Thanks. Ran it.

Thank you. The first ALPHA version should be coming up. I'm running an Ubuntu-based distro (20.04) so it might as well be Linux since I'm using it with good results.Thats great. I have Linux Mint.
Puppeteer programming is logical and I'm confident this is the way forward since basically all the sites & webmasters account for Chrome/Chromium. The only complaint is the ~400MB overall release package size but we'll cope with it.That is pretty large, but totally doable. You had mentioned it being portable. So I am assuming if need be I could run it off of an external USB 3.0 or more.

I worked out that if I have all the assets I refer to in the file, then nothing ever gets lost.-Dormouse (February 21, 2024, 06:03 PM)
Solved by textbundle, except no-one supports it.
I've stopped using Tangent/Obsidian/markdown editors for notes with images. The links are too vulnerable.-Dormouse (February 21, 2024, 05:24 PM)
I think it's probably a wise decision for logseq to move to a database model. I don't think it ever gained much from being files based except a few users from Obsidian. It has problems with speed. My impression is that there has been a trend for users to move away from it, notwithstanding the widespread praise for its PDF handling. Again, you can catch up with complaints etc on its Discord.Yeah discord reading is time consuming

I am really interested in how you achieve using Tangent, logseq and obsidian together and how notezilla is layered ontop of your systemI don't really.-sphere (February 20, 2024, 04:34 PM)
I've never done more than look at logseq. I don't like the appearance much, and I always hit a glitch. Org support is effectively deprecated and they are in the process of moving to be database first. I'm not intending to look again until the shift to database is finalised and stable.-Dormouse (February 21, 2024, 10:03 AM)
don't actually use Obsidian at all now. I found it to be a consistently high maintenance program. They change things, they break workflows. Themes can break things. Plugins and themes are often not maintained. The maintenance and staying up-to-date might not always be a huge issue for all-in users who are programmers and/or students, and that's a fair proportion of its usebase. I'm also not sure how much it can genuinely considered a files program now - there are so many jsons, indexedDBs, etc, with many plugins bringing in their own set.
I use Notezilla as an adjunct support program. For messages to myself and comments. I use it much less with programs that have sophisticated comment features themselves (eg Word). It's very flexible, and it's ability to sync across all the platforms I use (Windows and mobile) is very useful.
I've found that mobile is sometimes very important and sometimes not at all.
In general, I haven't found programs to be equally good on mobile and desktop, web apps usually coming closer than most. I've stopped trying to work with files on mobile and tend to rely on database progs (I think Joplin is a database) and import and export (or copy/paste) when I need.
I think the issue of frontmatter/YAML is important, and incompatibilities remove one of the major advantages of using files rather than a database.
I don't use it at all, so I don't know whether there are any between these programs (I do know that Obsidian recently revised its YAML and garbaged the setups that many users were using. Driven by users' failing to understand or follow YAML definitions and upsetting plugins that relied on standards being followed. Thereby also enforcing plugins to follow a standard approach.
I did use YAML a little in Obsidian's early days, but deleted all of it when YAML was chosen as the preserve of plugins' metadata, and I've never used it ever since.-Dormouse (February 21, 2024, 09:10 AM)
Do you know any free web/cloud solution to monitor a webpage for changes and send you an email notification?-kalos (February 20, 2024, 12:50 PM)
All my notes are written using Tangent. Easy, productive environment, wikilinks and I can use other programs like Obsidian, Typora etc if I need to. I'm adding comments & etc using NoteZilla.
I'm using Word for longform writing - everything in one file. Supplemented by OneNo-Dormouse (November 05, 2022, 08:33 AM)
The issue with database PKM apps is that, in the absence of clear boundaries, they need to be all or nothing. The few file based apps (Obsidian, Tangent, Logseq to an extent) can all work on the same data and have full access to all the installed file utilities, but the database apps have to live entirely on their own features - possibly helped by any integrations they have with other programs - but they need all the notes or else the tags and links are degraded in value.-Dormouse (February 17, 2024, 05:43 PM)
Also learned how useful mindmaps can be sometimes. Which switched me back to Mindomo, which produces a brilliant export into docx (hadn't noticed it before since I wasn't then writing in Word) which even includes comments and notes. Mindmaps/Concept Maps; playing around with ideas and structures; it's just one stage but I automatically do that in Mindomo now. It's also functional for tasks, which I'll add in if they are related and breakdown into a sequence.-Dormouse (November 14, 2023, 06:48 AM)

I found something similar I forgot to say, but not enough for me. PBOL result the winner in compare.-Contro (August 22, 2023, 03:07 PM)
Thanks Target...that sure looks worth following up!-tsaint (September 06, 2023, 10:17 PM)
I got a Google alert about this post. I am a user of this app and yes, it's very handy. No negative experiences that I've had. So yeah, just wanted to say it's worth it and I can recommend it. Ask me any questions if you like and I'll do my best to help.-BarryG (September 17, 2023, 05:13 AM)
Ah, I actually got the user to promise. That's the best solution, anyway! People will surprise you sometimes - just gotta keep hoping for them.Well that does work. I was going to suggest a router/swtich with its power plugged into a light timer set to the times you want-BGM (December 15, 2022, 11:32 AM)
