Yeah, I was a bit worried about this and tried to be more clear. Good to know I successfully failed (haha) - Create a workspace with the circle plus button, in your workspace make sure you have the sidebar open (cmd/ctrl + b) then in the files click the new markdown icon (next to the trash button) - or if its an ellipsis button you can access it there

This is good feedback, thanks! I should try to make this journey more obvious.

Though I haven't tested it myself. I would say probably not very well. But, this is good to know - Thanks! Some of the of ui/ux currently is very targeted towards desktop, for instance drag and drop. Generally, interactions with a touch device would be pretty darn awkward.

This limitation is not intentional by design. I would like to support touch devices and mobile, but to do it properly could take some careful thought and consideration. It's open source and I am looking for some help and input from the community. Even if it's just opening issues, so don't be shy ;)

I had a similar toy project. Attempting to make custom day trips from guide books. I immediately ran into limitations naïvely chunking paragraphs into a RAG. My next attempt I’m going to try using a llm model to extract “entities” like holidays/places/history and store them in a graph db coupled with vectors and original source text or index references(page + column)

Still experimental and way outside my expertise, would love to hear anyone with ideas or experience with this kind of problem

I think this touches on the root of the issue. I am seeing a results over process winning. Code quality will reduce. Out of touch or apathetic project management who prioritize results, now are even more emboldened to have more tech debt riddled code

A local-first markdown editor and static publisher—offline-ready, Git-aware, with complete self-custody and zero backend dependencies. Can use in browser storage or mount a local directory

You might even say a Obsidian alternative

Very similar to what I’m building with opal editor. The “site” is static markdown which lives and is stored in your browser, css, images, markdown and html. You can keep it as is with markdown or compile to html. From there you can easily push to vercel GitHub cloudflare netlify. Cheating the server less bit of it by using CORS proxies

MIT and open source no documentation yet. But coming very soon

I wonder if just tagging and filtering automatically via a GitHub setting which currently doesn’t exist could serve the same purpose

when i first saw this, i thought it was a meme. There is no way the DOJ could be so incompetent to fumble their own cover up.

I would likely feel betrayed in a situation like this, but _sometimes_ there may be a sentence or two, capable of being more succinctly expressed via ai. This has happened to me personally. I have written something, came to a 'tip of the tongue' moment, then had ai help me to express it.

When used right, ideas could be distilled not extrapolated into slop. -- So maybe its not ALL BAD?

I propose a new quotation system, the 3 quote marker to disclose text written or assisted by ai:

'''You are absolutely right'''

While I agree with much of the sentiment, I believe a point will approach where the amount of code and likely its complexity; due to having been written by ai, will require ai to work with and maintain

open source browser first server-less markdown document workspace and publisher, contending to be a free obsidian alternative

storage is done in indexeddb or it can utilize opfs to work on a local file directory

comes with git integration

can publish to aws cloudflare vercel and github pages

built with shadcn react and typescript

great tool for archiving ICE abuses posted on multiple platforms

markdown and image cms in the browser. run and store documents totally offline and static. requires no server. not a pwa or electron

https://opaledx.com

- rich markdown editor (via mdxeditor.dev) and source (codemirror6)

- uses indexeddb and optionally opfs (select a directory on your local hd)

- some service worker hacks to do seamless image processing (jpg/png -> webp), storage and retrieval

- document snapshot history, thumbnail preview with iframe and snapdom: html->img sorcery

- live previews and compilations

- loads very quickly, navigation and cold starts, images make heavy use of the Cache api

- use in-browser git (thanks isomorphic-git) for version control; optionally sync with github via cors proxy (host your own if you want)

- best of all completely free to use. 99.5% finished MIT github repo dropping soon ;)

I really like this idea, I envision something where this would be made possible on browsers now. This could only happen after further consideration about the security implications of localhost html files using secure context apis like indexeddb and localstorage The powers that be would rather turn this concept into a mArKetPlaCe -- Just let us create! Why must we always kneel before the altar of capitalism?

I experimented a bit with the concept to build my resume, I had naively been using gatsby a while back. "Just use a plain html file!" - It was a real "duh!" moment. You just edit the embedded markdown then viola. Want a pdf? Press cmd+P

Would this sort of targeted app ban by the federal govt be the first of its kind in US? Without any arguments of the pros or cons, the precedent I think is worthy of some consideration.
