    this is really really well designed in comparison to apps like obsidian, since the standard design is actually very readable and actually makes you want to write stuff. i think this could replace my current zettler setup in writing papers when you could map hotkeys to most stuff, and it would have a zotero integration in some way. lovely project!

      Thank you! I haven't really used zotero, but I feel you can integrate it using url schemes? I have a PR up that opens up `octarine://` url scheme to allow creating notes/folders (it was built for the webclipper repo).

      Currently keymaps aren't modifiable, but there's an item on the roadmap to change hotkeys.

        I don't have much clue about integration of such features as well unfortunately. Another thing I just realized though is, when you press CTRL+Z it will always open the "Recently Viewed" tab, I think that hotkey combination gotta be changed :D

          Are you by any chance on a german keyboard? or a different keyboard layout?

          I've had a report before where they keyboard layout messes up, for Z & Y. `Cmd + Y` is Recently viewed while `Z` does undo

      I fought the urge to try anything else other than https://Dendron.so The wait is over. Seems like the perfect replacement, it checks all the boxes: "Lightweight, Opinionated, Yours".

      I predict you HUGE success!

      Thanks for your work.

        Thank you!

        Lot's of things planned while aiming to keep the lightweight and opionionated philosophy!

        This is amazing, and truly impressive.

        What's the best place to submit issues, feature requests, etc?

        Something I use on Obsidian is my own CSS as a theme (to override default editor styling). I see themes is a feature of Octarine. Will users be allowed to set their own CSS as a "custom theme"?

          Either:

          1. Discord (https://octarine.app/discord)

          2. Github (http://octarine.app/issues)

          Currently the app supports 33 themes (3 free, 30 on the pro license). There's an item on the roadmap that would allow you to create your own themes (each theme is a palette of 10-12 variables - border/bg/text/outline)

          Hope you like the app :)
