I'm thinking of going primitive, with discursion into zettelkasten
Dormouse:
Which is a shame, as I would agree that such a feature would be good for acceptance of either MarkDown or AsciiDoc as somewhat of a replacement of WordPad in Windows. Perhaps even Word itself.-Shades (May 27, 2020, 12:44 AM)

I think that's where the market will be and developers will always chase the market in the end. The major requirement is that there has to be a reasonably simple way of printing or publishing. The world hasn't gone completely digital. I still have clients who require hard copy and I suspect that many recent converts have been mostly motivated to avoid the snail and expect to print internally.
Dormouse:
So I am still struggling with one-note one-thought. Specifically, what i think is one note ends up being a whole bunch of thoughts. -superboyac (November 27, 2019, 02:03 PM)

I'd recommend reading this set of links from Panzer. I've not read all of them yet, but will. I've never read anyone whose thinking (so far) aligns so well with my own. I'm hopeful I'll find a useful addition to my own practice and, if not, it will be a nice ego boost.
Like me, he seems to be respectful of the way he believes Luhmann worked but sceptical of the the methods of his modern acolytes.
To paraphrase something I think you intimated earlier, the thinking is the actual goal, not the physical note.
I'll also point out that these are actual examples of notes.
Zettelkasten-like system used by Andy Matuschak:

ED: I've now read his note on why books don't work. I sort of agree with much of it, but his understanding of the underlying science is over simple and he's looking out of his car to where he's going rather than taking time to see all the ideas on both sides.
So no longer completely aligned.

Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files:

This looks very interesting. I'll give it a go. When I can find time on a PC, since it doesn't seem to have an Android app.
Dormouse:
@wraith808, thanks. Are you using hackmd? Looks nice.

Yes, quite a bit. So much so that I pay for it. I'm writing my book in it (it has a book type layout), and I thought reading this thread the autolinking feature would be nice for this system.

I'll try this one out too, again within the limits of my PC time. I'll look at Texts too.

Cool! Do you have a view on the difference between HackMD and CodiMD? AFAICT they started out as the same project, but CodiMD is a FOSS fork. Confusingly HackMD github seem to still have a (competing) CodiMD repo.
