This seems like a solid choice for those of use looking for a obsidian-like replacement. Personally tried all editors out there, but nothing is able to defeat my love for obsidian. However, i look forwards to trying out Haptic when it comes to Linux. Currently it only supports Web and Mac. But state Linux and Windows support is on-the-way.
Kudos to selfh.st that provides consistent updates within this community and who shared this among other cool projects this week -> https://selfh.st/newsletter/2024-09-06/?ref=this-week-in-self-hosted-newsletter
I didn’t like obsidian’s lacking in attributes structuring/typing and the fact that it cannot serve over a web UI (for wherever you cannot install the heavy client or just to share notes via URL), and found trilium notes to be doing that perfectly, and much much more. Highly recommend.
My dream is something that can take a stack of markdown files with relative links and generate a static site from them. This is embarrassingly difficult. Right now I think that the GitHub Pages Ruby Gem is the best way but it has too many assumptions about being in a GitHub repository to work. Vanilla Jekyll is nice but I don’t want to deal with a bunch of configs to get the experience I want.
I do this with https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ + a basic Makefile and config file to make it a bit nicer. I will publish my template a bit later and report back.
It would be extremely barebones, but you can do something like this with Pandoc.
I think I looked into this before and it lacked a feature, but I don’t remember what it was. I might be getting it mixed up with another tool. There were a lot of tools that almost worked but were focused on making books with ordered pages rather than a tree. I think gitbook was one.
For folks interested in following in my footsteps, eleventy didn’t fit because it couldn’t convert relative links to markdown files to relative HTML links to the HTML files (out of the box, probably possible with plugins).
This just feels like such an obvious thing there would be a tool for but I can’t find one. Even most editors that render Markdown as a preview can do this out of the box.
Super interesting, I have my fingers crossed for this one.
Probably gonna give it a go in two-three weeks ;-)
As soon as one of these Obsidian alternatives has real-time collaboration and a mobile interface, I’m ready to switch.
The real power of obsidian is similar to why Raspberry Pi is so popular, it has such a large community that plugins are amazing and hard to duplicate.
That being said, I use this to live sync between all my devices. It works with almost the same latency as google docs but its not meant for multiple people editing the same file at the same time
Yeah, I need something to collaborate with my partner in realtime. We’ve got a hacky setup in Obsidian using dataview to join separate notes to a read-only one, so we don’t have collisions, but I would love something better.
This looks cool, but can’t beat Joplin. Accessing securely my notes on multiple devices I synced on my Nextcloud is priceless.
