 To the Minimal Mistakes theme, I've added [Bigfoot.js](http://www.bigfootjs.com/) for the fancy pop-up footnotes, [Reveal.js](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/) for a splendid presentation alternative to PowerPoint or Keynote, [FontAwesome](http://fontawesome.io) for most of the icons, and James Walsh's [Academicons](http://jpswalsh.github.io/academicons/) to supplement Font Awesome with the Open Access lock, Academia-dot-edu, Orcid, and Zotero icons.  
 
+I've also added (and minimally customized) Maxime Vaillancourt's [Bidirectional links generator](https://github.com/maximevaillancourt/digital-garden-jekyll-template/blob/main/_plugins/bidirectional_links_generator.rb) to make bidirectional links work in my [Notes/Digital Garden]({% link _notes/index.html %}).

 For keeping my mental lines of flight somewhat directed, I use text files that blend blend Ryder Carroll's "Rapid Logging" [Bullet Journal](http://www.bulletjournal.com/) system with aspects of Francesco Cirillo's [Pomodoro Technique](https://web.archive.org/web/20090306080717/http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/resources/cirillo/ThePomodoroTechnique_v1-3.pdf).

 It's not a fully-featured project management system with active reminders, of course. For that I've used [OmniFocus](https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus) in the past, but currently do this mostly through a combination of text notes, calendar reminders, and regular reviews of my notes.  
 
 ### Notekeeping & Text Editor Programs  
 
+[Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) has largely replaced [Dendron]({% link _notes/Note-taking/Dendron/index.html %}) as my notes app, due almost exclusively to the amazing [Tasks plugin](https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction).  
+
 [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) has been my text and code editor of choice since about 2020, when I switched over from [Atom](https://atom.io). VS Code doesn't cost any money, and you can customize it with themes and extensions galore, in addition to customizing your settings.  
 
+<!-- 
 [Dendron](https://www.dendron.so/), a VS Code extension for taking structured notes, was the reason I switched to VS Code. It stores your notes wherever you want, understands Markdown formatting, and is both free of cost and open source. Furthermore, it's built for scale, with features like hierarchical note structure, templates, and renaming or restructuring batches of notes at a time.  
 
 [BuJo](https://bujo.mihaiconstantin.com/), another VS Code extension, offers a convenient way of using the [Bullet Journal](http://www.bulletjournal.com/) conventions for tasks. You can customize these as well.  
+-->
 
 [Daybreak](https://daybreaktheme.com/) has become the theme I like using wherever I can. It's dark and warm, and it provides syntax-based color changes for relevant parts of Markdown, HTML, CSS, and the few other languages I dabble in. (More specifically, I use either the Daybreak Italic or Daybreak Bold variants most of the time.) Daybreak is a variant of [Horizon](https://horizontheme.netlify.app/), which unfortunately doesn't have an official theme extension for VS Code anymore as of mid-2022.
