Show HN: Study, research and learn with thinking notebook – MindForger 1.50.0

This looks very interesting. Somehow didn&#x27;t know about Mindforger, even though I read a lot about this subject.<p>Recently published a blog post about my own knowledge management practices as a software engineer: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tkainrad.dev&#x2F;posts&#x2F;managing-my-personal-knowledge-base&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tkainrad.dev&#x2F;posts&#x2F;managing-my-personal-knowledge-ba...</a>

This looks a lot like something I have been imagining in my head (and tinkering with building on and off for a while). Thank you, I will for sure try this.<p>One thing that stands out to me though is the lack of mobile support. I want my note-taking app to also handle my shopping lists, and then I need to be able to access them while in the grocery store on my mobile.<p>Yes, having my grocery shopping list in a note-taking app is overkill - it&#x27;s just that I want all my lists and notes in one place.

The new release looks awesome and I will give it a try. Thank you for the great work!<p>I am still missing one thing: A live markdown editor (real time preview) like in Mark Text[0] and Typora[1].<p>Of course MindForger contains much more really useful features to connect thoughts and stay organized but somehow I prefer the writing experience with real time preview (it is also less intimidating for users who don&#x27;t know markdown which is very likely if they don&#x27;t work in IT).<p>I don&#x27;t say this has to be the de facto default but I would appreciate a &quot;live-mode&quot; you can toggle.<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marktext&#x2F;marktext" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marktext&#x2F;marktext</a> [1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.typora.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.typora.io&#x2F;</a>

Looks very promising. What would be the advantages if switching from org mode?

Nice to see an open-source alternative to ConnectedText [1], though, it looks pretty unstable for 1.50.0 release (constantly crashes on switching views, graph navigator is lagging even with 3 nodes, no control over the window&#x27;s layout and sizing).<p>[1]: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.connectedtext.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.connectedtext.com&#x2F;</a>

Thank you, dvorka! I recall having come across your website, and MindForger a few weeks ago when I was looking for lite Markdown editors. Thank you for posting. I am going to try it soon.

The idea looks interesting, but I don&#x27;t feel like the examples show a strong enough improvement over just using multiple windows and some pdfs and a notebook.

Is it possible to sync notes to mobile and quickly make small changes? Simple Note is the best at this. Currently I am using inkdrop which is a little slower to load due to the web view refresh of react native.

Looks interessting and horrible. UI and UX seems to need much more love till it becomes friendly.<p>There is no navigation-history?

That screenshot looks like it was designed by me, except I would have used a different color scheme, or given you a color scheme switcher dropdown somewhere.<p>This is unfortunately not a compliment. I suppose it&#x27;s great, but something designed by me will always be borderline unusable.
