Description
So I tried out Obsidian which is a markdown notetaking application While using it I thought wonder if I can build something similar to this.
Solution
Using Electron seemed like the easiest way to do this with. Since you could use some sort of prebuilt text editor so I could focus on the features I wanted. Creating something that parses the markdown. I changed some of the textformatting so it's not identical to markdown.
Result
Looking back
It was pretty hard to do since I had no previous experience with electron. Parsing the markdown was fun to implement. It was a good learning experience. I really liked the #listfiles feature that could create indexes of all files in the subfolder.
