  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
