If you want to try HelixNotes, be aware it overwrites the front-matter of notes you open (view only, no edit needed).
Hi ArkHost,
Obsidian user here. I tried HelixNotes for a couple of minutes and here's my feedback:
view modebadge). But that opens the linked note in my default.mdviewer, not the HelixEditor itself. IMO view-mode should be visually distinct and also work together with source-mode (so I can edit in source mode and then click view-mode to see the rendered note).$ ... $).Failed to acquire LockFile: LockBusy.Feel free to use my feedback however you want, or don't. Personally, there's more than one deal-breaker for me to switch from Obsidian to HelixNotes, without even considering the nice-to-have features added by all the plug-ins. I recommend you to listen to people who are more likely to use your editor than me, or are already using it. I hope my comment doesn't come over too negatively. I tried to give honest feedback why personally I won't use HelixNotes anytime soon. I wish you all the best.
Appreciate the honest feedback, doesn't come over negatively at all, this is exactly what helps improve the app.
HelixNotes isn't trying to be a replacement for Obsidian. It was a replacement for Obsidian for me, but different people have different needs. Thanks for taking the time.
You even overwrite previously existing front-matters. From just looking at a note. This is a fucking no-go! Luckily I was able to revert all the unwanted changes HelixNotes applied to my vault.
This is a warning for everyone who wants to try HelixNotes with an existing vault.
The import dialog warns you to make a backup before running as it modifies files in place. That said, the frontmatter overwrite on just viewing a note is a valid bug. I'll fix that, notes should only be modified when you actually edit them.
Fixed in v1.1.0
