Hi @bybor,
Thanks for taking a look at the plugin and wiki.vim
fork. For the features you mentioned:
- Saving buffer on navigation: this feature has actually already been merged into the original project. Check out the
g:wiki_write_on_nav
option in the documentation. - Link navigation transformations: as far as I'm aware the original plugin cannot do this, so your suggestion is a good one. I'll try to write up a PR soon and see about adding custom link nav transformations to the option set.
- Optimized backlinks search: this is the primary goal of Vim-roam. I'm currently reworking the backlink system for the plugin and it'll be mostly separate from the
wiki.vim
implementation, so merging it will likely not match either project scope. In fact at some pointvim-roam
may be entirely independent ofwiki.vim
; the backlink processing can be mostly separated from the outer wiki environment.
Hope that helps! I'll update this issue if/when I get those link transformations merged into the original repo.

Thank you very much for your answer, I appreciate it!
It all makes sense. At some point i thought that it could be possible to use sqlite
to index backlinks. Extra dependency is bad, but it's cross-platform and could improve performance. It could also be easily "fetched" as text and updated in a similar manner.
May be one could treat backlinks as a special kind of tags, which is a more universal way of doing it. Since tag
can point to a specific location in file it would mimic "link to any block" feature available in Roam Research (AFAIK, have never used).
It will be great if you find it possible to not enforce markdown
format, but make vim-roam
format-agnostic. But it will be great to see vim-roam
growing in the first place. :)
Thank you

Hey @bybor, finally got around to pushing out an update. Some of the new details in the README on link transformations might be of interest based on your original questions.

I agree, although I think the plugin will depend on Pandoc's commonmark
parser for the foreseeable future. Commonmark is very general, though, and Vim-roam only currently extracts file components like lists and paragraphs. There's a lot of overlap there with other wiki formats so I expect the hard Markdown requirement could be lifted.

sqlite
is an interesting direction to consider. Right now the main bottleneck is Pandoc parsing, so I don't imagine performance would be too different from the current Python dictionary cache approach+pickling.
Thanks for your feedback! Hopefully the repo is a little more navigable now.
