do people have a workflow for future tasks? I'm using daily journals where i have today's tasks but I'm curious if people have a system for todos that are actionable at a future date. some possible ideas: - add them everyday to the daily journal and move them forward

[>]

- create a future daily journal entry ahead of time and put the task there - have a standing list of tasks outside of daily journals

systems like bullet journals and similar have monthly/future logs

oh perfect i'll try out the future log

Thanks for sharing this pkm open catalogue. I try to contribute to the implementation of

Hierarchical notes

by

Logseq

and

Obsidian

, but the

Edit this page on Github

led to the 404 page. Does this site still being available to contribute?

The actual repository is here: https://github.com/dendronhq/catalogue-open-pkm

You can fork it, make the changes on your fork, then send a pull request. If you clone it to your computer, you can also edit it with Dendron

Thanks for your guide. I will try it. If you have spare time, can you teach me what’s wrong with the configuration of this pkm dendron workspace? And how can I avoid this 404 error when clicking on the ‘Edit on GitHub’ link if I publish site via Dendron?

Multiple parents' question: Imagine that I wanted to have ingredients and recipes. Recipes can follow a hierarchy, but I do not know what would be the best way to connect ingredients with recipes, provided that a single ingredient can be used in multiple recipes. Should I use tags? Would it be possible to see/list all recipes that use a certain ingredient?

I've been trying to do this with links. In my system, it's something like: recipes and ingredients get different hierarchies. Recipe notes are assembled from links and reference links to whatever nodes of the ingredient hierarchy are required. To see all recipes that use a certain ingredient, I could inspect the list of backlinks on the note for said ingredient for all the recipe notes that link to it. Effectively, each link ends up functioning as a tag.

some ingredients are composed out of other ingredients

so marzipan might be decomposed into subassemblies of sugar, honey, and almond meal

the ingredient - recipe distinction ends up being that ingredients have a standardized interface for composition through reference while recipes are tailored to concrete contexts

a public example of what I'm talking about would be something like this outline for a finished talk which is composed of atomic note ingredients: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/z5opHsGrNmCib7YQfLv6XbYURzZgZmx4Mrh5y

Thank you @User! Let me see if I follow you. You basically say that instead of having multiple parents, ingredients follow a different hierarchy (in dendron's slang: a different schema). The relationships are built through links (i.e. adding

[[ingredient.myingriedient]]

to a recipe), so I in the ingredient's page, I can see all their backlinks, which is great! Am I right?

Custom frontmatter fields: I've read this page on the documentation: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ffec2853-c0e0-4165-a368-339db12c8e4b/ but it is not clear to me if it makes sense to create a template with custom frontmatter fields. If I did so, where can I see their values? Can I access them somehow?

Yeah, that seems to be about the gist of what I was suggesting. Of course you have a lot of flexibility and choice within and around that. One of the great things about Dendron is that it's possible to experiment with different organizational schemes without accumulating unworkable amounts of technical debt (although I suppose YMMV). Glhf finding what will work best for you!

I hear that more advanced, powerful ways to interact with these are on their way, but for now you can use regex lookups, e.g.

^title:[...]

, to find notes by attribute and do things with them

I see... great! thanks!

And I do not know were to ask this, but *what would the recommended setup if I wanted to use dendron for private notes + work projects (shared with team mates *-some of those notes may be published whereas others will not). Would you suggest creating vaults on a per project basis (each of them being a github repo) + a github repo for templates and then create a third repo for the workspace containing all the vaults and templates? Does that make sense? Is it overkill?

maybe have a gander at the discussions in #783027389919658025 . I don't use vaults this way personally, so I don't have much to say about it, but again, you have a lot of choices, and flexibility to move between different alternatives, so you can experiment. If you're using Dendron with projects that already have gh repos, you may be interested in the new 'native workspaces' functionality: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/lamzybrD6SgQlJ9BpwkQk/ . There's little cost to setting up multiple vaults and workspaces, since hard drive space is cheap. You'll find out whether or not there's too much overhead when you try to use them to get things done. I'd recommend starting out with as little structure as you need, and expanding organically as needed (somewhat like 'Amoeba pattern' for iterative schema generation: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e780000d-c784-4945-8e42-35218a3ecf10/), rather than putting down lots of structure and then scaling back.

Thanks again, @User . That's precisely my concern and the virtue of dendron: there are so many possibilities that I get lost. On the other hand, I do not want to overkill using every possible feature, especially considering that I've just started using it. I will also be reading Kevin's answer in the thread

For future tasks, I link to a future date and use backlinks to find the origin. I've found it is handy to remind myself when the task was created. E.g., I may have a task called 'Report ABC for Project XYZ' that was created under 2021.12.02.meeting-with-john-smith and link to 2021.12.08. Then, when December 8 rolls around, I canlook at the backlinks and remember the context for the original note (usually 'Wow, I agreed to that last week but haven't started, better block some time today and tell John Smith he's important').

I've run into a weird behavior with wikilinks that's a little hard to describe. I noticed that some of my notes with lots of wikilinks seemed to run a little slower, so I tried to temporarily reduce the text decoration Dendron would perform by making "improper" wikilinks. So instead of [[example.wikilink]], I used a few variations like [[example.wikilink]` or [example.wikilink], with the idea that I could change them back when I wanted them to function properly. That does reduce the text decoration—but it also seems to interfere with other, "proper" wikilinks further down in the same note. I'd just get a message like "no definition found for 'example.wikilink'". If I went made the "improper" ones higher in the note "proper", then the lower "proper" links began to work just fine. Is this the expected behavior somehow?

What do you mean by interfere. Does the highlighting get broken, or does Goto Note stop working?

We do have some fixes for the performance of notes with lots of links coming out by the way, they were merged late Thursday so it should be available this week or next week :)

Good question! The Goto Note stops working, as does the pop-up preview pane. But it is highlighted correctly.

I can't seem to break my Goto Note this way 😅 please feel free to submit a bug report for it though, Goto Note should still work even if there's a bad wiki link before it.

Thanks! I'll submit a bug report tomorrow. I just played around a little more this this note, and it seems specifically like having a single backtick at the end, instead of one of the square brackets, can make it happen for me. So: [[example.wikilink]`

Ah, I think that's because "`" puts you in a code block. I think that might be expected behavior
