    Been an early supporter Love the features, simple and fast Looking forward to more task mgmt features to help organize the day along with note taking Please add dictation and summarise mode too Don't need collaboration features but could be great to have Google drive support to backup the data.

    All the best and keep up the good work

    I fought the urge to try anything else other than https://Dendron.so The wait is over. Seems like the perfect replacement, it checks all the boxes: "Lightweight, Opinionated, Yours".

    I predict you HUGE success!

    Thanks for your work.

      Thank you!

      Lot's of things planned while aiming to keep the lightweight and opionionated philosophy!

    This is amazing, and truly impressive.

    What's the best place to submit issues, feature requests, etc?

    Something I use on Obsidian is my own CSS as a theme (to override default editor styling). I see themes is a feature of Octarine. Will users be allowed to set their own CSS as a "custom theme"?

    • rajatkulk 5 days ago ago

      Either:

      1. Discord (https://octarine.app/discord)

      2. Github (http://octarine.app/issues)

      Currently the app supports 33 themes (3 free, 30 on the pro license). There's an item on the roadmap that would allow you to create your own themes (each theme is a palette of 10-12 variables - border/bg/text/outline)

      Hope you like the app :)

    This looks really nice, love how clean the UI is.

    this is really really well designed in comparison to apps like obsidian, since the standard design is actually very readable and actually makes you want to write stuff. i think this could replace my current zettler setup in writing papers when you could map hotkeys to most stuff, and it would have a zotero integration in some way. lovely project!

    • rajatkulk 5 days ago ago

      Thank you! I haven't really used zotero, but I feel you can integrate it using url schemes? I have a PR up that opens up `octarine://` url scheme to allow creating notes/folders (it was built for the webclipper repo).

      Currently keymaps aren't modifiable, but there's an item on the roadmap to change hotkeys.

      • nfbx 5 days ago ago

        I don't have much clue about integration of such features as well unfortunately. Another thing I just realized though is, when you press CTRL+Z it will always open the "Recently Viewed" tab, I think that hotkey combination gotta be changed :D

        • rajatkulk 5 days ago ago

          Are you by any chance on a german keyboard? or a different keyboard layout?

          I've had a report before where they keyboard layout messes up, for Z & Y. `Cmd + Y` is Recently viewed while `Z` does undo

          • nfbx 5 days ago ago

            I'm on a german keyboard layout, yeah.

            • rajatkulk 4 days ago ago

              Figured! I'll spend time soon to have the keyboard layouts not dictate hotkeys or override them.

    Does it have multi cursor support? CTRL-shift D highlight for all occurrences of a selected text? That is the only reason I spin up VScode for.

    • rajatkulk 2 days ago ago

      Not at the moment, but it’s something I use in VSCode, so it’s on the backlog to be brought, just low on the priority list.

      Since find/replace works fine for the current use case (even if not optimal)

      • nashashmi 2 days ago ago

        When that is in while keeping it lightweight, I will be a customer. Multi cursor is a an incredibly versatile find and replace. It can remove newlines at specific points. It can skip a few characters of text. It can go up and down a certain number of lines before manipulating text.

        • rajatkulk 2 days ago ago

          Got it. I'll take a look, but there's no timeline guarantees.

          The use case is far too niche to move engineering efforts to immediately, so it'll be prioritised when either:

          - the ask quantity increases.

          - when an adjacent part of the code is being improved/fixed and this could be tacked upon in the same release.

          Thanks for the suggestion!
