If you're giving Foam a look, also consider svsool's unfortunately named "Memo" (previously Markdown Memo): https://github.com/svsool/memo It's a VSCode plugin for groups of Markdown notes similar to Foam and Dendron and inspired by Roam. I prefer this to Foam. One of the unique features Memo has is that links inside folders/namespaces don't have to be absolute if the name itself is unique, which is surprisingly convenient.

Another two good Foam-like VSCode tools are Markdown Memo (https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo) and Dendron. I personally prefer vscode-memo to Foam. It doesn't have a graphical view, but there a couple other things it does really well, especially its (optional) support for flattened wikilinks to hierarchically organized notes.

I think each solution brings something different to the table. I've tried Foam but not Memo and here are my thoughts (disclaimer: I'm the author of Dendron so have some bias here) 0. foam pieces together a bunch of different plugins to create a markdown note taking experience. it's highly flexible and as the creator has said (https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo/issues/9#issuecomment-...), is currently a testing ground for many different ideas. 1. dendron is a highly opinonated note taking tool that focuses on "structured note taking". it supports arbitrary links between notes while also organizing notes into canonical hierarchies. these hierarchies can be enforced by schemas, an optional type system for notes, that guide what notes hierarchies accept. dendron is all about letting you work with notes at scale - I created it to handle my

Recently, a few VSCode-based markdown note taking / knowledge base apps have been released, namely Foam[0], Dendron[1], and Memo[2]. Discussions in the below linked HN thread are useful, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried multiple of these apps and what they ended up settling with & why. I'm using Foam right now and enjoy it. Not looking to really 'distro-hop' between note taking apps all the time, but curious about others' thoughts.

And then there was VSCode Memo[1] on Show HN 2 weeks ago (but got no love[2]) - what's the reason that these similar tools are showing up? [1] https://github.com/svsool/vscode-memo [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23752195
