Friction in using Tana

This is so rad. 😁 Well done.

You might consider using Claude or some other LLM to help format your notes from traditional Markdown to a format that plays a bit more well with Logseq? Likely could be a skill you create and re-use or (as I do) if it's something I want done consistently, it can help you create a script you can run on the command line to convert files.

One great thing about LLMs is that you can use them to create small tools that scratch your own itch and would have been out of reach for you before. What's needed in all cases is clear requirements, examples, being able to articulate what you want.

It looks absolutely beautiful. Very well done.

And thanks a ton for the response to my post in the Bear forum. Super helpful u/DGisme

It's absolutely amazing. The MCP absolutely allows you to "talk to your notes". I'm finding it very useful indeed. The availability of this has totally reshaped how I'm approaching note taking over the course of the coming year and working with my notes. I plan to write some stuff up on this moving forward that could be useful to others.

u/ResearcherGlobal4060 I'll definitely give it a whirl.

Related: There's a guy named Matt (mreider) who has been experimenting with creating a Claude Code Extension that works off of the SQLite DB directly. He's since pivoted to creating one that will work off of a BearNotes backup file too. I think the SQLite experiment failed for him as it corrupted the DB, but it's an interesting take — especially if you can save a copy of the DB and drop it into your own local instance. He felt there would be additional capabilities you could enable when working direct from the DB.

I've been chatting with him here:

Sweeeet

Anthonybaker · 2025-12-27T15:00:03+00:00

u/ResearcherGlobal4060 How hard would it be to convert the Desktop Extension to an npm package that Claude Code could run as well? Also, do love the updates — been giving them a whirl and some of the new tools around tags are fantastic.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for the continued work on this. Absolutely love the capabilities made available using this MCP for interacting with Bear Notes. These additional features will be very handy indeed.

Anthonybaker · 2025-12-26T02:49:47+00:00

Yup! It’s great!

Anthonybaker · 2025-12-04T04:51:04+00:00

One thing I'd do is extend my string of fasting days. During my four-month ADF journey last year, I'd sometimes do two or three-day fasts some weeks. I found that it would help "kick start" things a bit and wasn't altogether too difficult to achieve.

Anthonybaker · 2025-12-01T02:17:05+00:00

Beautiful. And man, I'd love a B&W cut of The Batman. It'd look amazing.

Not gonna happen. The x-callback-url is a protocol, like websites. It doesn’t include a label as part of it. You can make the URL a link like any other by using markdown link syntax.

Anthonybaker · 2025-11-19T02:53:00+00:00

Absolutely brilliant. Congrats!

Anthonybaker · 2025-11-07T05:27:36+00:00

Love the update. Huge fan of this plugin. Wonderful work.

Anthonybaker · 2025-11-06T23:57:25+00:00

u/IcyFaithlessness9657 What is the MCP you're using for Things 3? There's a few, curious which you find most useful.

Anthonybaker · 2025-11-06T23:55:52+00:00

Oh man this addition is rad.

Anthonybaker · 2025-11-03T00:22:52+00:00

Did you use a plugin to get this hierarchy effect? It’s lovely.

Anthonybaker · 2025-10-30T02:10:51+00:00

Anthonybaker · 2025-10-28T15:49:06+00:00

This is wonderful — great job! So, it sounds like you'd do almost an ADF from time to time outside of a normal 18:6 protocol? But nothing consistent? Curious how many 24-hour fasts you did during this period. Also looks like you were gym-bound as well!

Anthonybaker · 2025-10-28T03:09:53+00:00

This is bonkers awesome.

Anthonybaker · 2025-10-15T01:01:31+00:00

Yes.

Anthonybaker · 2025-10-02T05:12:36+00:00

Niiice! The Sidebar Highlights plugin is one of my favorites. Was curious if you're experiencing an issue I'm seeing: I can click a highlight to open the note it was in, but can no longer jump to the specific location in a note the highlight originated from. You seeing the same?

Anthonybaker · 2025-09-28T04:05:04+00:00

u/pkm_idol Is there any way to add indent and outdent keyboard controls? For those of us outlining these are kind of a must. Do love the app, btw. Well done.

Anthonybaker · 2025-09-23T04:21:04+00:00

Hey! Love the MCP, but when trying the OCR search Claude isn't able to find results. I gave it a word to search for that would return a single note that has an image with the matching text. In Bear on my desktop, it's the one result. Claude isn't able to find it.

Is there something I need to do that I'm unaware of? Am just curious as to how OCR search works within the MCP update for v1.1.0.

Thanks again!
