Knowledge Lab ( code )

I'm sticking to this name (for now). It's better than the description of it, which is essentially .NET/ML-style LogSeq.

Wails is a similar tool to Tauri but lacks some of the nice to have features, like app data/config directory resolution. Fortunately, I'd say that this is largely a solved problem with package xdg . I feel a little ridiculous for not discovering this sooner, given how often I've written cross platform code for config directory detection.

Some of the problems I'm solving today, namely block management, parsing tasks and tags, really makes you appreciate what people are able to accomplish. The blocks on leaflet are really well done and robust. LogSeq does a lot of fantastic stuff as well (which makes me wonder if that's why they wrote the UI in Clojurescript .

It's about ~10 minutes to midnight, so I'm going to keep this one short. Heads up to any readers: these might start to get kind of long starting tomorrow.
