Pods

Dendron refers to pods as any tool or location that is used to hold information. Tools like Evernote and Roam are pods. Social media services like Twitter and Facebook are pods. Publication destinations like static sites and Medium are pods. Everything is a pod.
Pods let you do the following:
- import your notes from any existing location into Dendron
- export your notes from Dendron to any existing location
- publish your notes from Dendron to any existing location
To access pods, Dendron exposes three commands:
Dendron: Import Pod: imports notesDendron: Export Pod: export notesDendron: Publish Pod: publish notes
NOTE: not all pods will expose all three commands. Each pod implementation can choose to implement any subset of the three commands.
Pod Methods
Import
Importing lets you bulk import notes from a given source and into Dendron. The notes are formatted and converted to Dendron's hierarchal structure.
Export
Exporting lets you bulk export notes from Dendron into another destinations. The notes will be formatted and converted to the native format of the destination.
Publish
Publishing lets you take one note and output it into a different format/destination.
For example, you might want to use our Markdown pod to take a note with note references and publish it as a regular Markdown note to use in a GitHub issue or another tool.
Future uses of the publish method will be taking a note and publishing it to social media (eg. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn), publishing it to Gmail, and publishing to destinations like Medium and dev.to.
Builtin Pods
Builtin pods are managed by Dendron and are available when you install Dendron. They can be used with either the Dendron CLI or from within the Dendron extension to import/export/publish your notes from/to anywhere
