i'm not sure its an issue with dendron. but for instance, Cmd-L brings up the search for note, but typing lang. to try and invoke a new note just shows the 'loading stripe'

Here's the offending line as a file attachment

did you open dendron as a workspace? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/a6c03f9b-8959-4d67-8394-4d204ab69bfe.html#engine-not-initialized

well, I thought so

but when I initialized a new workspace and it worked so ...

so sometimes you can open a folder without opening a workspace. wonder if that's whats happening here?

@kevins8 and the dendron team, congratulations for the amazing seed round you've accomplished. I'm sure this will accelerate the project and will make dendron grow faster and stronger!

I must admit that my relationship with vscode is not in it's best moment, I struggle a lot to get used to it and eventually had to come back to emacs. But being someone who works on open source products I definitely see what this capital means and how beneficial it can be for creating a rock solid product. Nice job guys!

I definitely want to check what is new with dendron since looks like I've missed lots of good things here 😃

I just started using VIM for VSCode... wonder if there’s an extension for you to make the ramp from emacs to vscode smoother

Actually I've been using that vim extensions with viscose since I use emacs with evil mode vim keybindings for emacs). My "problem" is that I am so used to a full keyboard workflow and navigation, and I've been struggling accomplishing that in vscode

My use case is not the common one though, I know this is not a problem for most of the people 😂

oh nice .. yeah there's another project that might interest you though it's not compatible with Dendron yet - https://github.com/onivim/oni2

I need to start looking into full keyboard workflows and more ergonomic setups on my desk. I visited the doctor just two days ago for RSI on my pinky. What triggered it was a 3 hour session of seasoning my new wok 😅 but I bet the "repetitive strain" part came from sitting in front of the keyboard all day.

Oh yes, I have onivim in my sights since the beginning, and probably if it would be compatible with dendron I would jump into it immediately. Haha

I know that feeling haha I had some problems in the past as well. The problem with full keyboard workflows is that when you get used to it, you cannot live without it

Big props on your seed investment @User. Really looking forward to see whats more to come with Dendron.

I had an epiphany today that the reason I like dendron is that I don't have to click around manually to select or create the right folders before I even put down a word. Every other tool I tried in the past required I organise folders by clicking around which ultimately deterred me from the activity.

yeah, keyboard navigation is a big thing for me (vim has that drilled into my head). the goal is to help you create structure without friction

Do you already have thoughts on how you are going to approach a mobile/ipad version?

+1 for vim yes.

so mobile is something we'll be looking at though plans are still fuzzy. for smartphone, its likely that we'll figure out some different interface that is just for lookup and easy capture instead of the full blown vscode interface. for ipad, we should be able to do something closer to the desktop app. but eta for this is probably closer to the end of the year

Good to know about the timeline. Yes a full blown interface for mobile is probably an overkill. my wishlist would be markdown preview on ipad and lookup+journal shortcuts. Am contemplating on cobbling up a small tool to sync notes from Joplin (which has a decent mobile/ipad app) to Dendron vault for now. Need to think about this a bit more

Are you aware of this vscode plugin: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rxliuli.joplin-vscode-plugin? It brings Joplin notes into VSCode so may help with syncing.The idea to hook into the web clipper is quite clever imho. I played about with it to move notes from Joplin into Dendron but then decided it's not that urgent at the moment.

Running into a weird bug. Repro steps: 1) use CTRL+L to bring up lookup. 2) enter the name of a non-existent page. 3) select create new. 4) add a little bit of content. 5) use CTRL+L to bring up lookup. 6) enter the name of a sibling to the current page. 7) select create new. notice that the content added to the first page is now inside the second page, and no longer present in the first.

Do you have

selectionExtract

enabled? This takes whatever text yoy selected and take it to the new note when you create it

I wrote up a RFC for improving the graph of Dendron [RFC 7 Graph Rework](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/c998c642-a748-4f77-9285-cfec35330251.html) I would be happy to recive further comments and contributions to it.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that setting. I'll check tonight if it's because I selected stuff. That said, the selection2link option also sounds like something I wouldn't want. Is there anyway to make the behaviour ignore selection?

Have you guys considered any kind of hook system so that e.g. at the end of a session or on-changes you could automatically redeploy, sync notes, etc.? Git is great, but if you're using a lot of images it makes the repo pretty heavy. I was considering just using an s3 bucket to store all of my notes, and would love if things automatically synced when I was done or saved.

not yet but we can make it configurable if you submit a feature request
