0.92

Dendron 0.92 has sprouted 🌱

Graph View: We've improved the loading speed of the graph view. You should notice a drastic improvement in load times-up to 100x in larger workspaces 🚀🚀🚀.

Tree View: We've improved the stability of the tree view and fixed an error with Dendron: Rename Note that caused the tree view to fall out of sync.

Self Contained Vaults: You can now move self contained vaults between local and remote locations using the Dendron: Vault Convert command.

Highlights

  • enhance(views): optimize graph view load times - 100x improvement on large workspaces
  • fix(views): multiple stability fixes for tree view
  • enhance(workspace): vault convert now works with self contained vaults

Everything Else

  • enhance(workspace): general speed ups across multipel commands
  • enhance(workspace): doctor command can detect and fix misconfigured self contained vaults
  • fix(pods): exporting as markdown will add .md extension to markdown files
  • fix(workspace): hovering an asset link while holding ctrl no longer opens the asset
  • fix(view): some views don't update for new notes with self contained vaults
  • fix(view): broken preview for links with sub-hierarchy starting with .md
  • fix(workspace): remove stale entries from cache when initializing

Starboard and TIL Highlights

These are highlights from the Dendron Discord #starboard and #today-i-learned channels.

  • ⭐ @codeluggage#5635 shared a link to a gist on how to setup shortcuts for task management: "I've been learning and getting into task management in Dendron lately, and found myself reaching for shortcuts to manage checkboxes. Cobbled together these macros to quickly work with the current line, as well as quickly run through the current file when clearing out old tasks."

Credit to @cameron#9185 for sharing the link for this week's Dendron Reading Series in our #what-are-you-reading channel!

Markdown has seen a lot in its 20 year life. Originally created as a tool for web-writing, it has evolved to become the de facto container for digital content for many authors and organizations. In the opinion of this piece's author, Markdown's usefulness is dwindling in the modern age of block content. As the content on the web has shifted from text-centric HTML pages to richer interactive multi-media experiences, Markdown's role has come under question.

What do you think? Is it so that content has grown past Markdown, or can Markdown grow to meet these modern requirements?

All technology has a history and is a product of human interaction.

Part of the beauty of the modern web is that ideas are shared and repurposed with unparalleled ease. Though originally intended for the single purpose of web-writing, Markdown grew into different flavors and versions, serving different needs and niches. Its usage evolved beyond simply web writing into the lingua franca for all digital content.

In this tweet, Jon Gruber, one of the creators of Markdown, claims that No one syntax would make all happy. Perhaps in this we find why Markdown has been so well loved, because it isn't a single syntax, but rather a material that can be molded and extended to one's satisfaction.

And finally, in some Internet trivia, I was suprised to find that Aaron Swartz was one of the creators of Markdown. The web is a smaller place than you'd think!
