Offer a more complex plug-in UI with embedded HTML files
Problem: app.prompt() only works for single-line text input. Using the prompt to create long-form text doesn't work well because the app 'freezes' while the prompt is displayed, so you can't use your notes to assemble the text. From my perspective as the app's developer, writing a tool for you to create a custom user… -

A One Paragraph Summary of Ahrens' How to Take Smart notes from 1775/76
In this single paragraph quote from his own notebook, Lichtenberg, using the model of Italian bookkeepers of the 18th century, broadly outlines almost all of the note taking technique suggested by Sönke Ahrens in How to Take Smart Notes. While he doesn't use the same terms, he encourages writing down and keeping fleeting… -
Re: Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week. August 29, 2023
They might have been, prior to the Internet. Standards have declined. Here are the direct quotes from (Ahrens 2017). The last quote is the fully unqualified normative commitment to a life in which nothing counts other than writing. Ahrens says you should do "... everything as if nothing counts other than writing." What… -
Re: Share with us what is happening in your ZK this week. August 29, 2023
Clearly, I've been wrong this whole time. I was under the impression that #4 and #6 were the keys to enlightenment. I'll have to reorder my thinking. Thanks for the tip. I had missed Sonke Ahrens's advice to make writing the most important thing in life. Thanks for the tip. Two tips in one post! Fantastic. Looks like I… -
Re: Script to print all tags from .txt files (run from archive directory)
I've been trying this: and it's pulling in some numbers with preceding spaces I wasn't expecting, e.g. (snip) Any ideas why this might be happening? I don't think I even have 513 notes! -
Re: Coloured text
I'm unsure this is related, but I'm fighting highlight color behavior. I have a section in my theme. "highlight": { "color": "#2C2D2F", "backgroundColor": "#587083", "unfocusedBackgroundColor": "#4292D2" } This works great, EXCEPT the first incidence of a highlighted capture is always a default color, and I cannot see a… -
Re: The Zettelkasten Method: nonlinear Zettel note format
@GeoEng51 Sorry, I butchered this wonderful illustration. Please note the illustration doesn't fit exactly (books would not overlap, entry notes would be outside the shaded areas) but hopefully, this will help clarify and answer your question. The attached picture is a typical illustration of a Zettelkasten. [1] The… -
Re: Do you have a systematic way of cleaning up your ZK?
Thanks for asking this. I have a similar issue in that some of my notes are very rough and in some cases what started as index/hub notes became dumping grounds out of expedience. For #1, #3 and #4 I handle those when I encounter the note that needs to be updated. I started using a #refactor tag to denote those notes that… -
Re: [Theme] PrettyFunctional (Regular)
@Basil I have good news, after all this time
The theme syntax will be supporting new settings, like font overrides without size declarations (they'll by default be "relativeSize": "100%" of the user's font choice). That also means you can drop absolute size declarations: "styles": { "base": { "color": "#414141", "font":…
