Will next.js require JavaScript? I know my work computer doesn’t have it or limits it somehow, and VS Code being portable is a big thing for my use case

next.js requires a js runtime but it makes use of the node runtime that comes with VSCode 🙂

Sweet thank you!

np! dendron is moving in the direction of being more portable across more places so if we ever do something that runs counter to that, do let me know 😅

Love it; there’s a lot to admire in your design ethos, thanks so much!

Video Error in MPE: What I'm seeing:

This is from the dendron.install.md file, you can search for "youtube" and see the same image, except the for the file: dendron.topic.publishing.quickstart.md. Comparing them I think I see what is going on. The "working" example is an inline html link to its video with a still image to be shown before playing, the other youtube videos are specified via markdown with no such still image specified. Whatever MPE is using as its rendering-browser is not capable of playing video, and as these videos have no still image, this pops up! I expect if you took away the still image from any of the other video links, you'd get this "apparent" error too.

@User i've seen this issue as well. i don't remember if this was a mpe issue or a vscode webview issue but I remember it being one of those two. mpe uses markdown-it to render html

If webview is what vscode uses to render the html MPE generates, then this has to do with webviews inability to play video, e.g. if you click a video in MPE, it opens that video in your system default browser. As the other videos in the dendron notes' videos are hidden behind "still" this isn't apparent there.

i know webview also has some restrictions on certain script executions. don't remember if similar restrictions apply for iframes (i think they do)

fun code updates: with the server migration behind us, I took yesterday to clean up the code base. ended up cutting ~8k lines of code. goal was to bring it under 100k lines of code but I guess that will be for another day 😅

Webview can't handle .svg images either. Converted to .png 's but still no joy, white version with an alpha channel is invisible, gray version the same for some reason. Might want to have MPE default to a .png version of any .svg for rendering

@User Added some descriptions to frontend tasks. You can find them here: - https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/labels/area.ui Note that the above link filters for all issues related to UI. In the future, we'll have an RSS feed per area so that folks can subscribe to areas that they are interested in! I would recommend starting with https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/327 since it's the most fleshed out in terms of documentation and requirements 🙂

Thanks for the ping. I'm super familiar with Formik (I was actually working on a form with Formik when you pinged me on this today), so this seems up my alley. Time over the next few days is a little limited, but gonna try to get the serve up-and-running and such before EOW.

haha, must be a sign :) sounds good, no rush and post if you run into anything!

I've made some documentation changes to my fork of https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-template, what do I need to summit a PR? Do I need added as a contributor?

@User a pull request would be great. you shouldn't need anything to submit a PR

heads up that the next version of vscode (1.52) will make it possible hide snippets 🥳 this means we can have live completion turned on without having to turn off snippets (otherwise, the builtin markdown snippets get too annoying) https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10565#issuecomment-721832613

@User did you have a chance to look at the nextjs stuff this weekend? no worries if not, just want to make sure there weren't any blockers when trying to get things setup

@User Doing it now 🙂 Had a busy weekend.

The bootstrapping script seems to be giving me grief right now

oh, that was a bad package from a previous dependency

if you pull the latest, it should be gone now

I just cloned this a few minutes ago.

hmm, it might be because of the lock file

That's my suspicion as well.

cd packages/dendron-next-server

and

rm yarn.lock rm package-lock.json

Can do. (i'd imagine we only want one of those files in general, as well)
