. The other thing is the markdown flavor, keep it as simple as posible too in order to smooth the transition, you can always open your vault in VSCode and use Regex to bulk fix some things. Although Dendron is almost the perfect tool for me the most value I got from it was how to build my system in an app agnostic way and for that I'm grateful. Thanks to @kevins8, the core team and this community. Sorry for my english, is not my native language.

    Hey guys, great job on your work with Dendron! I was first introduced to it over two years ago, but never ventured past basic note taking. Recently, I caught up with your YouTube videos and was happy to see the progress made within the community. Especially the talk by @ScriptAutomate, really got my ideas flowing. It appears that we'll be witnessing more and more vaults (of quite the size) in the near future. Currently, I'm experimenting with LLM's, with a focus on prompt engineering. My goal is to satisfy my immediate need to summarize categories of subscribed-to content by transcribing, summarizing, and organizing it into Dendron. This part is somewhat trivial. The real challenge lies in how to then locate and utilize the readily available content efficiently, and in a way that adapts a reverse model of content consumption (learning on the way in). Do you know if Dendron plans to invest in some form of search capabilities? I believe that would be the icing on the cake in the future. Imagine quickly creating a Dendron vault from a data source containing thousands of books on a particular topic. The classifier would do an excellent job organizing the content in a Dendron-friendly way. However, once the content is organized, the challenge shifts to navigating/absorbing/learning from it. One would highly benefit from some intelligent search techniques (content-aware) to help me navigate the newly acquired knowledge repository. So in other words, we've figured out how to have the AI digest and summarize data. I am not too familiar within the search space, aside from some work on entity resolution.

    seems like reinventing the wheel as the underlying lookup/hierarchy was built w/ the VSC search/indexing in place

    Alive but not growing is more accurate, at least according to @kevins8 (aka the founder). This, by the way, is a state of a typical adult mammal, say, the one like yourself. Not growing, in fact living with accelerating cell death, but still working and even learning here and there. Definitely not dead. πŸ˜€ At least this is what I wish to believe.

    I'm new to using ChatGPT -- trying to play around with some prompts that would generate pre-built note hierarchies for easy set up in Dendron. Any ideas?

    Hello! Is there a way to add another directory to a Dendron Workspace and use it when clicking CTRL + I? Example: - Both of these directories are in the Dendron workspace:
    Copy code
    C:/Users/<user-name>/Documents/Dendron/vault
    |_file1.md
    |_file2.md
    |_ect.
    C:/Users/<user-name>/Documents/team-docs
    |_teamfile1.md
    |_teamfile2.md
    |_ect.
    I want to be able to click CTRL + I and add files to
    team-docs
    create some docs. Then click CTRL + I to add files to
    vault
    . The reason I need this is because
    team-docs
    uses
    mkdocs
    to generate a static site.

    Hmmm yeah, you could treat it as a multi-vault scenario, maybe? Not sure. Could see my gist such as: - https://gist.github.com/ScriptAutomate/df23bf3cedf9ba8775c0b53da6adefd0 There are certain
    dendron.yml
    configs I mention there that would be helpful, as then you will get prompted where you'd like to make a new note, or if you'd like to move a note, or if you'd like to link to a note from your personal vault to the team-docs vault, etc. Otherwise, Dendron wouldn't have multi-directory support, that I know of

    Yeah; it's too bad, I was hoping that the team can't get paid for their efforts. Still an awesome and well-thought-out tool.

    Dendron is truly awesome. I love it, and I'm forever grateful to @kevins8 and the team and the community. I hope that development gets picked up again by someone. It's so great, it's hard to imagine that it won't.

    should probably assume the lowest level of development (or possibly no more at all) given the lack of an announcement

    however for what it’s worth i did start committing to subscription to the project ($5/month) to try to do a little part to help xD i trust the team would definitely cancel this if it were totally abandoned. so maybe if we get some more donors we can make support for the project more feasible! πŸ™
