Idea inbox for extensions / plugins

[srid]

Dedicating a topic where people can add not-yet-fully-fleshed-out things that Emanote can support as an optional extension or a plugin. Each idea should be their own reply below.

Drawing graphs and figures from Markdown

See srid/neuron#228 (comment) (screenshot from @b0o)

Or just support Mermaid: https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/

[srid]

This now working: https://note.ema.srid.ca/tips/js/mermaid

EDIT: "working" ... as in, a basic version using client-side JS. I imagine we could also have first-class support for Mermaid, which would also allow us to support wiki-links inside Markdown notes.

User-written plugins (meta)

Using a runnable-in-Haskell language like Carp: https://github.com/carp-lang/Carp

User adds plugins/foo.carp to their notebook, and it gets loaded and used automatically, in live-server and static site generator. Plugins would have full access to the Emanote API, and be able to run code at various hook points (eg: to transform Pandoc AST programmatically).

Extremely far in the future, and way out of scope: Provide ways to fetch data from Wikidata.

Example: I mention a movie and can display its year/country of origin. Or mention a painter and get a short bio. Or even their paintings.

I imagine this to work similar to widgets or embedding,

[j-steinbach]

Flash cards (Anki/Mochi support).

It would be useful to be able to read/display flash cards from markdown notes. That means embedding them and hiding the backside, which can then be "flipped" over.

Problem: There are a bunch of extensions with different syntax, but their baseline seems to be the h2 tags. 1 2 3 4

(Generation of flash cards should be done with a separate tool)

Note: This idea is not yet well thought out, but I want to mention it before I forget again. And maybe someone else gets inspiration.

I built a sort of crappy but working bash script that lets me symlink .md files from anywhere on the filesystem to be used as anki/flashcards in the program. they’re “flippable”, too. My two cents: The spaced repetition algorithm and other features needed to make this work is too much for emanote. BUT: having the notes live _in_ your ema library makes a lot of sense - which is why I made my script and keep my “cards” in my zettelkasten. here it is: https://github.com/vcavallo/plaintext-spaced-repetition-cli I wanted it to have near zero dependencies, which is why i didn’t make a much better version in a more capable language.
