Migrating from neuron

To use Emanote in your existing neuron notebook,

  1. Configure it to use Neuron-like layout (this is optional)
  2. In all notes, replace neuron’s z:zettels-style tag queries with Obsidian-style queries.
    • Note: Query results do not impact graph connections (thus backlinks). If you want to establish connections to multiple notes, do it by explicitly linking to them individually. Emanote chose this option, because it was simpler to implement. Users are encouraged to try to persuade the author otherwise if there is a compelling rationale.
  3. If you have a head.html, transfer its contents to index.yaml (see example and explanation)

Capabilities Emanote provides, but neuron does not

  • Live server (thanks to Ema)
  • Better linking
    • Flexible WikiLinks (link to directories, or based on path, eg: [[Foo/Bar]]) including File WikiLinks.
    • More lenient handling of malformed Markdown (eg: broken links)
  • Obsidian-style queries
    • “Timeline backlinks” (Twitter-like registering of thoughts on any note)
  • Full-text search
  • Better hierarchical directory tree integraion
    • Full path based URLs (unless slug is set)
    • Static files can be placed anywhere (not just in ./static folder)
  • YAML based configuration at per-route level
  • Layer system (merge Zettelkastens, or overlay them)
  • Hierarchical tag index, and task index.
