Dendron v100 - Open source note taking for developers

I like dendron. I funded for about 7 months on the 10 dollar contribution plan because i like their mission. Happy to see them do well.

Nice work! Congrats!

I've been using Dendron for about a year now and absolutely love it. It's very versatile and customizable so it's not only suited for programming but also for e.g. personal notes, study notes and as a journal. Being an extension for VSCode gives access to the huge number of other extensions. Being able to use git is really useful too.

I've been using Dendron since February and it's changed the way I take notes for the better. Dare I say, note taking is now fun! When I started using it, I was a software tester so I was able to organize my test data, users, steps and link them with the user stories. What made it a game changer for me was being able to paste screenshots directly into the notes, I was blown away by this. Now I'm a Scrum Master and I'm taking more notes than ever before and I'm taking advantage of the "@user" linking which has been incredibly useful as I can type someone's name and find out what meetings they were in. Just like with any note taking system, it takes discipline to stay organized and Dendron is no different, however getting organized is incredibly easy because files and hierarchies can be renamed on the fly and all of the links and backlinks will still work. One other great thing is, you can just create a quick note a "Scratch Note" start typing and then later on, rename it with ease. Templates and schemas are really incredible and with the new "Apply Template" command, that will make things even easier. In addition to the product, the Founder (Kevin), team and the community have been really great. There's still a lot for me to discover with this tool and I'm really excited to see where this project goes as I truly believe it has a bright future! Congrats Kevin and team for hitting this milestone!!! :)

Even if you are not a note-taking-note-organizing-type-of-person, the community in the dendron discord is absolutely wonderful and something worth checking out.

I have used Dendron nearly every week for the past year and a half. It was already compelling when I first discovered it, but it's been amazing thrilling to watch the product get better with every weekly release. Both the core software and the wonderful Dendron discord community have been a core part of my programming and personal organization workflow. The team's unique approach to improving the capture, retrieval, and organization phases of knowledge management via interactions and techniques honed in the world of software engineering (refactoring, transclusion, etc) has the potential to be very transformative, even for folks who are not working in software engineering roles.

I use Dendron to store all the standard operating procedures we have in our project. The workflows range from uploading an image to aws to onboarding a new member. The impressive thing about Dendron is that it is flexible and can be strict as needed. One can start writing notes in free form and can restructure them as they develop. Alternatively, it can be organized using schemas and templates. For personal organization, I use Dendron to keep track of my monthly readings and language course notes. For every article/novel I read, I summarize my takeaways under a reading hierarchy and by the end of the month, I can see my reading progress through a graph. I love the keyboard-focused ux which makes every command a hotkey away.

As a technical writer I'm into texts — and that's how I found Markdown. After more deep research I've became aware of VSCode and Dendron. A problem with large amount of textual data is keeping it structured and Dendron handles it pretty neat: both easy and flexible. If you already have been dealing with notes and other forms of texts — you definitely should (must) try Dendron, and if you haven't — you are going to start doing it with Dendron. P.S. Community is awesome too.

I've been using Dendron for over a year, and it's been the most adaptable and useful note-taking tool I've used so far. It's particularly good if you like to structure things your own way, rather than following someone else's idea of how things should be organised. The publishing features are a huge bonus, and mean I can easily share notes with whoever I want to. The way Dendron integrates with existing tools like VScode and Git means that it fits in very easily with everything else I do, too.

Using Dendron now for almost 1,5 years has improved my note-taking tremendously. There are lots of great tools out there for creating notes but none has helped me so much to find notes again. And that's what you take ones for
