    Does anyone have any examples of what a weekly schema would look like? I love the daily journal note idea, but I dont need them by day. I need them by week.

    Or perhaps I just create a daily journal at the beginning of the week and use that for the week? I like being able to click on the "Todays Date" button though to bring my to todays (or this weeks) note

    I can share my journal schema. It has a lot more than just weeks, but it's what I use. Your idea of just having a daily journal and using it for the week might be a good plan, if you like using the calendar. I don't use it much, but I would love for it to add a week number that can link to weekly notes.

    Here you go, @vulfypeck . Like I said, it has a lot more than just weeks, but it's what I use. Hopefully all the comments help you know what to remove to make it do what you want. The screenshot shows how it'll organize and nest your files, plus how you currently need to add dates in the file names for the patterns to work correctly.

    While asking question, does anybody know how to create a bookmarlet which would copy the content of a webpage and automatically turn it into a Dendron note ? (thus call Dendron from the web browser)

    does this affect dendron (in vscode 1.71)?

    Can I add more data to the yaml of Task Notes automatically?

    yes, though it requires multiple steps. 1. create a schema that matches the hierarchy of the task note 2. create a template that applies when the task note is creatd see example below
    Copy code
    yml dendron.yml
        task:
            name: task
            dateFormat: y.MM.dd
            addBehavior: asOwnDomain
    Copy code
    yml task.schema.yml
    version: 1
    imports: []
    schemas:
      - id: task
        title: task
        parent: root
        children:
          - pattern: "[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
            children:
              - pattern: "[0-1][0-9]"
                children:
                  - pattern: "[0-3][0-9]"
                    template: task.temp
                    children:
                      - pattern: "*"
                        template: task.temp
    Copy code
    md task.temp.md

    Am i correct in the fact that I cannot remove any of the "standard" yaml settings? For example I have no need for owner. It gets added in regardless though.

    This is the best note-taking app I've used so far, handsdown the best. Will there be separate desktop app in future with mobile too ?

    I still don't understand schema and yaml yet. Is there any resource to learn yaml for dendron ?

    if you create a template without the owner, does it still get applied?

    for desktop app, we don't have any immediate plans for a separate app this year. that being said, we are planning on releasing a stable public api so you can connect dendron with your own workflows and frontends. you can currently also use it via the CLI

    first day dendron user here! may i ask how do people organise their notes? for context, im learning both biology and computing. from what i read it feels to me the dendron way is to create separate documents for almost every single concept. but would that be extremely hard to read in a sense? and conversely, lumping too many concepts into a single note would make retrieval via the graph panel difficult while i understand notes organisation is certainly a preference thing, some pointers so i dont screw up the organisation of my notes would be great!

    Here's a version of my currently weekly template. I have a long comment that explains it at the top of the file. I hope you find it useful as you make your own! @vulfypeck

    Welcome! This is a great tool and community 😀 . What I would suggest is creating a "biology" and "computing" hierarchy to start. So what I would do is create 2 files: - biology.2022.09.02 - computing.2022.09.02 By creating these 2 files you'll now have a hierarchy for both. Take your notes as you need to in the respective files. Then the next day you could easily create the file for that day, just increase the number "02" to "03" or whatever. That would be to start. I like to hear others' thoughts on this too and correct any mistakes I may have made. 😉

    I would also take advantage of "Scratch Notes". If you need to write something and not sure where to put it, just create a Scratch note. With the power of renaming files (and hierarchies), you can always rename things later. I think the key is to just start somewhere 😀

    Yes, creating a template without the owner still adds it in. In fact, all the "standard" yaml metadata get pulled in. My new item shows up as well

    @Bri Using a date hierarchy for class notes doesn't make sense to me, because it makes finding the information unintuitive afterward. I would suggest the amoeba workflow https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e780000d-c784-4945-8e42-35218a3ecf10/ or just break the notes up in whatever way makes sense. For my studies I'm kind of doing it by topics and subtopics. The idea is to name things in a way that will let your later self find things reasonably easily. If you still want to keep track of dates, you could link to separate daily journal entries. Plus don't worry about screwing it up, dendron is designed to let you change the organization fairly easily afterwards. For complicated reorganizations, I sometimes have to look up regular expressions, but for simple ones (renaming, splitting or combining notes, or "moving things around between folders" kind of stuff) it's very easy!

    thanks to both rzlnx88 and tanamr! the amoeba workflow seems like a good start to get used to the inner workings of dendron. ill try to pick up mermaid diagrams and look at vscode anki integration (not working well at the moment) as i go along hoping for dendron to be the "end all" of productivity apps 👍

    i'm having an issue where i only want to show select hierarchies in the dendron published site, but if i exclude "root" then i lose my homepage.
