      I did a little research. As far as I can see, it could not handle PDF files. just images. Am I right or did I miss something?

        @Captain-Kirk nope it can manage pdf files too. Attach to notes it can't render them but you can version control open and download pdfs.

            @girish I think this app is ready to roll for some more testing if you want to take the package for pushing to the store?

                        @seeker yes, I use it almost daily for capturing my notes during configuration changes / development in different “code languages” to create my own wiki with “how did I do that?” Also lists of frequently used commands etc.

                            @ruihildt @imc67 Thanks. I do wish it had an android app. I guess I could copy to the Trillium using the web login. I am also considering joplin, which seems more rubust. Did either of you look at that?

                              @seeker Joplin is the best of the FOSS option IMHO.

                              Personally, I'm all-in on Ulysses but that's Mac & iOS only, and closed-source and paid if that's an issue.

                              Otherwise, iA Writer is the best of the cross-platform, offline apps, bunch that I know of.

                              My main requirement is the .mk files retain their file names and folder structures in a way I can edit with multiple apps as needed, which Joplin doesn't do.

                              Atom / VS Code and a Git app like Working Copy is another way.

                                @marcusquinn I see. I can imagine how keeping the file names and folder structure intact would allow you to use any program to manipulate the files.

                                  @seeker
                                  When I started using notes, I wanted to have them as text files in order to have them in a simple format and find the editor that would feel the most natural for my workflow.

                                  I have used Joplin, Typora, Zettlr, FocusWriter. And I settled on Joplin for some time. I think I moved out because of sync issues and also because the interface was a bit too terse for my liking.

                                  I then tried Obsidian.md (and its extension) which blew out all of these, but unfortunately is not free software.

                                  This experience changed my priorities, and I moved to Trilium because as it's not text based, you can use advanced workflow (for example, create everyday a note with the current date, but the best is to check out the demo content from Trilium), have notes appearing in multiple place in a tree structure (which I discovered was important for me) and is super scriptable.

                                  Check out this mad person turning Trilium notes into a CMS: https://wingysam.xyz/posts/tePIFQKUbTQ3

                                  I also hoped there would be an android app, but it's not the case. The mobile version is really usable though, so eventually I'd like to help make it a PWA.

                                    I guess you could "install" it as a browser app so it has its own button and auto logs in?

                                    I do this with lots of forums I use regularly.

                                      @ruihildt
                                      Thank you. Scripting is one of the things I see Trilium praised about. My understanding of scripting is minimal. But I understand enough to see how that could be a game changer. It is a matter of weather I would use the scripting. A few of the existing scripts might be useful enough for me to make the leap. But what about using it when away from my pc. I really need a way to bridge the phone and the pc with as little friction as possible. Being able to take notes while reading a report or reviewing a video or an audio file on my mobile phone would be extremely helpful.

                                      Obsidian is pretty amazing. It is part of a broader evolution of knowledge management. I know a number of people who are using it and loving it. I have also heard good things about logseq and athens While plain text is future proof, it is difficult when working with video and audio files.

                                      I discovered Codex I really like the freeform access it give to one's data- specifically multimedia. But I have not had a chance to look deeply into it. I suspect that there is a good chance it is not future proof.

                                      @jdaviescoates A good idea. I think part of it is how easy it is to navigate while on a smartphone as well.

                                        Thank you. Scripting is one of the things I see Trilium praised about. My understanding of scripting is minimal. But I understand enough to see how that could be a game changer. It is a matter of weather I would use the scripting. A few of the existing scripts might be useful enough for me to make the leap. But what about using it when away from my pc. I really need a way to bridge the phone and the pc with as little friction as possible. Being able to take notes while reading a report or reviewing a video or an audio file on my mobile phone would be extremely helpful.

                                        Obsidian is pretty amazing. It is part of a broader evolution of knowledge management. I know a number of people who are using it and loving it. I have also heard good things about logseq and athens While plain text is future proof, it is difficult when working with video and audio files.

                                        I discovered Codex I really like the freeform access it give to one's data- specifically multimedia. But I have not had a chance to look deeply into it. I suspect that there is a good chance it is not future proof.

                                          @jdaviescoates Do you highlight, share and then post to the Next cloud doc?
