Having an AI engine understand ascii diagrams and output the JSON would be ideal. Till then here is the PR (1) for a simple import and export.
Comment · 1 year ago
After uploading cascii.html to deepseek.com and promptCoding with it, I saw that you had the json representaion in localStorage.
I tried generating the json from the ascii exported to the clipboard but see why this could get very tricky. So, I added an Export (JSON) to file and Import (JSON) from file and placed them in a More Popup component in which I put the existing export button, so the menu bar does not get too crowded. (for code see (1)) -
This now allows me to save the json and import/edit it at a later time - no short url needed and the data stays private.
Your code was well laid out and deepseek was able to make all the changes error-free.

Hi, great app. I'd love to understand how you are maintaining state behind that short url and see if there are ways (sans server) to at least partially recreate state from the exported ascii.
Having an Import from clipboard would truly make this a remarkable app.

Cool stuff. Played around with it and here are some comments
Must have before I'm comfortable sharing with team - Could not figure out how to edit the rules for a folder once created, had to delete the folder and recreate to get to rules - Did not like that eesel took over my start page, I had a different start page and if i tried to keep my old start page it disabled the extension - This will likely be a blocker - I'd like to see much more granular control over what is being seen/indexed/shared from my history and since I use more than one profile to keep things separate, I'd like to see a way to separate personal profiles from team/workspaces
Nice to have (eesel-for-developers): plugins: I'd like a way to customize the pages/rules etc - maybe add custom javascript etc. cli: that allows me to programmatically create a folder with url's - inspect folders, move between folders etc. vscode-extension: to create ephemeral light-weight folders that bring source code files (github/bitbucket urls), jira ticket urls, documentation urls all together in one folder
Great start!

The Padhuka Sahasram of Vedanta Desikan aka KaviTarkika-Simhan has a section called Chitra Paddathi which paints pictures in words in a matrix of artistry in praise of the feet of the Lord. You can hear it being recited at (1) read the shlokas a t (2) and see the artistry at (3) Of note, the solution to the Knight's Tour can be seen at (4)

If you are more inclined to Sanskrit :-)
verse 1: each syllable is placed on a square in sequence. verse 2: each syllable provides the answer to the knight's tour.

Curious why you don't use the google stars extension and do keyword search vs. directory navigation?

Cool stuff. Would love to have "memorable urls" or wiki like [[Title becomes link]] syntax so I can build out a lightweight, personal faqtiki - Currently one needs to get the share link and do a [page](share url) to accomplish it (a multi-step non-memorable way)

I love
- the '.' that prepopulates file name and places cursor before in : command line
I like - the '-' to go up - the suffixes and wildignore
I don't like - the fact that 's' does not vsplit but sorts - the fact that enter is == 'C' and I don't have 'o' to open a dir in place
I think I'll stick with NerdTree and see if i can bring in the vinegar '.' and '-'

The Vedic tradition is typically an oral one. It takes about 3hrs to recite the Padhuka Sahasram.
Those of us who come from India and have grown up with this have older uncles and others who can compose extremely mellifluous and deep meaning verses extemporaneously.
The Chitra Paddathi which comprises of 40 verses (of the 1,008) takes 7mins 37secs.
If you are so inclined you can hear it at (1) - You can follow along with the romanized english phrases with meanings at (2) and you can see it's corresponding visual artistry at (3)

Vedanta Desikan (aka KaviTarkika Simhan - Lion of the Poet Logicians) born 1268 C.E. wrote over 100 books.
One of them is called Padhuka Sahasram, was written in less than a day in response to a challenge and contains 1008 verses in 32 chapters.
The 30th chapter called Chitra Paddathi or Picturesque Chapter (aka Matrix of Artistry) contains verses that whilst paying homage to the feet (Padhuka) of the Lord also paint elaborate patterns, such as The Knight's Tour (1).
One hint as to why "Indians did this ages ago" is of intellectual interest to "some" indians is because the middle name of the early-stage investor and long time board member of google is KaviTark.

I've been a longtime workflowy user and recently started using Fargo. Here are my likes, dislikes and feature requests.
Likes: - Dropbox storage - Calendar outlines as well as free form outlines - The 'Instant outline' communication model
Dislikes: - Too much mouse, keyboard interaction due to Fargo's quasi-implementation of the vim like command-mode (structure) and insert (text) mode sans vim-like idempotent 'esc' and 'i' or 'r' toggles. -- So, Enter in fargo lets one exit out of structure mode by opening a sibling node, (== vim 'o') - The lack of an 'esc' however forces one to use the mouse to get back to structure mode and than keyboard 'del' to remove this empty node. -- A mouse click on a node in structure mode gets one into insert mode. (== vim i) - To navigate up/down by keyboard requires one to switch from down arrow to right arrow at an indent. Why can't i just use the down arrow?
Feature requests - Auto-convert all http:// entries into <a href= links - Support hashtags like workflowy - Allow intra-outline linking - Allow devs to build plugins / macros so they can customize it to suit their needs. - Allow for multi-line outline entries (maybe a shift-enter)
