Foam - Personal knowledge management and sharing on VSCode & GitHub

@mckittytweets I'm going to be using it for all my personal note-taking and writing for years to come, so it'll definitely be maintained. If it gets big, sky's the limit of what we can do to collectively improve each others' workflows!

@rileytomasek Thanks! The data is stored as markdown files on your own disk, and (if you choose) synced to a GitHub repo (or anywhere else you'd like, but currently the static site generation pipeline presumes GitHub). Files are just markdown, so they are easily consumable by other tools, and if not -- there are AST parsers for Markdown so writing your own conversion is pretty easy The ownership of your own data is encoded in Foam's principles: https://foambubble.github.io/foa...

@jevon Yes! My ideas are stubbed out in Foam's Recipes, but I just haven't had time to write them up yet: https://foambubble.github.io/foa... - For realtime collaboration: VS Code Live Share https://visualstudio.microsoft.c... (I already tried this, and the experience is magical!) - For long-term team collaboration: Give team access to GitHub workspace repo, push/pull. Foam can provide better tools for transparent sync via VS Code plugins - Accepting contributions from outside the team: GitHub PRs. There's already a VS Code plugin for GitHub, but I haven't tried it for Foam yet. This is a perfect example why I'm so excited about Foam! It's barely a week old, and it can already do more than most other note taking / writing tools thanks to the rich and powerful ecosystem. As features become better understood via user prototyping, they can first be added to documentation for others to take advantage of them, and once canonical use cases and workflows emerge, make them obvious and user friendly by building them into Foam.

@mrcordeiro Thanks so much! I've just merged the PR 👍

@illiilliilili If you use GitHub Pages to publish your workspace, you can already associate a custom domain with your repository -- it's built right into GitHub! If you want alternative hosting, you can do that too, but for the time being it'll be a DIY exercise to generate a website from your .md files. I'll be looking into baking better support for that down the road.

@wilsonbright Thank you very much!
