Dendron

via Hacker-News-RSS

Dendron is a local-first, markdown based, hierarchical note-taking application built on top of VSCode and friends.

 I'm not interested in this because I'm not interested in using anything associated with Microsoft. But obviously, Edward and Félix are very interested in making something like Dendron.

Currently trying to offer an minibuffer/command palette equivalent in leoInteg, so this might have good examples to follow, thanks again!

Thanks Bob,

Seems pretty interesting and with good ideas.

I'm neither interested in MS stuff since long time ago (I stopped using Windows in 1999 and never looked back). Despite of my practical and philosophical distance with MS, I can see that VS Code is generating a lot of attention and seems to have a good architecture. Many of the things some of us have proposed for Leo (using services for collaboration instead/besides files, an improved HTML rendering/integration, easy plugin installation) are now on the radar because of the exploration Felix and Edward are doing. If you are interested in testing a "de-microsoftied" version of VS Code, you could test VS Codium[1]. That would be my route for such explorations (in the same way as Chromium is my way to a de-googlized Chrome).

Thanks for the link. Projects such as this are a big reason why I am excited about vs code.

Offray,

Thanks for the link.  But I think VS Codiulm does not decrease my concern that Microsoft retains enough control of VSCode, that at any time it can decide to "monetize" it more making it impractical for my use or Microsoft could decide that because it has not "monetized" VSCode sufficiently, it is no longer interested in it and kill the project, again making it impractical for my use.  Compiling a project is very far from viable independent  support for a project.

Bob,

I have not even installed VS Codium, but if at any time I would need to test any VS Code technology I would go in the Codium route, as I do with Chrome/Chromiun shielding myself a little more from my Google concerns. Any of those companies would stop any project with total disregard of the communities behind, as they have shown previously time and again.

But technology commons are not yet self sufficient in most case, so some compromise is done some times relying on Big Corp Inc and their hidden agenda to provide such tech commons. The sustainability of the tech commons is mostly a theme that is not talked about in most tech communities as it starts to touch the forbidden and related economical and political fields.

In my case I'm pretty happy using mostly on community/ONG developed Free Libre Open Source Software in my day to day and despite trying to minimize my risks about the panoptic economy, that is the rule of these days, by not using Facebook, Google products, WhatApp, Zoom, MS products, at some point, some incursions there could be needed and is good to map the less intrusive alternatives.

Cheers,

Offray
