Show HN: Study, research and learn with thinking notebook – MindForger 1.50.0
- g82918 7y agoThe idea looks interesting, but I don't feel like the examples show a strong enough improvement over just using multiple windows and some pdfs and a notebook.
- zenlot 7y agoLooks very promising. What would be the advantages if switching from org mode?
- selfishgene 7y agoNothing stands out.
- anotheryou 7y agoI bet org mode has a more developed eco system but I could think of these advantages: - possibly performant "single file" workflow - markdown - no need to learn emacs
- zuno 7y agoThank you, dvorka! I recall having come across your website, and MindForger a few weeks ago when I was looking for lite Markdown editors. Thank you for posting. I am going to try it soon.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoThat screenshot looks like it was designed by me, except I would have used a different color scheme, or given you a color scheme switcher dropdown somewhere. This is unfortunately not a compliment. I suppose it's great, but something designed by me will always be borderline unusable.
- gregwebs 7y agoIs it possible to sync notes to mobile and quickly make small changes? Simple Note is the best at this. Currently I am using inkdrop which is a little slower to load due to the web view refresh of react native.
- tkainrad 7y agoThis looks very interesting. Somehow didn't know about Mindforger, even though I read a lot about this subject. Recently published a blog post about my own knowledge management practices as a software engineer: https://tkainrad.dev/posts/managing-my-personal-knowledge-base/ https://tkainrad.dev/posts/managing-my-personal-knowledge-ba...
- chucky 7y agoThis looks a lot like something I have been imagining in my head (and tinkering with building on and off for a while). Thank you, I will for sure try this. One thing that stands out to me though is the lack of mobile support. I want my note-taking app to also handle my shopping lists, and then I need to be able to access them while in the grocery store on my mobile. Yes, having my grocery shopping list in a note-taking app is overkill - it's just that I want all my lists and notes in one place.
- infamia 7y agoI've only looked at the tutorials, but it looks like you can push your .md file to a remote git repo to read/edit a shopping list or to collaborate with others on documents.
- bobbydreamer 7y agoJust to add-on, note taking app to track expenditure as well, certain notes can be shared and updated by other people.
- VvR-Ox 7y agoThe new release looks awesome and I will give it a try. Thank you for the great work! I am still missing one thing: A live markdown editor (real time preview) like in Mark Text[0] and Typora[1]. Of course MindForger contains much more really useful features to connect thoughts and stay organized but somehow I prefer the writing experience with real time preview (it is also less intimidating for users who don't know markdown which is very likely if they don't work in IT). I don't say this has to be the de facto default but I would appreciate a "live-mode" you can toggle.

- 9214 7y agoNice to see an open-source alternative to ConnectedText [1], though, it looks pretty unstable for 1.50.0 release (constantly crashes on switching views, graph navigator is lagging even with 3 nodes, no control over the window's layout and sizing).

- slightwinder 7y agoLooks interessting and horrible. UI and UX seems to need much more love till it becomes friendly. There is no navigation-history?
