I completely agree with all your philosophies, but you don’t eat your dogfood & IMHO break your own tenets. … however … a lack of this feature built in simply is a non-starter for me. Your app looks beautiful - and I signed up immediately after watching your youtube video Most likely the difficult part will be testing the rollback (history) and note sync scenarios, ie: in the case of sync conflicts, but I expect that’s solvable, at a minimum, by just recreating the index note. Probably that’s all that’s needed, but I’ll take a look at Roam and Obsidian at some point and also see what’s involved in creating a plugin. Then, if ‘linkback’ plugin selected, for all open notes put a list of Parent links at the top of the note. this would presumably also have to happen on all synchronizations, and note timeline rollbacks.b) then for all Child links, create Child list if not exists, and add the Parent link.then whenever a note is edited, then the managed note is updated, ie:.so, assuming using a managed note as the plugin persistence, then basically, at initial startup all notes would need to be parsed once, looking for Inkdrop notes to initialize the structure.Looks like PouchDB to me, but I could be wrong). (Note I haven’t looked into what persistence hooks you provide for plugins, but at a minimum you have whatever you are using for the actual notes.my thinking is that this could be implemented with one managed note which had a list of all “Child” notes and for each Child note a list of parents.Re Roam and Obsidian, I haven’t looked at those in ages. Thanks, btw, I share iamben’s enthusiam for Inkdrop, I too love your product! You have to search with a URI with search API. b) ability to know which other documents have a link to this document. The internal link URIs always start from inkdrop://note. The people in that topic would be happy if you made it! a) ability to know that a link is internal to Inkdrop That being said, you can implement it as a plugin. So, strongly connected links/back-links are not supported. The concept of link in Markdown is from hyperlink that can be broken. Markdown is a simple format to write roughly structured and mark-upped text. It is basically a Markdown note-taking app. I mean, Inkdrop is, to be honest, not focused on strictly interconnecting notes. The backlinks/tagging makes it kind of incredible for interconnected notes, especially where you may not see the connection initially. I’m really interested / impressed with where Roam and Obsidian have gone with note taking, in particular the backlinks function and the ‘daily note’. In particular, the fact you’re one of the only encrypted, cross platform note taking applications is amazing. Love inkdrop - have been a customer for a while now and really appreciate all the effort you put. If this feature is not likely to be on the roadmap, and there is significant community interest, I’d be willing to make a plugin with this functionality (provided that’s doable in a plugin).

This could be a warning that this note is linked to by the following notes.ĭ) ability for a note to list the internal notes that it links to (forward links) for example at the top of the Child note there could be a list of the Parent links which link to this document.Ĭ) ability to be notified prior to deleted a linked note (Child).currently I do this manually by prepending “Ink:” to the child link,ī) ability to know which other documents have a link to this document.Therefore I propose the following features (or Plugin):Ī) ability to know that a link is internal to Inkdrop The Child link in the Parent note now points to nothing. With no warning that Child has been deleted (and no warning before deleting Child). There is no way for Child note to know that it’s being referenced by Parent note.ĭeleting Child leaves the link in the Parent to the now deleted Child, There is no way of knowing in review mode that the link is internal, ie to another note in Inkdrop, Which are linked (“Copy Note Link”) such that the Child link is pasted into the Parent note. Hi, wondering about the following feature or plugin:Ībility to track relative links between Inkdrop documents.
