  Well I have for the last two years, but I’m biased because I wrote it 🤓

    I’d be curious to see comparison with Logseq. As it’s rightly mentioned, there are thousands of note taking apps and I’m not quite sure I see the selling point of SB. I really love the idea of notes as a database, but the query langauage seems subpar, more akin to obsidian’s dataview than the overwhelming power of tiddlywiki’s filters or Logseq’s queries.

    I went from evernote to tiddlywiki to Obsidian to Logseq and somewhat stuck here now because I got the powerful queries in a very neat UI. With the market oversaturated as it is, I’d be nice to see what Silverbullet brings to the game that others don’t, what are the distinguishing features.

      While I cannot give you an in depth comparison, I’m sure there’s a lot of overlap in functionality. Where I think things are heading in a relatively novel direction is with the recent improvements I’ve been making to templates. While long, this video gives a reasonable sense of what that can do and I’d say it’s early days: youtu.be/ZiM1RM0DCgo?si=qL795lyKNe9HwoxI

  Yes, I have used it for many months. It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, …), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions

  I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet

  My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful

  I use it and love it. Having the metadata (tags, dates, …) of your pages available to query and organize is awesome. I also love the tagged tasks feature.

  Yes, I do and it’s great. I just wrote a template for cooking recipes.

  i’m using it at work to take notes and write documentation.

  i think it’s a fantastic app.

  i have it as a pwa and have at least one silverbullet for each desktop.

  i have ~100 notes perfectly organized in silverbullet!

  I’m using it! I’ve been using it to track various household things and it’s worked great so far!
