The author has shifted from using Obsidian to Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for note-taking, primarily utilizing the Dendron extension. Dendron enhances VS Code with advanced note-taking features, turning it into a robust Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system. It supports Markdown, visual diagrams through Mermaid, and mathematical typesetting with KaTeX, while also allowing for easy organization and reference linking between notes. Notably, Dendron's unique hierarchical structure replaces traditional folders, making it easier to build a comprehensive note repository. The extension also provides syncing capabilities with Git for backup. Additionally, the llama-vscode extension integrates local language models, significantly enhancing note retrieval and coding assistance by accessing a user’s documentation and error logs. This combination allows for efficient troubleshooting and code formatting, making VS Code a one-stop solution for both coding and note management.
