So I also have a document that is a overview of the entire lecture. I might print these out to keep a physical copy of my notes. At the same time, I have atomicized flashcards of topics, that I can transclude in a lecture note. For example, when I get to a lecture on poisons, I'll include that flashcard on oxidative phosphorylation as a visual reminder of what I learned in today's lecture. Dendron would give me backlink too, and I would be able to see the link that some poisons work by inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation It works just like in Roam and Tiddlywiki. But with Dendron, I also get: a. Local access to all my notes. Plus, my notes are all in Markdown format, which means I can batch edit, rename, do whatever I need to them using VSCode and regex,

sed

,

touch

, etc. I hate having to mindlessly manually edit things that could be done with code, and I don’t have the time or knowledge to write scripts to bulk edit HTML or database data, but well documented regex scripts are accessible to a non-technical user like me. I can avoid Roam holding my entire knowledgebase for ransom unless I pay them monthly. That's extortion, not SAAS. Plus Roam doesnt have a mobile client. With Dendron, I have my vault synced to Dropbox and use Epsilon Notes as a mobile client to view them. I can also open and refactor my headings with XMind. Markdown format means being able to choose the best "frontend clients" for my "backend database" of markdown notes.
