To some extent, centering is in the eye of the beholder.


Marimo looks and feels great!

Have you considered adding support for mermaid.js in the markdown? I tried including some mermaid.js in a `mo.md` invocation, but it didn't render the diagram :-)

https://mermaid.js.org/


We’ve been thinking about it (but had no requests for it yet). I will look into adding it this week. If you would want to make the contribution, feel free to jump/chat in the discord.


plus ça change...


I use text files. One text file per day, named `yyyy-MM-dd.yml`.

YAML! Shudder! But it's the best way I found to enter Markdown with some metadata at the top.

Each day file has multiple Yaml documents, with ids like `yyyy-MM-dd/number`. I use [ ] for todos and turn them into [x] when they are done. This way, searching/grepping for `[ ]` gives me a list of stuff not done yet. I sometimes have a list of things to do in my day. I move the `[ ]`s to the next day at the end of the current day (or start of the next).

I use Visual Studio Code snippets to enter the metadata.

Example:

    ---
    id: 2023-10-13/1
    links:
    tags:
    project:
    text: |
        This text field is **Markdown**, not **YAML**.

        - first note
            - [ ] todo 1
        - second note
      
The `links` item points to other notes by id (it's an array).

The idea of having ids with daily counters is from https://www.soenkeahrens.de/en/takesmartnotes.

[edits: formatting the yaml, mention 'how to take smart notes' book, mention that the `text` is Markdown]


IMO the end product looking "average" is quite different from the prototype looking "average", and Noya looks great for prototypes/MVPs.

Put differently, Noya feels like an exploration tool. When exploring, tents are fine. They do not provide a lot of comfort, but replacing them with houses while still exploring might not be optimal :-) Personally I don't mind average tents, as long as they don't leak.

EDIT: Hmmm, maybe Noya is actually between a tent (Balsamiq) and a house (Figma) - something like an RV? :-D
