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

Looks very interesting. Apparently it uses its own file format. This is a little bit of a problem, because it forces you to rely on this software to access your notes, even if an export to Markdown is possible. But often times these exports of large note databases are not tidy, they may be missing features/information that didn’t export well.

So i personally would only ever use a note taking app that is based on text files. This of course is harder to manage, but can be done, like VimWiki or Obsidian have shown.

Maybe if it could be extended for text file as basic storage, it could get a broader user base.

For me a serverless mobile app is breaking point for me.

On this topic… Why doesn’t anyone talk about Standard Notes? It’s free, E2E encrypted, has mobile apps, and supports Markdown (for a reasonable subscription fee). Kinda checks every box…

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?

Why is that? Could you elaborate further? you peaked my interest.
