This is a proposal for a feature that creates a page of all your markdown notes, so that people navigating your Foam site will be able to locate pages that would be otherwise orphaned.
do I understand correctly that this is an index page for all your notes?
Yes, that's what we have in mind. It's difficult to find a lot of notes (for browsers of our site) since many are orphans (since wiki is still relatively new) and others might be hidden more deeply.
I'd like to make a request maybe for a v2 of this feature: allow the user to specify some sort of filter. In my case, I would find value in indexing most of my notes but indexing all of my daily notes would just create a lot of noise.
Small extra request for a maybe v3...could you sort by 'weight'? Put things with most links to/from at the top and descend?
I have a burning hatred of sites like Paul Graham's which have amazing content but force me to go through them in random, arbitrary inefficient order
Pretty easy to just write a script for this and run it prepush or something, I initially did just that when I started my repo, but found that it rendered the graph much less useful with hundreds of useless edges that don't represent conceptual connections. In order for a master index to be useful it'd be nice to be able to tell the graph to ignore specific files, in a foam config file or something.
I might take a crack at this actually, nice easy entry issue 馃憣
