We're rolling out direct integration with google docs from inside of Dendron. we have used this extensively, internally, and are now looking for external beta testers before rolling it out generally. If interested, please fill out the survey to get access to the beta, as we'll need to whitelist your gmail account with our Google App API.
Dendron Reading Series
This week's entry in the Dendron Reading Series:
I found that the best way for me to learn something is by applying it. While I can't always find a direct application to everything I'm interested in (eg. subatomic particles are cool but I have no access to a particle accelerators), I can take good notes and try to teach my future self about what I learned.
Learning in public takes this up a level - even if no one else uses the notes but me, by putting it out to the public, it forces me to have more coherent notes and clarify my own thinking.
- TIP: we started a Today I Learned channel in Discord as a place where Dendronites can share their learnings. If you haven't already, check it out and tell us what you're learning about
