- Sn0wCoder 1y agoThank you! The timing of this comment is perfect
- newlisp 1y agoIt's also a good alternative to Obisdian if you don't need smartphone support.
- jodrellblank 1y agohttps://dendron.so/ https://dendron.so/ is more or less Obsidian in VSCode, and free and open source.
- ozim 1y agoBut Dendron is a zombie project. I don’t mind project being done and in maintenance mode. But I am not investing my time into starting using it. Getting started page has screenshots broken on AWS.
- alyandon 1y agoI took the plunge and don't regret it. Despite the condition of the web site the extension is very useful and relatively free of any annoying bugs. At some point in time, I'd like to take the time to invest building a custom version of the extension to bump dependencies to access more modern support for plantuml/mermaid diagrams.
- chatmasta 1y agoObsidian supports this. (Or at least, it supports pasting an image from clapboard so I’m assuming drag and drop works too.)
- pritambaral 1y agoInteresting. I belong to the class of people who believe in customising their tools as they please. So I'd have written an Emacs package to do this. But then again, this is Emacs, so someone's probably already done it. Oh, here it is: https://github.com/mooreryan/markdown-dnd-images https://github.com/mooreryan/markdown-dnd-images
