Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I'd like to be able to use github.dev or vscode.dev to open my repo and take notes. Right now this is not possible because dendron cannot work in a virtual file system.

Support virtual file systems for better vscode web support.

Thanks @sbatten for the feature request.

Hey @sbatten , After version 0.109, Dendron supports codespaces! It has very limited functionality currently, but we are planning to extend them as per the usage patterns. Preview: https://www.loom.com/embed/c8e00408f4314174b3014879f243c9f4 Read more here

hi @Harshita-mindfire I've been playing around with this in vscode.dev. I'm happy to see the extension loading and some commands showing up. It seems some really useful commands are still not there yet, like "Create Daily Journal", also a few other issues I see are:

Incomplete note lookup results
errors when opening notes with note lookup (see below)
opening a non-dendron workspace with remote repositories extension still errors on desktop when opening

I'm a bit hesitant to open a new issue here, since it seems similar but this is not working at all for me - let me know if a new issue is preferred.

When I load github.dev with synced settings and Dendron enabled, code spaces tries to install the extension but then has a "problem with initialization".

I'm just starting to poke around codesoaces, so I'm not that familiar with the environment, but because of the init issue I don't have any Dendron commands so I can't attach a log using the built-on command, but if I can gather additional data let me know.

If I load my config in vscode.dev (or within the Blink Shell, FWIW) I don't get the error, but none of the Dendron commands are installed - the only Dendron-related command I see is Paste Image

EDIT:

Ok, I think the behavior I'm seeing in Blink and vscode.dev is probably expected, since I'm not (yet) opening a Dendron workspace. Perhaps I didn't see the init issue in vscode.dev because I'd already logged in and attempted to init the extension in github.dev?

The init problem data point seems worth reporting, though I'm not sure I can repro it.

EDIT 2:

I did open a Dendron workspace and encountered the same init issue. Oddly some Dendron commands are available in the command palette, but other essential commands are not, e.g.

and the Dendron sidebar doesn't recognize that I'm in a Dendron workspace
