I'm very interested in a compare between the two!! I'd known of Foam & was planning to at around with it's forming new extension api[1].

I like that foam stores history in git, & can write static html output, which the project uses to self-document.

It'd be sweet to hear from folks who've tried both how they found the experience. I'll try to become one of those folks myself, at some point.

Dendron is similar to foam. We support all the features of foam but put the emphasis on structuring and organizing your notes.

Dendron helps you organize your notes into hierarchies that you can enforce using schemas (think type system but for your hierarchies)

The problem we're solving: once you have hundreds or thousands of notes, how do you find a specific one?

FYI, following that link brings us to a link about hierarchies https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f3a41725-c5e5-4851-a6ed-5f5410... which then attempts to link to an 'axiom' which is 404: https://www.kevinslin.com/organizing/its_not_you_its_your_kn...

one note on Foam vs. Dendron .. reminds me of vim vs emacs.

One of them is simple and just gets out of your way, the other is more powerful and complex and requires more investment to set up correctly to your use case. Probably different strokes for different folks here.
