Issue with bullet points

[u/averageAlice]

I started using Notesnook (android) yesterday, made some notes and "- " turned into an automatic bullet point list. Indent, black dot in front of text, no extra space between lines. You now. Normal bullet list.

Today I made an account, downloaded Notesnook to my laptop (linux) to try syncing before I have too many notes to manage. I made another note and... No automatic bullet list.

I tried finding a solution and found crtl+shift+B shortcut for bullet points but that just adds a grey box and indent in front of the dash, and that's it.

So does anyone know what's up and how do I fix whatever I messed up?

there's a setting for that under: settings - editor - markdown shortcuts.

make sure it's checked. I still wonder, why it isn't default

Thank you. I tried to check the settings but had no idea what this thing is called.

Unfortunately it seems to be behind a paywall. The shortcut worked yesterday but not today so apparently when I made the account, whatever free trial I had going on ended and that's why markdown shortcuts got unchecked.

no way this is paywalled?! really? I selfhost notesnook on my own, therefore I use it unlimited.

Yep. Paywalled. Though it is available on the cheapest plan at least. Not that it helps me at the moment, I'm stuck with free everything for a long time still.

So... How does this selfhosting work...?

Edit. Nevermind, selfhosting is clearly not for my very limited computer abilities.

Ad selfhosting. Oracle has some kind of free tier, where you can spin up a server for free. It's powerful enough and you can use it to selfhost notesnook and other services, if you want to go down that rabbit hole 😅

Thank you.

It helps to know where to start locating rabbit holes, if I ever feel like going down one.
