| Blahah wrote:
| PKM is the standard term for a whole diverse field of tools and

| gorgabal wrote:
| Parent comment didn't say anything about this extension. He

| Which was a response to me talking about this specific

| This VS code extension is kind of flying under the radar and

| Is it possible to attach files to notes?
| bachmeier wrote:
| Since it intended to work with local markdown files, you just

| Communicating anything via mind maps is difficult, and they

| +1 for LogSeq! Been using it for awhile now and love it!

| Take a look at Joplin, it had a WYIWYG editor and normal

| It's like an open source Evernote.

| Looks interesting. Will give it a try :)

|
| Well, that's going to save me a chunk of time.

| Yeah, I gave up on Dendron due to performance issues.
