Summary

Dendron now is available in VSCode on the Web for a subset of features.

The easiest way to try out Dendron on the web is to navigate to your Dendron repository in Github, and press '.' - this will launch github.dev (which is a Github hosted instance of VSCode on the web). You can then install Dendron through the extensions tab just like you would in desktop VS Code and you should be good to go!

This makes it very easy to share your notes with someone without needing them to download VS Code themselves. They can also contribute to your notes from within the browser!

Note, this is a #stage.germ feature. The supported commands and features may have limited functionality.

Features

NOTE: Dendron on the web is limited to just a few features right now, but we are working on bringing more of the full Dendron capabilities to the web:

Summary

The Dendron Preview gives you a rich HTML preview for your notes.

NOTE: some capabilities like note references are currently not supported

Quickstart

  1. Open a Dendron repository in Github, such as https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-site.
  2. Press the . button on your keyboard while you have the Github page open in your browser. This will launch you to https://github.dev/dendronhq/dendron-site
  3. Install Dendron for your browser VS Code if you haven't done so before.
  4. After Dendron finishes installing, try running lookup. Keyboard shortcuts will still work in the browser.

FAQ

  1. Can you pin a particular note's preview, and open a different preview pane for any notes opened thereafter?
  • We do not support it at the moment. However, as a temporary workaround, if the daily journal does not have too much Dendron-specific Markdown, you can use the built-in VS Code Markdown Preview in addition to Dendron's own preview.
