MindForger advanced facts

  • Mindforger distinguishes between "in-note" headers and "note division" headers based entirely on whether there is a space before the header (if there is no space, it's a note divider). This is why imports get a header-derived note layout. 
    • The editor will, regardless of whether there is a space in front, make it have one. This means that new notes cannot be created in MindForger's editor. (Without bug exploitation)
    • If you make a custom stencil, you must then always have a space before headers, or otherwise the first header to break this rule will have everything below it appear, but nothing above.
  • AltN + R (Refactor) has a search bar. This is very useful for quickly moving information packets around.
  • If you place three dashes below a piece of text, without at least a line dividing the two, it will turn into a header, and be recognized in a buggy way as a note. This is useful kind of, but it creates more dashes, and a new metadata tag, every single time you reopen the file, leading to unnecessary bloating.
    • To avoid this, NEVER place a line of text directly above a line divider. Otherwise, you'll create some bizarre later-on file divisions.
    • You can use this regex to "fix" bugged note-headers like this into normal ones. But it will reset the time (which occurs regardless because of the constant header-replacing, so not a big deal).

    • * (^[^#].*[^."?!\r\n])\r\n([^\d#•])

      * ##\1 <!-- Metadata: type: Note; created: 2021-02-08 21:29:21; reads: 1; read: 2021-02-08 22:26:55; revision: 1; modified: 2021-02-08 21:29:21; --> \r\n

  • Notebooks (.md files) will preserve their original filename when renamed, but the name WITHIN the notebook will change, and that's what MF shows you.
  • Bizarrely, exiting and entering a file both count as "reads". Test it yourself.
  • The number of reads in a file refers to you entering it, and has no correspondence to notes within it.  
  • The "word list" associations only check for like words within the particular MD file; no separators are tolerated.

How do I write, and how do I write well?

Disclaimer: I'm not a writer. Why identify yourself with one profession? Writing is the recounting of experience, of passion and interest. If you care about something, it is effortless to write about it. If you do not, then it will be difficult, and the result won't be convincing. (IE, I can ramble about methodology all day, but find trouble with dialogue and characterization.) I'll discuss my knowledge of writing, and useful methods for keeping the river of words flowin'. Research First, love what you research. If you cannot do that, then at least study the details of it, take notes, and you'll eventually grow to love it through another way. Researching is a separate skill-set from writing, and you must make sure that you do not overdo research if writing is your intention. The internet is the greatest and worst invention for productivity, and the only thing that will make it useful is your determination for creation. Writing better Writing is like a river of habit

Minimizing self focus for readability, in a self-focused blog.

In the previous article, I intended to discuss the necessary self-focus, but was derailed due to my mental complaint of narcissism. In this, I will discuss further now the complaint has been resolved. In the spirit of experiment, I intend to write this blog in a professional, a sort of bold-and-determined fashion. In that sense, my articles, while from myself, and intended for myself, will also be intended for the hypothetical third viewer. This leads back to the earlier premise for the other article, which is quite simply how much self focus this third viewer would stand before he leaves (which lead to the complaint of narcissism). Because this blog has the intention of advising, similarly to a self-help blog of another caliber, it must not be overly self-focused, but with a key focus on the reader, and assisting in his problems. Simply put, instead of being internal memos to myself, they must be like scientific reports, from my own experience, discussing what solutions I have lea

What will I DO in this blog?

In Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, his philosophy can be distilled into the process of emotionally creating the white-hot heat of desire, and the process of putting that heat in the direction that it is best used, a plan for execution. Funnily enough, that can also be subordinated to desire, as you tell the subconscious, through the desire, to formulate the plan. It is then advised to do this, as the consciousness is less reliable than the subconscious connection with the 'infinite intelligence'. But relatively similarly, this blog serves as a journal. If its' intention is to "share my insights in the continuous journey of self-improvement", then what is the plan to do so? The current, new insights? Only ones after now? Every insight that I have ever had access to? In the name of consistent content, it would make sense to have this placed closer to the latter. (Previously, we discussed the usefulness of a desire for outside attention, it creating a gr
