If I dont have a specific question I usually post it in #717965437182410786 . It usually leads to something more solid and become a github issue.

I have suggested enabling the github discussion tab, which is perfect for these kinds of, well. Discussions 😄

Yeah, I think that could work well. Discord always makes you lose context and then people feel bad for drudging up ancient (read 3 day old) conversations.

Also I think the topic really needs some thought behind it.

And I don't want to flood Kevin with just a bunch of feature requests without some thought behind them 😂

You got it 🙂 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions

Let's keep it small for now and expand to the rest of the community once we feel like it's working well for us.

Easter weekend is here and I finally got some free time to makes this RFC about the Dendron design system as posted a while ago 🙂 https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/748936364283920495/824772966545358849 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site/pull/75

this is awesome. just merged 🙂

@User @User Here's a build with extra diagnostics. Can you install this and next time you see the vault issue, run

> Diagnostics Report

and sent me the output? https://artifacts-prod-artifactb7980f61-19orqnnuurvwy.s3.amazonaws.com/publish/dendron-0.35.2-alpha.0.vsix Thanks!

Will do! Is there any extra setup necessary beyond just installing it & restarting VS Code?

nope, that’s it. when you do a lookup, you’ll see the version number to know that you have the right version

working on the dendron-design-system example. Is there an svg form of the logo or only the png one on this page? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/734a8c36-baff-43d1-8b12-99bb16837049.html

So I've discussed some of my experiments over in #766135383335370783 on using Dendron to support

reading notes

, for textbooks I own. My main problem is the nav panel doesn't work well with the textbook structure as represented by set of, (mostly empty), notes I've create outside of Dendron, (think

touch

plus

Dendron: Doctor

). To go forward, I think my best bet is to just scrap Dendron's nav panel and replace it with the one from the Publisher's

read it online

offering, (neglecting ip issues for the moment, as this is just a personal experiment at the moment). Towards that end, I want to dump a some thoughts, experiment results, and intuitions about Dendron's guts, to get some feedback. To mock-up what I'm intending, I just

pasted the book navigation JS over Dendron's *tree-nav* code

using Chrome's devtools, despite needing adjustment, (links fixed to target the notes, scrolling added to the div, bigger div width or smaller font...) it looked nice. To give the mock-up more permanence, I figure I'll build the site and make the edits on the resulting files. * NB,

...: Site Preview

does not seem to populate the

doc

folder *

...: Site Build

seems to require a

site-url

and do the deployment for you? * so any subsequent use would clobber my hand crafted edits I think my best bet would be to use a container with a webserver, put that under git, so I could throw away any clobbering that takes place. Then I can run the container locally and point my browser at it to check builds. Note: I not really a webhead

@User svg

and here are photoshop, illustrator and various other assets 😅

site build generates files into docs. the nav is loaded asynchronously so if you wanted a different nav, you could modify the nav script. you can see the code for it here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/dev-kevin/packages/dendron-cli/src/commands/build-site-v2.ts#L106:L106

Per the RFC #6, here's an example of what could be the Dendron design-system 😄 https://goofy-jackson-767e07.netlify.app/ I have a WIP Pull Request on the go, still a draft basically https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/pull/602

Next component was thinking I could add would be the button from the main page.

just left a minor comment on the pull request. nice work 👍

Nice use of a GitHub feature I didn't know about 😆 . A little help parsing

the nav is loaded asynchronously

, assuming you using asynchronously in the digital sense i.e. “having each operation started only after the preceding operation is completed” [[dictionary.com]] You are referring to firing it off in some point of the webpage load sequence?, i.e. load the note in its unique

ID-incorporating

html file format and then start the nav load, letting it adjust to what levels should be open? > My understanding of asynchronously, (gleaned by osmosis) is more like fired off in its own thread without regard to when it finishes, i.e. a callback without worrying about signaling its return.

To get around the siteUrl not set error I pointed to my local repo

version: 1
vaults:
    -
        fsPath: vault
useFMTitle: true
noLegacyNoteRef: true
site:
    copyAssets: true
    siteUrl: file://localhost/C:\VC\git\bk.Programers_Brain
    writeStubs: false
    siteHierarchies:
        - root
    siteRootDir: docs
    usePrettyRefs: true
    title: Dendron
    description: Personal knowledge space
    duplicateNoteBehavior:
        action: useVault
        payload:
            - vault

now it builds and puts the files in

docs

oh wow this is great stuff 👀

@User can you roughly walk me through the steps on how schema templates are applied during note creation? I want to see if we can wrap the template body in a `SnippetString`: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#SnippetString

here's the function: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/dev-kevin/packages/common-all/src/dnode.ts#L802:L802 an easy way to figure out whats going on is to manually set a debugger inside `applyTemplates`: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/b239c77e-52f2-4cc3-8390-69e0bc776a72.html#breakpoints

👍

I'm working on a Dendron/Theia app.. I added the dendron + the 2 depending extensions, but I'm getting this error:

error: {"ctx":"A:run","err":{"status":"unknown","msg":"","payload":"{\"msg\":\"c.default.Uri.joinPath is not a function\",\"stack\":\"TypeError: c.default.Uri.joinPath is not a function\\n    at A.execute (/Users/xeor/Temp/dendron-theia/theia-apps/theia-electron/plugins/dendron/extension/dist/extension.js:736:71386)\\n    at async A.run (/Users/xeor/Temp/dendron-theia/theia-apps/theia-electron/plugins/dendron/extension/dist/extension.js:9:103586)\\n    at async /Users/xeor/Temp/dendron-theia/theia-apps/theia-electron/plugins/dendron/extension/dist/extension.js:9:79725\"}"}}

Anyone that knows of the top of their head where this default.Uri.joinPath is coming from? This happens when I try to initialize the workspace

uhm.. seams like https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/issues/8752

hmm, good to know. there's only a few places where we use

joinPath

so we can fallback to using regular

path.join

instead

i can make this change as part of tomorrows release
