asciiflow VS obsidian-releases

AsciiFlow

AsciiFlow, wonderful tool. Modified slightly in vim to fit the format better.

And https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow if you’re searching a web version.

This is perhaps a tangent, but I've used https://asciiflow.com/#/ a few times now to insert diagrams into my source code as comments. I understand people might have negative opinions on the efficacy of comments that this would only exacerbate, but nevertheless I've appreciated what AsciiFlow gave me.

Strange that a pretty common way to serve static sites is not mentioned: Multi-stage Docker builds [e.g. 1] an nginx-alpine image in Gitlab CI, that is automatically deployed to Kubernetes/a Docker host somewhere.

I like the idea of ASCII diagram editors but... Mac only and doesn't actually use ASCII as it's format? However shiny it's interface may be that seems to defeat the purpose of the portability you are supposed to get.

I've been using https://asciiflow.com/#/ to make and edit simple diagrams, it's fairly basic but sufficient for 90% of what I want so far.

Could have something a little more usable if you pasted into a tool like https://asciiflow.com/ and then copied your edits back into source.

Or an editor plugin with something like the automatic table formatting you get with emacs org-mode.

Most people think of Obsidian as a much more secure alternative to Notion.

The app can also export your snips along with the transcription to services like Readwise or note taking apps like Obsidian, Logseq, Bear etc

My way around just toying with site generators and actually write was:

Start by writing to yourself. I started with writing down ideas in a private markdown system. (I’d recommend https://obsidian.md today.)

I became less self-conscious about my target audience was myself. It also became easier to make assumptions about what they (I) know, which is still a game of “will I understand this in a year or two?” For me, writing about tech to a near-future version of myself was the beginning.

Another tip: You may be in control of your documents (you maintain them, not some online system you don’t own), but if you use someone else’s blog platform, you won’t have a chance to rabbit-hole the site making. There’s something liberating about only caring about the content, not the layout.

For some subjects, it helps to write under a pseudonym, because you can experiment with what’s on your mind and not how people will treat you based on what you say. I’ve wanted to write about things like pornography and past jobs (those are unrelated, hehe), but I don’t want to upset past colleagues or seem obsessed about pornography.

I know there are note-taking/ knowledge-base apps like Obsidian that are insanely customizable with hundreds of possible plugins, a lot of med school students use this to keep track of all the different anatomy systems by linking them up with graphs etc. This seems to be what you're looking for?

Second best: anything versatile enough that it's basically like pen & paper. Somebody mentioned Miro, you can also look at Notion and Obsidian (what I use).
