• Notepad Tab

  For me it's the risk of littering in a project repo. So I use Zim wiki instead: https://zim-wiki.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• Show HN: A Python-based static site generator using Jinja templates

  I'll slightly modify your argument; because Pure HTML does suck: Why don't people make static sites with a simple "Markdown-or-Similar to HTML" converter, CSS, and vanilla JS...etc? (This is what I do, btw -- http://zim-wiki.org + a template). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Show HN: A directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software

  You should add Zim [1] to the "Personal Knowledge Management" section :) [1] https://zim-wiki.org. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

  Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out.

• A structured note-taking app for personal use

  > Not really. Obsidian has its shares of problems too, and most of them originate from using Markdown. Aha. Which problems do you mean? > Markdown is a freeform text-format, and works very well for writing text, but it really sucks for data and structured content. Joplin is using md to. And if Joplin does a good job on "data" and "structured content" (whatever you mean by that) by separating that in their DB, it's... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What are your second brain apps like Obsidian?

  Markdownload - (firefox) - I can use to download entire webpages into markdown - https://github.com/deathau/markdownload - sometimes it's just easier to snippet out a thing I want to keep or reference. Source: 6 months ago

• Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?

  Since I generally have no clue what technologies are popular (other than the obvious big name projects) I'll just toss out some interesting links I've recently bookmarked in comments here. - gron (Greppable JSON): https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron - Lean4 links: -- Theorem proving: https://lean-lang.org/theorem_proving_in_lean4/introduction.html -- Natural Number Game:... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
