This get's posted to HN fairly frequently, always as a new Show HN.

Each time, it catches my interest, I try it out, and I cannot make it work for me. It looks really fantastic with a lot of documentation, but learning curve, preview, conflicting with existing vscode plugins, etc;

I'll likely continue to try it out, because the marketing and documentation looks so good. Having spent a fair bit of time on this now, I don't think it's really possible to have a good experience with VSCode as the input.

We've been doing weekly iterations so there's been a bunch of changes between posts.

As for the learning curve, yes, you're right and we're working on it.

We just launched a new tutorial: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/678c77d9-ef2c-4537-97b5-64556d...

One of our users also made a great video series about Dendron on egghead: https://t.co/qIRvQqtttZ

compared to something like org-mode how complex is the learning curve here? with org you can be up and running with the basics of the notes in a few min.
Until then, I’ll just keep having 50 draft documents open in BBEdit, occasionally saving them off somewhere permanent.
