He also made Treesheets which is where I first heard about him. I recommend people interested in Personal Knowledge Management or related stuff check Treesheets out because while uglier compared to Obsidian there's some really great ideas in there. I won't spoil the fun but if you've got 15 minutes it's pretty easy to go through the tutorial. https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets

Nope, not seen this one, though there are many similar such specification languages. This one looks a bit overly verbose? I suppose someone could write a description of https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/blob/master/TS/docs/... in that specification language to give parsers in many languages. May not be as easy as it sounds with the embedded PNGs and compression etc.

Why does the Mac version throw up a dialog box asking if I want to accept incoming network connections? I used the Mac installer linked on the project Github: https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/releases

Yes, it is (compressed) binary: https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/blob/master/TS/docs/... TreeSheets tries to be highly efficient in space/time, which is challenging with text formats. There's an option in the menus for auto html export on every save. It's what I use to browse my data from non-supported devices, e.g. mobile (thru e.g. DropBox).

First, big respect for working on software for so many years! My question is what data format is it using? I found some examples here [1], but looks like it's a custom binary format? Is there a functionality to auto-export (e.g. on save) to plaintext (xml/json/whatever), so I could hook TreeSheets files to other apps? I appreciate it would be lossy, but even a tree/graph structure with text nodes would be good. E.g. I'm a big fan of using plaintext search over all of my personal data/information, even in siloed apps [2] [1] https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/tree/master/TS/examp...

C++ and wxWidgets under a ZLIB licence; nice! https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets

It’s a simple binary format. I’ve written a parser for it in python. https://gist.github.com/quag/e219f69670cd395d4a59a392557df28... An older version (v16) of the format is documented, but that was before zlib compression was added. I’ve opened an issue and listed out the gaps in the spec, but haven’t gotten around to updating the spec itself. https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/issues/185 Happy to answer questions about the format.

There's a version of the tutorial[1] online, but the 2-dimensional, nested document setup doesn't really map that well to other formats. It does support various exports, from a quasi-WYSIWYG equivalent using HTML tables to more abstract ones (XML, outlines etc.). The native format (.cts) seems to be binary, with a simple spec online[2]. [1]: https://strlen.com/treesheets/docs/tutorial.html [2]: https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/blob/master/TS/docs/...

It does have limited calc, but I tend to think of it as more of an afterthought. The scripting is “very incomplete” in the words of the author, consider e.g. https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/issues/37

Yup, even with or without installer, see last run here: https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/actions/runs/9514897...

By the way! Thanks for Treesheets I love how naturally it helps you when thinking through a topic. I built a Python treesheets cts file to HTML converter so I could quickly see my treesheets along side other notes in my notebooks. Issue created: https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/issues/185 My (partial) parser in Python: https://gist.github.com/quag/e219f69670cd395d4a59a392557df28... If people would like the current format documented and simple test files to parse please let me know. It’s a 1-2 day task to get it to the point were I wouldn’t have had to read the code to write a parser.

Does the CI build Windows binaries? I could not find them at https://github.com/aardappel/treesheets/actions
