Bidirectional Linking in AppSoftware Journals
Sun, 27 Sep 2020 10:23 UTC by garethbrown
Example [[Plex]] becomes a link. In our markdown parser, we convert to a special link with no immediate target e.g.
When saving, we have added to the index
user: 1
journal_id: 1
section_id: 1
entry_id: 1
key: plex
Then on the [[Plex]] page we are able to fetch the index for that page and display data for it including path and the surrounding text.
Roam has an advantage in that it only needs to display the block, but we have advantage that full text search over the whole document will still work
Roam has a system for keeping pages in sync, where AppSoftware journals could be improved in this regard
It has so many other advantages too - but I might not need all the features
It has to be scalable too
How have they kept everything in sync
Can it be done in encrypted journals?
