Djot is a light markup syntax. It derives most of its features from commonmark, but it fixes a few things that make commonmark's syntax complex and difficult to parse efficiently. It is also much fuller-featured than commonmark, with support for definition lists, footnotes, tables, several new kinds of inline formatting (insert, delete, highlight, superscript, subscript), math, smart punctuation, attributes that can be applied to any element, and generic containers for block-level, inline-level, and raw content. The project began as an attempt to implement some of the ideas I suggested in Beyond Markdown.

Foam is a personal knowledge management and sharing system inspired by Roam Research, built on Visual Studio Code and GitHub. Foam uses standard Markdown, with a few added twists:
- the title of a note (e.g. in the Graph Visualization) is given by precedence based on:
- the title property (see Note Properties)
- the first # heading 1 of the file
- the file name

Bullet Journal syntax highlighting in VS Code Markdown files. BuJo goes beyond syntax highlighting and taps into time tracking and time blocking methodologies (e.g., Newport, 2016). To this end, BuJo proposes commands and keybindings to effortlessly update task statuses, plan working days, and track the time spent on tasks.
- [ ] Represents a task.
- [x] Represents a completed task.
- [>] Represents a task migrated forward.
- [<] Represents a task migrated backward.
- [/] Represents a task in progress.
- [-] Represents a dropped task.
- [o] Represents an event.
- Represents a note. Nothing special about it.
Text files to help plan & log whatever it is you do. Bullet journal + pomodoro technique + text editors + cloud syncing = progress.

For managing todos, I use bullet journal. Bullet Journalling has become quite a fad lately, with frothing-at-the-mouth reviews like “It will make you a better person!” How can you argue with that simple, artistically drawn ven diagram where it lies at the center of “Why” and “What”?
