General Updates

Updated Release Schedule

We're changing our release schedule starting October. Instead of weekly, we will release every two weeks. An early preview of changes will be available to supporters on a weekly basis.

Dendron has been on a weekly release cycle since our inception and we've shipped hundreds of features within the last two years under this model. This has allowed us to iterate quickly based on community feedback but it also came with some downsides - many of you have told us that it was becoming hard to keep up with all the changes, it made it hard to work on bigger issues, and sometimes, our releases would break things.

Dendron is now approaching 100k installs and has become an essential part of the daily workflow of thousands of developers. We want to ensure that you can always rely on Dendron to be available when you need it and at the same time, do some of the groundwork to address larger issues that many of you have been asking for for years.

Some projects we're working on: real-time performance on all operations (<100ms), a sqlite based backend, mobile support, and a managed publishing service.

A new blog post has sprouted

Many of you have asked us for more examples of how to take notes in Dendron.

Our latest blog post goes over our recommended workflow for building a personal knowledge base of any size.

• 💡 rlh1994#9754 shared his learning that not only you can embed wildcard notes using ![my.notes.starts.with.*] but this also supports heading references ![my.notes.starts.with.*#Section2].
