Web based markdown gui

Submitted ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Shimitar@feddit.it⁩ to ⁨selfhosted@lemmy.world⁩

I am setting up my notes approach which is using dedicated apps on my devices plus syncthing.

I tried lots of tools like Joplin obsidian etc but are too overkill or had something I don’t like.

So I am using markor on android and another dedicated app on Linux and so on.

I would like to add also a web app to edit the MD files directly on my server when I don’t have any way to install syncthing or an editor app.

The web GUI would need to list the MD files local on the server and let me edit/view/save them. Upload and download is not required as I already have that setup via filebrowser.

Any hints?

  This looks amazing. I’m already using obsidian but if I’d found this first I probably would have started here.

    You should be able to download via flathub too. It is self contained software but you can write to a Google or Dropbox directory and let that synch the files. I’m really a fan of logseq as well.

I don’t know any lightweight options, but as VS-Code was suggested, I’d like to suggest Hedgedoc too.

  Yeah, looks interesting but way too overkill i guess?

Maybe look into silverbullet?

  Yes! ended up using silverbullet.md. Just amazing.

  Silverbullet looks pretty easy to set up. Can you change the font and such it uses?

    Yes.

Maybe not the best option, but can you use FileBrowser for that as well?

source
- Shimitar@feddit.it ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago
  Cool! I didn’t noticed you could edit files from within it, but yes, that’s a cool option as well. Silverbullet.md turned out to be more interesting though, so i have self hosted it too.

How about using code-server and pointing it to your markdown folder? While it’s a code editor, it also has built-in markdown preview.

Nextcloud notes

  Nah, moving away from NextCloud, it worked fine, but again overkill only for this

    Then just use syncthing

You could try code-server? I use it daily to edit my markdown files.

  Well, while much interesting indeed, i am not ready to install VSCode itself just for notes. I would prefer not to have the option to edit them online then.
