Using Mermaid JS to generate a diagram from Power Automate
Mermaid JS is a tool that lets you create diagrams and charts such as flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts using simple text commands. It works by converting your text commands into a graphical representation that you can customize and share. https://mermaid.live/

LLMs and Programming in the first days of 2024
I'm not OP, but I just ask GPT to turn code or process or whatever else into a mermaid diagram. Most of the time I don't even need to few-shot prompt it with examples. Then you dump the resulting text into something like https://mermaid.live/ and voilà.

Open-source drawing tool – Excalidraw
I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:
- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/
- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

I lost a full day's work thanks to Mermaid.
After hours without being able to solve this problem, I decided to make the chart directly in Mermaid's live editor and export it to PNG and SVG. The big problem is that the letters are still too small, the quality of the PNG is very low, and the SVG only works on the web, not with other applications like PowerPoint and Inkscape.

Custom CSS not working properly
I wanted to apply this theme (https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/discussion/3211) to my Zettlr, as these preset themes are kind of an eye sore. But, while it changes the toolbar and surrounding menus, it does not apply any changes whatsoever to the editor.

Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter
I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/
You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.
One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)
Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

Notion alternative: AppFlowy vs Outline vs Affine?
I discovered recently [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's beautiful. I use quite a lot Zettlr for taking notes on concepts and ideas but I have to say that logseq has become my starting point for daily, short, notes and tasks. I need to work on an integration with Zettlr however, I like the possibility of the latter to organize and connect the texts, especially convenient when writing essays.
What are some alternatives?
