I mean Trilium is fantastic app, lots of potential but the developer is struggling on his own, maybe it’s because it’s younger than logseq or maybe because is open source compared to obsidian. I think it’s the best note-taking/knowledge-base/second-brain i know it virtually could link everything you posses toghter to create a gigantic wiki, so much potential. Plus it has its own self hostable syncing server and web app. Guys give it a look and tell me what you think
I’d want to love it…
but as ridiculous as it sounds, for something like this to be really useful to me I unfortunately need a mobile app. a web-app seems hard to realize for a real e2e encryption & sync - for my scenario :(
I’m aware how much effort this is already… it looks good but as much as I want to use it, I can’t due to my workflow requiring a mobile device app (iOS in my case)
but it does look really promising!
It looks like it’s built with Electron which should run natively on mobile. Porting it as a mobile app wouldn’t be very difficult.
Edit: Upon further investigation, it actually has a built-in mobile frontend. You’d just have to run an instance on a server and access it from your mobile device.
I’ve had a look at it before but I just prefer Markdown and I’m already heavily invested with a different application so really wouldn’t want to move. There are some features I really like, for example the “clone notes” I think is a really interesting feature that essentially creates a note “symlink”.
How is this better than zim? Is this in the Debian repos?
I can’t compare, I never used Zim, sorry. If I remember correctly it is, I personally got it with flatpack.
Ah, if it’s only available on flatpaks, that’s why few people know about it.
Flatpak is a very insecure method to download software BTW, you probably should avoid it
Edit: It’s curious that I’m getting downvoted for stating a fact. It seems a lot of flatpak users don’t understand security. But that’s kinda the point: even the flatpak developers don’t understand the difference between integrity and authenticity
Flatpak currently does not provide authenticity, and one developer made it clear that he doesn’t understand why that matters in the above ticket that requested signatures of packages back in 2016. It’s been 7 years and still they haven’t fixed this. I don’t think the flatpak team understands or cares about security.
Flatpaks aren’t any less secure than any other installation option, where did you get that idea from?
I don’t think it is, I remember something like rpm, but im really new to Linux.
Why is that? Could you elaborate further? you peaked my interest.
Yeah, looks pretty cool, I’ll probably check it out
I really can’t tell - does it work on top of Markdown flat files or not? Based on the mention of an exporter, I’d guess not.
Part of the reason I moved from TiddlyWiki to Obsidian was to get my writing into plain text files, so anything that doesn’t interface with the OS file system is off the table for me from the get-go. (Part of the reason I care about this is so that I’m not locked into a specific app and can use VS Code to browse and edit as needed, or build a static site from my files, etc.)
Unfortunately no for now, it uses a database that renders it more powerful but can import and export markdown effortlessly. Editing directly in markdown should be a feature tho for those who want to use file systems
