Directional links
I'd really love the option of directional links - it'd help my notes a lot. Any chance of it being brought in? I appreciate that the README says explicitly that direction is not given, is this is choice based on usage, or a note taking "schema"?
I wouldn't want this. If implemented, please make it a setting to toggle on and off.
@geekscrapy why would this be helpful? Could you please expand on that? There may be more features hidden there!
@Am3ra my notes generally centre around investigation of network attacks. They are free form notes (analysis writeups) which by tell a story of what happened on that host. At the end of analysis, I convert these markdown notes straight to a Word doc and submit to clients. The links between these notes come If an attacker moves between hosts. If the attacker goes from host A>B I can see the direction they were generally heading straight from my textual notes!. At the moment I can see where they were, but I don't get a sense of which host was the origin and the direction of travel throughout the network.
I want to say, I do have graph networks and databases to hand, but they don't allow me to directly write to a text file, which other people can instantly access without needing to know how to query, export etc. So, for me, it'd not only look better, it'd give me a great overview of what happening with my notes.
I can also see this being useful to create more mind map type note-taking.
Links in Markdown are directed by nature, we just don't really care about that property.
@nixsee I agree, definitely something that would go to config.
@geekscrapy Thanks for reporting that and thanks so much for the detailed description. It makes me proud that a thing I initiated has so interesting use cases.
I don't have much time recently so won't be able to help but if anybody wants to check how creating such arrows looks in d3-force I'd be happy to help with any problems.
Neuron uses #[[..]] and [[..]]# (the former is semantically equivalent to tagging as well) to denote direction and label of the link (the # here means folgezettel). See https://neuron.zettel.page/folgezettel
