for clarification, the the use case: for files like images and videos, I might not want to keep them in my local folder but have them available via a CDN. a CDN makes it so that I can access those files anywhere (we can also make it private by adding a auth proxy with token authentication). Dendron's local first principle means that we still want to provide a local option. So when we access files from the CDN, dendron should also cache a copy locally. As a simplication, if the file is located remotely, we can avoid hardcoding a local url and generate the url automatically via convention (eg. That way, the proxy might look like this remote: true
url: cloudfront.com/1234.jpg
# local url is generated automatically |

We should also consider auto detecting the common file extensions if MIME type is not specified. js->javascript ts->typescript etc... |

For images and video files that come with standard metadata, might it be possible to populate proxy notes with relevant content, for example at the

Will proxy notes have one-to-one relationship with non-note files? I would love to have a way to create draft compositions and aggregations of arbitrary files, notes and not, for creative development. A pin board is a useful metaphor, or sticky notes. Note sure if a proxy note with multiple non-note files in it might be a vehicle for this. |

I think if we do decide to do proxy notes, we should have it be a part of the note trait system. |

I am not a professional developer, but can usually read and understand code from others. My talents are as a software architect, software tester, and overall technology consultant. As such, I do not see myself authoring the original file but adding important comments back to the author. How can I best get involved to understand this better and contribute? |

Is there any code to examine or test? I just cloned the dendron repo so I think I am ready. |
