This looks like it could be an open source alternative to obsidian.md. Would anyone be able to speak to that?

It is. The differece is that Silverbullet is self-hosted and not in app like Obsidian. The basics are the same, Obsidian has a way bigger community and more plugins, Silverbullet is easier to extend due to using Lua. Lastly, Silverbullet has queries built in, in Obsidian you have to use Dataview. If you need a markdown-based note storing system Silverbullet is great. Obsidian has more bling and customizability, but is not self-hostable.

Obsidian now has a native query ability via the Bases core plugin. I’ve barely played with it though.

I’m curious how it compared with trilium

That website scrolls funny on my Firefox mobile. Is that a sample of what to expect from the actual software?

Looks fine to me (Firefox 142.0.1 on GrapheneOS 2025081400 on a Pixel 8).

I like what I am hearing. I was a big fan in the beginning, but it developed to add more and more features and some breaking changes, and I decided to stop using it until the bleeding edge development slows down
What is the outlook regarding breaking changes in v2? Should I wait a bit?

Bunch of ideas in this thread. Does anyone know of a good solution for reading text files (markdown) in a folder? I tried flat notes (too bare bones), An Otter Wiki (it was fine, but I couldn’t get into it).

Obsidian does that. But I don’t believe it’s FOSS

Trying out tyoemill. Seems ok so far.

VSCode with Foam. Or go old school with Vim Wiki.

Eww lua. Pass. Everything else looks nice.

What’s wrong with Lua in your opinion ?
victorz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
People seem to like lua. I have never used it, curious to know what people like and dislike.

That’s awesome. I need to migrate off of Google Keep. It’s the last Google service I use.

If all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.

If it’s not self hosted, I’m afraid I don’t want to use it. It looks nice, though.

Are there any apps that have similar UI to Keep? I really like the tiled notes as opposed to a simple list

What about maps? I can’t seem to replace it.

for my car and motorcycle, I have an older TomTom dedicated GPS that still gets updates and has routed me better than Google maps in the past. it doesn’t require a subscription, though some newer ones do. I think I can update it with open street maps if the worst happens.
I use Organic Maps on my phone, which uses open street maps. It works pretty well but I often need the actual address for a location as opposed to the business name or search won’t work.
I’m a Kagi subscriber so I try to use Kagi Maps in the rare instance that I’m looking things up on my computer. It is a bit more limited.

I don’t know. I use Apple Maps. Probably not any better privacy wise, but I don’t know what is better that has similar features. I’ve tried Magic Earth and CoMaps, and they’re both promising, just not at the level that I’d be willing to switch to.
