The Peter Pan of Nerdery™Dec 29

Has anyone used #VSCode with the #Dendron plugin to do knowledge management, perhaps as a substitute for #Obsidian? Thinking ahead as to what I might use should my request to install Obs on my work MacBook be denied. Apparently it's pretty good.

I tried using VS Code instead of Obsidian for taking notes, and it's surprisingly decent

It doesn't quite suit me, but you might really like it.

Foam und Dendron: Freie Alternativen zu Obsidian

Da Obsidian für mich keine echte Alternative ist, weil ich der Überzeugung bin, daß mensch sowohl einen Zettelkasten wie auch einen digitalen Garten mit freier Software betreiben sollte, bin ich froh, mit Foam wie auch mit Dendron auf zwei freie Obsidian-Alternativen gefunden zu haben. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2024050802_foam_dendron/ #Foam #Dendron #Zettelkasten #DigitalGarden

@balterwenjamin42 @voitech It looks very uninformed to me, because basically every other Markdown linked note plattform - #Logseq, #Foam, #Dendron, #SilverBulletMD, #Joplin, #Zettlr - they *all* use the WikiLink standard or at the least support it. It‘s omnipresent in the open-source ecosystem.

@RampantCollide there are a bunch of interesting note taking / #PersonalKnowledgeManagement tools with various combinations of open source, local-first, and/or Markdown based, features. The combination I almost settled on was #Dendron on the desktop with #Noteless on mobile and #Syncthing to keep them in sync. Eventually I went back to using #FreePlane for to-do and the afformentioned system for temporary notes.

There are lots of interesting tools in this space.

Editors can also serve as a collection of notes. Various software similar to Zettlr are mentioned in this HN thread. I personally use Vimwiki plugin for Vim.

@nekodojo @EmbraceBecoming @pluralistic there are many #Obsidian clones or Personal Knowledge Management or note taking tools out there such as #LogSeq, #Dendron, #Joplin, #FOAM, Noteless, and others.

There are so many, it can be difficult to choose one. They have different philosophies, levels of openness, methods of storage, business models, platform support, etc...

From what I can tell Obsidian is one of the most polished and feature rich.

Been on a hunt for the perfect self-hosted note/knowledge management app to organize my whirlpool of ideas. 🧠 Tried #Dendron but static page generation wasn’t for me. Trillium and others seemed promising but they all push sync plugins like Obsidian does. Looking for a fully open-source, server-first solution that’s Docker-compatible. Any recommendations? #SecondBrain #SelfHosted

@thegpfury @molly0xfff I used OneNote extensively at a previous job, and it does solid work. However, #Obsidian has far better templating, is highly extensible, and uses a file format that you could read in Notepad if everything else died. I'm currently shifting to #Dendron, but not due to any particular lack of ability in Obsidian, and I do find myself missing Obsidian's dataview plugin.

@strobelstefan @panigrc @johanbove #Foamed was, indeed, one of the many #PersonalKnowledgeManagement tools I looked at. It has been a while, so I forget why I chose #Dendron instead, but I vaguely remember that it might have had to do with the relative maturity of these two projects rather than the feature sets.

There are a surprisingly large set of very similar tools out there, some with very little to differentiate them from others.
