mission

• building composable pieces of functionality for working with markdown files
• enabling more advanced workflows, while dealing with flat files only
• tying it together in a vscode extension

ideas

• data:
  • represent everything as a graph
    • inter-document links
    • documents themselves
• flat file wiki:
  • links
  • backlinks
  • find broken links
  • tags
    • file-level (frontmatter)
    • per section
  • frontmatter
  • refactoring:
    • updating links, when file gets renamed
    • updating links, when directory gets renamed / moved
    • extracting section of a file to new file, and inserting a link to new file
    • rename / replace (frontmatter) tags
  • visualization
    • basic graph visualiztion
    • make nodes 'pinnable' (to be able to mix manual and automatic layout)
    • zoom / pan
  • versioning (using git): either automatic or manually
  • static site generator?
• todo lists:
  • implement an existing notation?
    • research state of the art
