- I [[ditched foam]] on [[2021-05-08]] due to an accumulation of paper cuts. [[foam]] is fine, but now I've seen [[obsidian]] as of May 2021 I have no qualms moving on -- at least for now.
- This page documents what I did to get my [[foam]] garden to be fully [[obsidian]] compatible.
- See [[install obsidian]] for how to get [[obsidian]] running to [[agora]] standard.
- I ditched [[slugs]]. That means that files that used to be named `an-example.md` are now named `an example.md`. I used to think slugs were superior but on second thought the filesystem doesn't seem like the right layer to add them. Better to encode in full unicode and then [[slugify]] at render time.
- [[pull]] [[ditched slugs]]
- [[foam]] used to add autogenerated footnotes to each page for some kind of compatibility mode that never seemed to work for me:

- To remove this needless metadata from a [[digital garden]], you can use the following one-liner:
- `sed -i '/\[\/\/begin\]/,/\[\/end\]/d' *md`
- sed is "native" to [[linux]] and [[os x]] but these days should be installable in windows through [[wsl]].
- This brought the word count in my garden from ~140k to ~120k.
