Super excited to see Markdown support on Android land in NeuraCache! Thank you so much for working on this.

In trying it out, I’ve discovered this doesn’t currently seem to be working with local files, unfortunately (I sync my Obsidian folder to my phone’s local storage using syncthing).

Selecting Import Markdown Folder (or file) and selecting the obsidian folder root throws a Could not find #flashcard or #spaced blocks error.

It took me quite a while to figure out this wasn’t due to invalid content in the Markdown files, but rather a problem with local storage specifically. Putting the same files on Google drive storage and selecting it from there using Import Markdown Folder works flawlessly.

(Might this be as easy as making the app request permissions to access storage? I notice it didn’t, but my understanding of Android permissions is that it will need to request this permission to access files there)

If you manage to resolve this issue so that I can use NeuraCache with the content in local storage, you’ll definitely have another Premium subscriber though.

(Also happy to help test/debug further if you need more info)

Hey @zoni
Thanks for your feedback and encouragement!
Another user reported the very same thing. As far as I tested, this should be working outside Google Drive as well. I’m taking a few days off now but will be back next week fixing this. Would you be so kind as to send me an email for better communication?
Best.

Definitely. I wasn’t sure which medium you’d prefer for a report like this. I’ll shoot you an email now, but enjoy your rest first! :slight_smile:

Hello. Thank you so much for your work. How can I transfer this program from one device to another without losing progress? And is there a web or desktop version planned? Once again, thank you so much!

Thanks!
At the moment there is no way of syncing your progress data. I am working on a backup/export/import feature via Google Drive / iCloud that will make this possible :+1:

Hello. Great app in conjunction with obsidian. It lacks the ability to write formulas for a full transition. Do you plan to add this feature?

yes :+1:

I just saw this video, then was coming here to share this, and found this thread from awhile back. This tool looks very cool!

@IdeaRoots I was playing around with this today, and I have a little bit of feedback about the formatting. The three dashes --- are used in markdown to indicate headings. I’ve tried to add a new line between my question and the three dashes, but then the question is not recognized.

Images with spaces in the file name are also not recognized unfortunately.

Is Dropbox supported? I’m using Dropbox and 1Writer to sync my notes between Linux and iOS, but couldn’t get NeuraCache to find my notes. As an alternative, I was able to use the share menu from 1Writer to send one note at a time to NeuraCache, but that’s rather slow.

Hey @argentum thanks for your feedback!

Would it be possible for you to send a sample of .md file that shows the issues? (Will be able to debug this much faster)

I think that is only the case if there is a line break between text and the dashes, see https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#alternate-syntax
You can probably notice it preview mode a little better (Ctrl + e).

The markdown files didn’t have anything especial, I pretty much was trying out what you showed in your video. The only difference for me was having an extra blank line between the three dashes. This one wasn’t added:

Test? #flashcard #tests
Here is the answer

This one was

Test? #flashcard #tests
Here is the answer
---

This is good to hear!

ah :man_facepalming: forgot about that.
You can also use *** or - - - for the same result (no heading then)

Let me know if I can help with dropbox and images. Ideally with an .md sample via email :+1:

Thanks for the answer! I’ll definitely try with the alternatives!

I’ll probably will wait till Dropbox comes to iOS to test it all together, and I’ll send an email in case it doesn’t work.

I’m wrapping up folder sync for iOS. ETA = next week

This will allow you to point NeuraCache to the Obsidian vault root on your phone.
The sync will be happening then automatically in the background (assuming you are syncing your files via iCloud, etc. to your phone).

Will be exploring more ways for Android and iOS (via Google Drive, etc.)

:heart_eyes: thank you so much for your efforts on neuracache!!!

for some reason, this doesn’t work for me. I can’t upload my images to Neuracache at all. They get automatically reformatted into this in Obsidian. I would truly appreciate a workaround

I’ve been using Microsoft Outlook for storage - having serious issues. Would it help to switch over to Google HD?
