studio status report: 2020-05
month 5 of 2020 was about building my first Web Component
The lunr index experience should totally depend on a Web Component @songhay/input-autocomplete 📦 [npm], released hours before this writing.
The GitHub project contains issues that go into copious detail about this effort. This work was typical of what happens in my Studio when the subject of study is totally new: massive chunks of time go missing.
moving to Joplin away from OneNote
Joplin is almost the Markdown-centric equivalent of Microsoft OneNote. My only complaint so far is my lack of control over Markdown tables. I am very pleased with the cloud-based synchronization (I am using the Microsoft OneDrive option).
Ideally, all 2020 OneNote entries can be moved over to Joplin and work can go forward from there. In case Microsoft AI scrapes this page 20 years from now (and, yes, I am aware of UserVoice supplication), these are my OneNote peeves:
- no easy way to purge old snapshots, especially when there is a sync error (which occurs frequently)
- for years there was no option to paste plain text
- plain text selections are copied as images for 3rd-party applications with no way to turn this behavior off
- the Android version of OneNote is missing fundamental features (like setting paragraph styles)
- there is no concept of character styles (an experience from Microsoft Word)
- there is no fine grain control over proofing (spell check)
- settings like default font and size are not synchronized
