Dendron is tremendously valuable for my daily work as a product-oriented software engineer!
Very good app for note taking. Builds on experience of past to build a new app. I am using it now regularly. Most recommended
A different approach to note taking that works at its absolute best even when your digital garden turns into a forest.
As a part-time/hobby developer, and person taking many notes for both my work and personal life, Dendron ticks all the right boxes for me: - It is based on Visual Studio Code, a powerful and extremely customizable platform for editing all kinds of text-based files, with a huge ecosystem of plugins that play nicely together with Dendron and enhance the workflow. - It uses Markdown, which has all the (for me) necessary formatting options, without forcing me to use a bloated, slow and proprietary WYSIWYG editor - and I can easily process the files with third-party tools or migrate my notes to another tool, if Dendron no longer meets my needs. Basically, I own my notes, not some company. This is also an incredible plus for privacy-minded people. - It uses git (or other source code management system) for version history, which is a really clever choice (why reinvent the wheel, if these tools do it so much better). - It has a friendly and professional community, including developers that listen to feedback and continously improve the product. - It allows me to build a "second brain" by linking back and forth between notes, while at the same time allowing me to use as little or as much structure in my hierarchy as I want. Who wouldn't I recommend Dendron to at this moment? - Non-techy people that want a one-click installer and a UI instead of keyboard shortcuts. (Learn to use keyboard shortcuts, seriously, you can thank me later.) - If you really don't want to use git, or another type of source control, which provides the version history for your notes. - If you work mostly on mobile devices (iOS/Android). There are solutions/workaround, but to me they feel sub-par to alternative note-taking tools at the moment.
