All of the links in square brackets for recommended extensions, recipes, etc, 404 when you click from the README.



The links work in GitHub Pages.

Hi! Foam author here. We generate markdown references to bridge [[wiki-link]]s to work with Markdown tools. For the time being this is optimised for a) the editing experience in VS Code and b) the GitHub pages publishing pipeline, so it's more convenient to generate markdown links without the `.md` suffix.

See bottom of the file here for example: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foambubble/foam/master/rea...

This means that for the time being links are broken in the GitHub markdown preview.

I'll look into getting this fixed, but not sure what the best way forward is.


I think the problem is that you're including these links in the README. New visitors expect all the links there to work, but they are broken.

If the README only included basic information and a link to the github pages, it would be easier to follow.

P.S. since I'm already typing, have you considered supporting semantic links, in addition to the regular ones? It will make the relationships between the pages clearer at a glance, and allow for better automation in the future. It might also help in visualization, for example you could toggle only specific relationships, to get a simpler graph of the information you care about.
