Very nice application ! Thank you for building it ! There are two things I like about SiYuan:
I know its easier said than done, but if they align with the project's goal it would be really helpful if you could implement them. |

Hello, I'm an Obsidian user coming across your Youtube video. Really nice effort. I got some questions after skimming through the doc and README:

Hi Adib, Thank you for building a great app! One suggestion that I could make is that you add custom vim keybindings, so for example, I could map Regards, Ger |

One of the big reasons I couldn't get used to Vim editing in Obsidian was how Vim interacted with word-wrapped lines. If I want to edit a word in the middle of a paragraph, it was near impossible without lots of different motions, instead of just moving to the line with It would be nice to have an option to move by visible lines with |

This one is a weird one, but is it possible to modify the vim mode, and create a Helix mode? I prefer Helix/Kakoune's way of working with text. Also, perhaps add support for Typst for math! People might be more used to LaTeX,, but me personally for note-taking, It'll be so much easier to write Typst on the fly compared to LaTeX. Thanks :D |

I stopped using obsidian and joplin awhile ago. I love using vim motions and "render-markdown" in neovim has been great for me . . . and the fact that all that markdown works seamlessly in ZenNotes is a huge bonus. Also, the "qutebrowser" like highlighting is incredible and makes perfect sense. I have 1 thing that I would like to see. maybe something like this is already in place and I am not seeing it. I would like to see the ability to designate 1 file in every "vault" as the "home" file. Maybe you can hit "leader h" to automatically navigate to "index.md" or something like that. For me I like a "main file" to compose myself. This is the first of the non neovim note taking paradigms that has an actual shot of taking over for my current paradigm. Very well done sir, I commend you. The use of images is clunky at best in neovim. They work . . . sometimes and mostly lol. |

It would be cool to have the ability to set an icon/emoji for notes and folders, maybe even set a color for them. Like what this obsidian plugin does. This is a great app btw! |

Hi everyone, I found ZenNotes through @adibhaana's YouTube video and fell in love with the idea right away. Today I moved my personal knowledge base (about 5000 files) from Obsidian over to ZenNotes. I run it with a setup called myPKA, which I can really recommend (https://github.com/myICOR/myPKA). The whole migration went very smoothly. The MCP works great too, and I use it directly in Claude as part of the instructions I give it. I installed the desktop app on macOS and on Omarchy Linux. On top of that I set up the Docker version so I can reach my notes from my Nothing Phone and an iPad, including remote access over Tailscale. That works really well. I did run into two small things and filed bug reports for them, but overall everything just works. One thing I would really wish for is a more mobile optimized experience. It works on the phone already, but especially on a smartphone a more polished mobile layout would make a big difference for me. Since this discussion is about collecting ideas, here is mine. I opened a feature request for an embedded terminal. A lot of people already do this in VSCode or Obsidian, because then you have a full environment for your notes including AI right next to them. As I mentioned, I use myPKA together with Claude Code for exactly that. I think this is where it gets interesting. With the MCP and a built in terminal, ZenNotes could become a complete replacement for Obsidian for a lot of (AI working) people. Obsidian is mostly used as nothing more than a plain text editor anyway, and not everyone wants to deal with VSCode. I was honestly about to write my own Neovim plugin for this, but what you have built with ZenNotes is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great work. |

Well done ! I use ZenNotes along Obsidian on the same vaults. I miss only these two features from Obsidian:
The git plug-in enable us to share a vault of documentation among 20 editors, the second is needed in order to set properties to drive other publishing programs in the commit triggered workflow. |

Great work on the application. I'm currently using Obsidian and am trying out Remnote and would be interested in the following two features:

I've run across a little annoyance. In the tasks view, the hints (leader+h) view doesn't work. There's also no way to expand the "Done" category. Am I missing a hotkey? |
