gollark: Which sound very fancy, although I have no idea how they work.
gollark: On a Discord server for another modern note-taking thing I'm on someone was talking about "n-grams" and "latent dirichlet allocation".
gollark: There are also, if NLP were not so bee, *many* useful approaches I could take to categorize things efficiently.
gollark: I'm likely to implement (eventually) fuzzy page name matching where it tells you stuff *like* what you spelt. Right now the search just looks for pages containing the same word (give or take endings, SQLite uses some "porter stemming" algorithm).
gollark: > "nice editor" sounds good. for instanceI mostly just mean that it will, for instance, keep your current indentation/list level if you add a newline. I can't think of much other useful stuff, markdown is simple enough.> it'd be cool to have a way to embed links to other notes a way that's as easy as adding a tenor gif to a discord messageYou can, it's just `[[link text:note name]]` or `[[note name]]` if they're both the same. "Nice editor" may include something which shows fuzzy matches > sematic taggingI thought about tagging but realized that "bidirectional links" were *basically* the same thing; if you put `[[bees]]` into a document, then the `Bees` page has a link back to it.
