Hello again everyone, Dihar here. It’s been a while since the last release of treedome, but here you go! This release is all about UI update, emojis, and bug fixes. Please consult this git diff for a more detailed changelog https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/compare/0.4.5...0.5.0. These are the highlight of the release.
- Add emoji picker for title, will show up in tree!
- Text Editor toolbar is back, now with option to toggle both toolbar and floating menu independently!
- Checkbox is here! Thanks Mantine UI!
- You can check the size of each notes by navigating to Escape Menu -> Configure -> Show Note Sizes!
- Add created/last modified date in notes. Note created before this will not have this field and will set as today’s date!
- Create child note can now be done through dropdown instead of only from shortcuts!
- Fix bugs of saving empty tree
- General UI update and more stability for auto scrolling in tree view
- Documentation update
what worries me about all these note taking apps is are they are future proof? (it’s why i use libreoffice and org-mode), I am worried a project will get abandoned and then all the knowledge i inputted (which is years of work) could be hard to migrate.
Maybe all those note taking apps should develop a standard to import and export to?
If you really want to be future proof and interoperable, I suggest you to use something like a git repository + vscode + foam (https://github.com/foambubble/foam). All of the tech is open source and relatively easy to use, especially if you already know git.
Treedome on the other hand can be abandoned. It can be swallowed by the sands of time. It uses a custom file format after all. But because of its open-source nature, as long as you have the code, you can open the notes. But that’s a good idea, to be able to export to a plaintext file. You could make a request here if you want https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues

It’s not that future proof, it is using non standard extensions to markdown from what i can tell, so other software would not work with it . The most future proof alternative is creating some standard that is the result of a consensus among multiple implementations (maybe by enhancing common mark? but that seems like the wrong place).
Its future proof tho? Markdown has a standard (or at least a common implementation) and foam is just a tool to automate and graph all the boring parts?
Is this similar to obsidian, or?
nope, there are some differences (i use the one from my old posts):
- Not open source, treedome is open source.
- Uses a centralized server to sync your notes, treedome instead uses a single local file which you can sync, move around, however you want.
- Uses graph, treedome is working with trees and tagging instead.
- Uses plugins to add more feature to the notes, treedome doesn’t plan to do this. We at least want a complete experience out of the box, with notes files that’s fairly stable within a major version. I have to make it stable since the start because I’m already using it for work and personal.
Thanks for updating this, I really love this project!
Keep up the good work, I use this on nixos
This looks like it would be right up my alley, how can I get this onto my bazzite(ublue immutable) system?
is it this one https://bazzite.gg/? Does it have .deb support? Because if so, you can install it easily because i release it with .deb and nix. If not, you can always compile it yourself using the docs here https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/src/branch/master/docs/development/development-setup.md. Please make an issue in the repo if you have any suggestion on improving the docs.
Jupp that’s the one 😊 I’ll have to do some digging as I’m not too sure myself. I’ll update you om how it goes as I really want to try this out!
I’d recommend checking out Distrobox, which allows you to create containers of other Linux distros then export their applications as if they were native. Install a distrobox with one of the distros that this program works with, use the terminal to install the program within it, then if it isn’t immediately in your applications menu use the distrobox export feature to place it there.
You could also layer Nix onto your bazzite image and install it that way, but if you don’t know Nix it’ll be complicated
