Hi Rob, I love the concept. I've played around with it for about 20 minutes now.
I use obsidian for almost all my notes and documentation because I like keeping everything as close to plaintext as possible.
I also currently use Omniplan for timelines and Gantt charts, so that is what I would be comparing Markwhen to, in terms of functionality. Omniplan is a very mature app and I recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet. There's a lot of ideas in there that you could import to Markwhen.
Thoughts:
- The travel itinerary planning aspect is interesting. I've never found an itinerary planner I liked, and many of them cost a substantial amount. I'd like to see more about this from markwhen.
- The syntax is somewhat confusing on first reading. I am used to using `###` to mark out headings and paragraphs and this conflicts with standard markdown in that sense. though I havent used Markwhen enough yet to climb over the learning curve.
Two biggest feature requests from me:
- release an Obsidian plugin for Markwhen so I can have Markwhen timelines inside my exisiting Obsidian notes. I'd be happy to pay a one off licence for this even though it would be locally run.
- Find a way to do automatic dependency levelling so that when one task is dependent on another, and I increase the time taken for the first task, then the dependent one is automatically moved forward appropriately.
- Feuilles_Mortes 3y agoSeconding the request for an Obsidian plugin. I would also gladly pay for a one-off license.
- StoneTable 3y agoThirded. As a writer, I'm currently using Aeon Timeline (https://timeline.app/ https://timeline.app/) to track fictional timelines. It does a nice job of handling and displaying the data but it's fairly complex and not Markdown. An Obsidian plugin would be super useful in getting my workflow 100% Markdown.
- npunt 3y agoFourth for an Obsidian plugin, its the perfect environment to get a lot of people to be able to try it out
- seized 3y agoAlso agree, Obsidian plugin would be amazing!
