more about info cards
reference: Tabemono – Reboot (2001)
- i think there’s something kinda elegant about them, though, right? it looks a bit more put-together than the info sections that i was using before, but it’s also doing a lot more to display text that was summarized effectively enough as a plain markdown list
- which also means it’s a good deal chunkier too
- i edited the year display to be a Released section, which can either pull from the
yearproperty or, if available, fromreleaseDate - maybe over the years, and especially since the org-roam days, i’ve become less and less interested in making sure that my notes remain fully usable as plaintext. maybe part of the paradigm shift came about after realizing that there are just too many notes here now for them all to be easily retrievable without some querying system, and once that threshold had been crossed it just made me think of all the other ways these notes could be treated as an ersatz database
- perhaps, as a consequence, i’m now wondering if making my notes easily database-able is another way of ensuring their preservation. i’d have to write the parsing and display code each time, but once that’s done the connections would reestablish themselves
- i also like the idea that, by separating content from display, i can then choose how i want the info to be presented. if i want to move the art to the side i can just write some css for it, and same with enabling text wrapping for these fields (which i really should do… and am surprised it’s not already an option)
- oh you fool… you don’t know what you’re in for…
