THIS: In the FAQ section. "Wouldn’t digital be easier? Yes. But I don’t want this to be easy. Writing them down by hand forces me to take my time and to go over everything again (taking notes on a Kindle is too easy and that’s the problem). Also being able to physically arrange stuff is crucial for getting the structure of your book or project right. I can move cards from one category to another. As I shuffle through the cards, I bump into stuff I had forgotten about, etc."
Once again. I am amazed that there is not a way to play with cards like this digitally.

What I'm doing right now is a combination of things. I took the extensions from foam but used the format of obsidian- I write in obsidian or in vs code. Really liking it so far.

1. Go to https://github.com/foambubble/foam-template
2. Click use thiis template
3. Fill out the name of the repo that you want to use for Foam, and make it private or public as you wish
4. Open VS code.
5. Go to the source control tab and click clone
6. Clone it to your local drive wherever you want your Zettel stored
7. Authenticate to GitHub
8. After it is cloned, it will ask you to install recommended extensions. Do that (it will change your theme- booo... but you can change it back)
9. There is no 9. You're there.

I followed this, thanks.
I installed foam just fine, but I can't get all the features to work in VS code. I'm getting workspace errors, the minimap is disappearing even though its one etc, so many GUI issues. It's going to take a while to get this setup.
superboyac:
OK I think I have VS Code running foam pretty well now.
This is an excellent option, I hope it continues.
It has nice side-by-side preview options, which is great. For a smoother experience, I like how Zettlr has the preview sort of built into the main editor....vs two panes of editor+preview. I like both, and I might even lean towards the two pane.
The killer feature is the graph pane, that shows the note links. So now this takes the place of Obsidian in a sense. Or they are competing features.
VS Code is a very nice program.
