Dendron v100 - Open source note taking for developers

I've been using Dendron for the last few months for my notes for work as well as for a Dungeons & Dragons game I DM. The graph-based approach to organizing data has been a huge benefit and the reason it has worked so well for me. That graph-based approach has removed the need for an extremely powerful search that I needed before and was unable to find. By tagging and referencing other notes I can more easily find everything relating to a topic or project.

Can I import from Roam?

Dendron is finally the solution to all my scattered notes. Between software development at my day job, personal code projects, and creative hobbies, I'm always trying to make note of new technologies, snippets of information, best practices, or simple ideas that cross my mind on a day to day basis. I've tried pocket notebooks, I've tried Rocketbooks, I've tried Google Keep, I've tried Evernote, and a dozen other's besides, but none of them fit into my workflow like Dendron does. I lose or forget my physical notes, and online note taking was either clunky, impossible to format, or difficult to search & organize. As a software engineer, I've almost always got a code window open, so swapping windows, taking a note, linking it to existing thoughts, committing it to a permanent code repository, all within a few seconds and without my hands leaving the keyboard is a game changer for me. Thank you Dendron!

Hi! I've tried different personal knowledge management tools (Foam, Notion, Obsidian and others) about a year ago, and wasn't fully satisfied with any of them. The next one to try was Dendron. I had some troubles with initializing a vault, but when I started using it, I was surprised with the power and ease of access of the pretty simple UI and intuitive commands. Since then Dendron got a bunch of improvements, including much simpler and stable initialization process. In general, I use it as a personal management tool for my everyday life and as a note-taking app for my work project for about a year, and I do like the direction Dendron has evolved during this time. Thanks!

Dendron is a game-changer. Every other system I've tried succumbs to the same problem: too much information scattered in too many places. It becomes impossible to know exactly where to put that information, with the obvious goal of wanting to know how to find it later. Dendron's approach (while not perfect), is by far the best system I've tried and used to solving this problem of information overload. The product hasn't hit its peak yet, and that's a good thing. I have high hopes for what Kevin and the Dendron team can accomplish with this product, and I know they'll do a great job because they understand intimately the problem they are aiming to solve. This is the kind of team/product you want to support.

I've been using Dendron for the last 3 months and it's perfect for a power user like me. I like VS Code and working in Vim mode so I love the fact that I can use these two tools to track my notes. The productivity unlocked by Dendron is massively underrated.

I've been using Dendron for a few months now. It's been a great tool to use and grow into for software engineering. I like that it's a VS Code extension and that I can use vim key bindings. The community is amazing as well. I plan to use Dendron more broadly for pkm.
