Welcome

Welcome the the DBGI Dendron.

As you might have read in The DBGI Dendron notes, we will follow the Open Notebook Science approach to document our research in the frame of the DBGI projects.

For this we use the Dendron system as a mean to efficiently capture notes and publish them.

What is Dendron ?

Dendron is an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool. Think of it as a cache for everything that you care about - if you've spent more then five minutes solving a problem, you should never spent any more time solving the same exact problem.

Dendron is a knowledge base built by and for developers and integrates natively with IDEs like VS Code and VSCodium.

Where to get more info on Dendron ?

  • You can get more information in the Dendron system at the official website www.dendron.so
  • All the Dendron documentation is hosted here https://wiki.dendron.so/ . It is, obviously, a Dendron itself.
