TL;DR: When inserting a link (especially of the image) one can add pipe followed by size. This size is used for displaying embedded image inside the note.

For example, I have a markdown and excalidraw mixed note named Dashboard

It references itself (for the excalidraw image on the back of the note) like ![[Dashboard]] ¹

This results into an image that just shows small preview that is not useful, especially if image is wide (and/or tall).

I’m not sure what the main feature of this app.

Memos can be anything

Somewhere it says “Twitter like”, and it does have different visibility settings. Default being “Only visible to you”, but it can be changed.

It also has user management, so it may be useful for say family with 3-5 users, may be smaller start up 🤷‍♂

I think the best part is ability to self-host. Maybe on Rpi, or in house server (If considering for family)

I needed this, because Dendron uses 13-digit epoch time, for created and updated timestamps. While it is not a problem when notes are created from within VSCode (as is expected - since Dendron is a VSCode plugin) - I don’t use VSCode much.

While Dendron has command line tools to create new notes, and notes are markdown only the timestamps are problem.

Hence, the need to create 13-digit epoch time.

date "+%s" can be used to get the epoch time, it only returns 10 digits. Since I don’t care about millisecond precision in my time stamps, I can always add 3 extra 0s at the end, yet it is a hassel.

I have been using Dendron for some time now as a PKM tool. I started when it was using 11ty to generate site out of the notes.

It would create the site in docs folder, using Dendron: Site Build in VSCode I had mapped the docs folder to a git repo.

I would push ready-made site to git, and netlify deploy was a no-op

Then recently they switched to next.js and publishing changed a lot. (Personally I liked the old look and feel, but that is besides the point)

Almost a decade ago, I came across Workflowy.

It is a simple outliner program. Think of a simple white paper of unlimited length, and digital.

That is all it was. No other frills.

One of its shortcomings was no mobile client. One could hack to get it working on mobile, but there was no app. Then I came across Dynalist.

I used it for a long time. I have it installed on my mobile even today.

I came across logseq long ago, of all the places on Dendron’s discord channel. It has other-projects channel just for this purpose.

Logseq was still early back then (compared to Dendron at least).

I tried, but did not like it. Plus Dendron was much better.

Today, I came across Logseq again, when I was perusing my colleague’s twitter feed and noticed that he is using it. So I checked it again. They now have a Desktop app, plugins and decent community.
