I'm interested in this bit:

> ...lets me write codeblocks in my notes and turns my note taking system into a literate programming environment. So I have for example a self-written plugin that applies transformations to existing pages to incorporate the sort of question templates suggested in books like How To Solve It or on websites like untools.

Do you have any posts or additional information on this in particular?




Depending on which particular subject you are interested in:

- The plugin:

https://wielder.victor.earth/Welcome shows the sort of things you can build with Wielder. The github repository for the library is here https://github.com/victorb/obsidian-wielder

- How To Solve it

The key ideas behind How To Solve It are that for a lot of our challenges there are strategies we can use to tackle them effectively. How To Solve It expounds on how to go about understanding a problem, understanding the connection of the data you have with what you don't know, how to make problems more tractable, carrying out a plan, and evaluating the results.

- Untools

A site dedicated to listing various strategies for thinking, communicating and prioritization; they sell templates similar in nature to what I'm building, but I depart sharply from them in my desired document representation choice for templates - Zettlekastian graph continuations for me versus linear documents for them.

- My own tool

This is currently private and not yet ready for public consumption. I have a whole lot of philosophical backing for what I'm trying to build but it is still very far from generating utility at the level I want it too. Later today I'll see about moving some private notes into a blog post going into more depth about what I'm building and why.
