See it grow in front of your eyes!

(Except for dendron hierarchy instead of filesystem)

nice!

temporal looks great. will be playing around with it! dendron exposes all backlinks and wikilinks if you export using the json pod: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/28dfaaf8-4944-447c-be30-39c514a80bb0.html so if you are ever in the mood of playing around with visualizations... 😇

realized i had been doing commits on github using the wrong email. just updated which made the commit graph all 🌲. can you guess when i started working on dendron? 😅

It's been at least a week 😄

FYI, @User meet @User . he's also doing chakra stuff and is thinking about building out a theme for dendron. @User made all the existing chakra stuff so figure I connect you two 🙂

thanks @User and yes nice to meet you @User was discussing with Kevin during our intro call about Chakra-UI / Design Systems. If you had any ideas or anything planned let me know 🙂

https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/583 Submitted an issue on a small enhancement for the refactor hierarchy command.

haven't looked into the code yet but I think it's pretty straightforward? I may work on it tomorrow

or do you guys prefer the community to tackle the items in the april roadmap first?

the roadmap is just a guidance. go at it 🙂

got it

Hey #748936364283920495, I just asked the rest of the community for #739186036495876126 so we'll see what they have to say. In the meantime, two things about the list of community issues here: https://github.com/orgs/dendronhq/projects/1#column-13569288: 1. If you think there needs to be an issue in the "Community" column, please add it (or let me know and I can get it added). 2. If you have some time next month and want to work one something useful to the community - please do so from the list (anything unassigned should be fair game). We'll have these stack ranked so start from the top 🙂 If you're unsure, please DM me and we can figure out something to work on.

This is 🔑 feedback - the roadmap is just what the rest of the community wants but doesn't need to take away from what you want built here. If you've got a burning desire for a feature, don't let the existing Github issues stop you. I just wanted to make sure the rest of the issues were organized in case you want something to work on but aren't sure where to start 🙂

submitting an issue with a dendron log, first time seeing this in my entire career 😄

also copy-pasting my dendron logs literally made my laptop freeze for 9 minutes haha

Looks like OniVim2 reveals an exception during install of Dendron that VSCode doesn't bubble up: https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3311#issuecomment-807758647

dendron keeps appending to the current log session until you reload the window. depending on your usage, the log might grow if you've been at it for a long time. we'll be working on splitting the logs for future releases

ah, this is because we're currently looking for a vscode workspace file. we are planning on removing this requirement and i'm aiming to get this work done in april. https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/322

Some issues with the fuzzy matching in lookup led me to look up (hehe) some algorithms online. I did a bit of searching for fuzzy string matching because I had to do a lot of fuzzy matching and scoring on not-so-clean street addresses for real estate applications in the past, and I found complex algorithms were a bit of a pain to work with sometimes because there are a lot of thresholds and parameters to tweak to get what you want. After a while you realize that's not really what you want and you keep having to tweak it. Today I stumbled upon this article : https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/ It's a dead simple fuzzy match inspired by the one in Sublime text and has got feedback from Jon Skinner himself. Do you think it's worth looking into a simpler algorithm for fuzzy string matching on lookup? A quick look into the code it seems we are using fusejs, which uses a modified bitap. I remember quickly giving up on using this(bitap, not fusejs) at work because it was so fiddly for my use case. Maybe it's not working so well with our hierachy? Just a thought. @User

fusejs has taken us this far but I'm actually looking for a better alternative to deal with the extended hierarchies use case. i love sublime fuzzy search and will be reading this. can you also mention this in our fuzzy issue tracker? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/136

sure thing

I looked into fusejs a couple weeks ago and tried different settings because it was not matching properly. Changing the settings didn't seem to make much difference and I didn't manage to make it work properly. It made me wonder how "fuzzy" we really need to be.... when all I wanted was just a simple word match, that fusejs was not able to do. The search pattern was "pair". I was looking for a file name I created the day before: "software.development.concepts.pair.programming" fusejs does not match anything. It works if I type "pai" but the minute I add the last character "r" it returns an empty list. I am not sure if "fuzzy searching" is over complicating things when it can't even do the simple things right.

Will add more comments in the ticket

I see Theia has been mentioned a couple of times in the history.. But has it been considered building a dendron app out of it? Seams like that should be possible without much hassle. Dendron will then have a binary it can easier release. I love the idea of using vscode for notes, but only as an editor, not the vscode "app".. I want a note app that uses vscode, not IS vscode.. Theia might fix this as well 🙂 It also looks like Theia would give much bigger flexibility when it comes to layout. Including having multiple sidebars (one on each side), so one can be dedicated for markdown preview.

its possible - we just currently don't have the bandwidth for that sort of project atm 😅

I'll dig into it some more then. I will report back if I find /make something useful 😀

Where would it be best to centralize discussion w.r.t. readability of markdown? (e.g.: readability of outside links, impact of hierarchical notation on readability - and what we could do to improve it.)
