@User Many thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I like your explanation and description of an "amoeba note" and use of note/block references. That helps. It also is useful for me to think about the taxonomy of these notes. As you describe exel-code in the name or code|excel as an identifier. The important point here as a principle is to be consistent. Somehow include this description/explanation in the schema. I am not sure if the schema could enforce this rule but would be nice. I am also thinking about the use of the "near" term in regex. I too think it would help in cases like this... excel NEAR code. To identify. I think the description and use of these operators might also use these outlier areas @User Roam also has a robust following around queries, which are very powerful. These queries introduce the more complex building of AND or OR. This is one of my favorite uses in roam. Not sure if we have equivalent functionality but something to think about. Thoughts?

> @User I think this starts to be FAQ material 🙂 @User completely agree. i've been taking often discussed topics in discord and seeding the home page with content. @User could you add the discussion to the faq? updated the contribution docs so its now possible to update the faq either on the page or by checking out the template repo. would be great to get your feedback on that workflow as well 🙂 https://www.dendron.so/notes/125c990b-6fe7-4ada-a65f-44cbde8b33f0.html#documentation

Thoughts? @User roam queries are great and definitely something we want to support in dendron. are roam queries limited to the document or can you use them in search? currently, you can find notes using the below methods: - lookup via hierarchy - vscode search - find tags by references in the future, we want to support: - querying by custom frontmatter attributes: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/152 - query by attributes with logical operators: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/159 we also want to support some subset of the queries as note references (https://www.dendron.so/notes/f1af56bb-db27-47ae-8406-61a98de6c78c.html) so that the results can be included in page

@User many thanks for upcoming support to queries!. Comment about Schemas for beginners: I am having trouble creating my first schema in a workspace I created from scratch. Following the section under topics...still leaving me with questions. My sample schema is not working even after I reload the index. Not sure what is going on. On the workspace list my icon before the schema yaml file looks like it has a ! like this: ! pkm.schema.yml I am assuming something is wrong and needs attention. Personally, IMO, schemas are the most interesting, unique yet most difficult for me to create (I am not a programmer and this is the first time I create one) I am going to switch over to the dendron and try to experiment from there to get a better undestanding. Just to make it simple, I did a copy and paste from Kevins example without any luck. Here is my screenshot for thoughts.

it looks like a spacing issue. the following should be at the same level

yml
- id: pkm
  title: pkm
  desc: ""
  parent: root

yeah, schemas have definitely been the bit that has caused people the most trouble. i hope to create a schema builder over the next week that will help people make schemas without having to deal with yaml 😅

in the meantime, you can run

show schema graph

to visualize your schema which makes things a bit nicer

(note that you'll have to run

reload graphs

for schema changes to show up - this is in addition to

reload index

)

still no luck. I like the idea of a schema builder. what is the "! pkm.schema.yml" mean...a problem I suppose. It remains even after I adjust the spacing

the spacing needs to be at the same level with two spaces

yml
schemas:
- id: pkm
  title: pkm
  ...
- id: cli
  desc: ...
...

you can use something like

http://www.yamllint.com/

to check your yaml for syntax issues

That worked! I think a special section on syntax with a link to the YAML Validator with an example: 1. example wrong 2. example2.wrong 3.example3.right might help to illustrate. Suggest most common errors. Many thanks for your patience....Simple tasks becoming easier..1 day at a time...Dendron.day5

@User I have read the articles on your website...excellent and well written! Immensely helpful. Any other recommended books/articles on heirarchical notetaking you like?

> @User I have read the articles on your website...excellent and well written! Immensely helpful. Any other recommended books/articles on heirarchical notetaking you like? @User i don't actually know of anyone that does hierarchal note taking part of my goal with dendron is making people aware of it. if you find other articles about it, please let me know 😅

otherwise, i'm planning on publishing more on it as well

> could you add the discussion to the faq? @User Sure, will try to formulate something there

@User Is there anyway to see a list of recently modified files in dendron? I put something somewhere and I don't remember where I put it lol

i run a cron job that commits my notes every hour and then look into

git logs

😅

(so short answer - not yet)

ahhhh ok

thanks

Can you share how you use the cron?

@User one thing to highlight for doc changes; if one uses github editing only, it's impossible to see if the links are created right(?). Other than that, I think it's pretty smooth.

(feel free to change any text in the pr)

@User this is the error I got when trying to run the template

now that I see it, its just a different node version so its fixable 🙂

not sure why you set those versions as requirement
