its been an inspiration for me 🙂

Oh yeah I knew about https://learn-anything.xyz/ ! Exciting to see he's got a public garden, will dig into that

👀

Andy Matuschak's notes were really inspiring for me!

Also, one hell of a sexy garden front-end I must say 😄

yeah, his gatsby-fu is top level

Andy's notes are built with gatsby ?

yeah, see this --> https://github.com/aravindballa/gatsby-theme-andy

> Using my initial "tags as links" idea @User - just converted my tags to this - magic! So much nicer workflow here ...

Glad it worked well for you!

I think the original inspiration for this was when I saw that Roam uses #[[]] for tags (just a different styling of wiki links but basically the same functionality)

@User did you try the custom css as well ?

> yeah, see this --> https://github.com/aravindballa/gatsby-theme-andy @User Nice! thanks for sharing, I might use this if I end up publishing a public garden!

👍

once we stabilize the pods api, i'm thinking we might even make publishing as andy-gatsby to be a builtin feature 🙂 https://www.dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html

this link is broken btw

thanks! just fixed

actually have a check_links script. need to build it into the build pipeline 😅

meanwhile, i guess i will rely on you to catch these things!

> @User is it easy to roll back dendron to the version before the mpe was changed - so that the math rendering will be correct? @User dendron markdown preview 0.9.3 is out. this should fix the newline issues you were seeing

@User - haven't used the custom CSS yet .. primarily because I don't use preview that often 🙂

Is there a way to create custom attributes/properties for notes? @User used the example of using tags, but was curious about creating other attributes on the fly like keywords, people, places, themes, contexts etc. In a way, I guess you could create a tag for each but I was looking more for user created attributes much like custom (user defined) database fields. Thoughts?

@User I think you can add custom attributes to the frontmatter

other than the reserved keys/attributes that is: https://www.dendron.so/notes/ffec2853-c0e0-4165-a368-339db12c8e4b.html#reserved-keys

and at some point notes you could find notes according to frontmatter attributes: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/152

@User Many Thanks! I will explore. Curious....this might be a nice #749641193322971238 #742532267058004098 section to add @User As a noob, would like to hear how others are using metadata in their exploration/elaboration of data...best practices. Thoughts...

metadata is currently under utilized because we don't have a built in way of easily querying by it. currently, i use it mainly for tags and also to track things in my journal notes. for example, most of my journal notes have the following

yml
---
...
mood: 3  # scale from 1-5
energy: 4
tags:
- [[tag.milestone]]
---

in the future, it'll be possible to graph the numerical attributes you have in the frontmatter so you can track how they change over time on a per hierarchy basis

@User Hi. For a note reference, could you make its background slightly darker or draw a frame around it so we know it is a "quote" from which note?

One thing I continue to struggle with is keeping context when I use the backlinks/links in a note. I sometimes have "main notes" that link to lots of other ones and what I really want to happen is to open new Windows when I click on them but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Does anyone know how or if there's some shortcut to get VSCode to open markdown links in new Windows?
