@gaufff I also use Obsidian but I’m keeping an eye on Tangent Notes which will be a good replacement 😉 A few fractures still need to be developer before I can switch completely #tangentnotes

Pondering a Logseq-like approach to page properties. Using #TangentNotes for the test because it stays out of the way when I have weird ideas like this.

three-pane view, with a Python-related blog post from my coolnamehere site; the blog post shows text describing a property "origin" with value "coolnamehere"; both words in the definition are links to workspace pages; left pane describes coolnamehere.com, my personal site from 2001-2013; right pane describes the "origin" property, and shows a concise backlink from the blogpost

Hey wanna see a stupid #Nushell trick?

Making markdown sections and tables for the schema of a SQLite database (which I then paste into #TangentNotes to be published with #Nanoc)

```
(
open markdown.db
| schema
| get tables
| transpose name info
| each { |t| $"#### ($t.name)\n\n($t.info.columns | to md)\n" }
| to text
)
```

EDIT: removed a couple unnecessary steps in my pipe.

Having fun tweaking CSS in #TangentNotes

Application with note describing CSS changes made for visual effects. Text of note:

Hide filename top header if there's a level 1 header.

```css
:where(main):has(article h1) > :where(header) {
display: none;
}
```

Colorize *emphasized text* and **strongly emphasized text** so ADHD brain notices there might be something important there.

```css
:where(main) :is(em, strong) {
color: var(--warningTextColor);
}
```

Diminish my big-ass frontmatter so it's out of the way until editing time.

```css
:where(div.frontMatter):not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) {
max-height: 5em;
overflow-y: scroll;
background-color: var(--accentDeemphasizedBackgroundColor);
opacity: 0.6;
}

div.frontMatter:not(:has([data-focus="focused"])) :where(.start) {
display: none;
}
```

Add line numbers to code blocks to see if I can. Not sure if I'll keep it, but it's handy to know!

```css
:where(pre) > :where(code) {
counter-reset: line-number;
}

:where(pre) > :where(code) :where(div.line)::before {
content: counter(line-number);
counter-increment: line-number;
display: inline-block;
left: var(--spaceWidth);
margin-right: calc(var(--spaceWidth) * 2.5);
min-width: 1.5rem;
opacity: .3;
position: sticky;
text-align: right;
}
```

Link preview in #TangentNotes is a pretty nice addition. Works for raw URLs and embed-style links like ![](URL]. Ignores ![text](URL).

Very friendly!

Has anyone ever used or does anyone now use Tangent? Thoughts?

@taylorhadden @tangentnotes Not to sound cheeky, but... a legend? Or a better explanation with an example screenshot in the documentation of Tangent notes?

The alternative could be a different hue of green. Then one might easier associate past trails with well, the past.

I am *really* enjoying #TangentNotes for writing my development diaries right now!

@tangentnotes
tried #tangentnotes today for the first time.

I have to admit, that it's been a while since the last time a software caused a "wow effect". 😉

This is just how I want a note taking app to be.

Thought I'd try the math thing in #TangentNotes and it works really well. You got your editing view with (light) syntax highlighting, and the formula is rendered while editing.

@taylorhadden does nice work!

Right, so.. #TangentNotes is basically #Obsidian except without the plugins and mighty community support? Got it.

Exploring the viability of using #TangentNotes as the spot to write and manage site content. It's viable — it's also a given that I'll massage note files with a script before feeding them to Hugo or other SSG.

Incidentally the "Map View" for tonight's editing session is kind of comical.

Tangent Notes application, sidebar showing pages organized by month and year, with editing view showing a split of two blog posts

A long thin line of illegible text which, if one could zoom far enough in, would be seen as the names of notes edited today

#TangentNotes doesn't do special rendering for tables or definition lists, but as long as it doesn't argue with me about what I type? I can set font to something monospace and not care.

I was a little worried that dumping 800 markdown files in would do bad things to the #TangentNotes timeline view, but it's good about only showing the files I actually looked at.

@Forrest Two reflections from my own trials:

Honestly, I miss taps or split screens more than the right sidebar. The sidebar easily feels like something that can get me stuck in not being able to "tangentize".

Maybe you‘d need a right sidebar that also supports "tangential tabs" also #TangentNotes?

Other thought - I‘ve found what‘s most "cool" about Heptabase is the ability to make and "tear apart" cards on the whiteboard as information comes in from research and documents.
