While 40hz may not have been "away" for that long, it does feel that way sometimes.

Well, it certainly felt that way for me. (How goes it Shades?)

In our excitement at reunion, let us not forgot Codex. Here are some sample vids to whet your appetite.

In our excitement at reunion, let us not forgot Codex.

I watched a few of the videos. It all seems a bit stream of consciousness from what I’ve seen so far. Is there a design document for it that's available to read? Maybe I haven’t watched the right video - or enough of them yet. But I’m having a little trouble getting my head around the central paradigm and design of the thing.

That was my experience when I followed this thread before.

OK quick update from my end....

I wanted to focus on using markdown and these systems to create websites easily (automatically by just syncing files)
first suggestion was Pico CMS...i tried it, it's good...I'm sticking with this one, it seems to check all the boxes.

the other one, Neuron, i also tried this, but it's only "automatic" if you use github.  Otherwise, dropping the files in and out simply, doesn't work like pico.  you have to keep regenerating the site. This is a bummer, as the software is quite simple and nice.  Anyway, pico still is fine.

So now I'll be spending hours trying to figure out the theming system, which is a lot more complex than i thought...

Pico theming is pretty complicated.  I'm currently using Skull on my site, and really like it.  I tried pure for a while, and it's not bad, but skull was more to my liking.  Ohters I tried, were clutter, dimension, notepaper (example), and story (example).

I was seriously thinking that NotePaper was going to be it- I had it up and running on a different site.  But I found the concepts of the theme constrained how I published, and didn't really like it.  But you're right, because of the use of twig, it's a bit more complicated that it seems, even if a lot more powerful because of it.  Once you get it down, it's pretty easy, though.

Now I'm looking at Grav.  I heard it's like Pico but better in some ways.

Ideally, I want Neuron but with ability to just sync md files like pico.  You can do it, but i think only with github. 
If that guy would release his website code, Andy Matsuchashik, then that would be cool too.
Just trying to get an auto-published markdown site, with a dark theme, single column.  that's all.

Well done! Looks as if you've made a lot of progress with this stuff.

I don't have any interest in publishing my notes, so far at least. Obsidian has just brought out its paid for Publish service (still in its very early stages), so interesting to see these posts arrive at the same time.

I think from this quote, dumped Pico.  His ideal seemed to have been Neuron, and he got it to work.

Do you sync the MD files to neuron or Github?  And does the github repo have to be public?

Aha!  Everything is working brilliantly, except for this one decision.  And this goes to the heart of our discussion here, LOLLLL!

See this link:
https://neuron.zettel.page/id.html

this part:

Use title IDs when you want truly future-proof link IDs that work on any text editor. However, note that this comes at the cost that you are willing to rename them (manually or using a script) across your Zettelkasten if the title ID of any of your notes changes.

Here, I have to make a choice.  Do I use filenames with ID (as in, the datenumber field 202008081112.md), OR do I use the title yaml field in the actual note itself?  Many pages back, I knew this would be a critical decision loll, that's why I'm laughing....because no matter how different these software are, they all have to make this fundamental choice here .

THis guy has left it up to the user, which is nice.  But, he is saying that it does come with consequences.

If I use the ID number, this is easier in that I never have to rename the html files which are only generated once (they don't update if you change the filename of your md or your yaml header). 

If I use a descriptive title that I can freely modify, then the problem there is I have to update the html files with some script or manually (PITA). 

If you don't want the headache of renaming html files constantly....use the ID.md filenames
If you want a descriptive html filename...use a descriptive md file.


I said earlier it would be great if someone wrote a nifty tool that can do these renaming functions.  I think it would get used a lot.

If you don't want the headache of renaming html files constantly....use the ID.md filenames
If you want a descriptive html filename...use a descriptive md file.

I use PhraseExpress shortcuts to produce the zet style date/time UIDs, one in a ###### header. I can then add any title text I want either before or after  the ID. Any text expander should do this.

So, I can have descriptive titles and UIDs in the same title.

20201004 134652 Plasterboards
Or
Plasterboards 20201004 134652
Or
###### 20201004 134652 Plasterboards
Or
###### Plasterboards 20201004 134652

The first two being .md notes
The second two being headings in other notes, and so easily linked in Obsidian.

Obviously I don't bother if I'm not looking for a UID.
Which goes first depends on whether I expect to primarily search/link by date or title - only affects where they come in the list of options.
Also use it when I want to time stamp an entry.

For neuron, this would work, but if you change the title of the note (like the title INSIDE the note or the title meta) then the html filename won't be updated.  So the original html filename stays the same.

This might be the best middle ground.  Who cares if the title changes a little and the filename doesn't?  I don't.
So #### descriptive.md might be the best solution.

PhraseExpress can rename the file based on a tag inside the file??
