OneNoteExporterAkaPublisher VS Trilium Notes

A while ago I wrote a OneNote to whatever exporter (https://github.com/projectje/OneNoteExporterAkaPublisher), this can publish e.g. onenote to a md directory e.g. to be used in Obsidian.

I scripted some stuff like mass export ( https://github.com/projectje/OneNoteExporterAkaPublisher ) but did use the com api.

Adjust this powershell script: https://github.com/projectje/OneNoteExporterAkaPublisher to only export the Tags of type To Do or whatever is called.

When you have a family. A wife who barely knows how to create bookmarks in a browser and kids who only use their phone you need something extremely simple.

So you need to " scale " from 1 person to a household and take into account that all information you put in there, financials, recipes, addresses, etc. etc.. need to be ubersimple, working on a phone, auto sync etc... and need to continue working even when something would happens to yourself.

So that is why i standardized the knowledge management system in our household on OneNote (2016 client for the laptop).

This is because everyone understands office.

The API both the COM and the graph API also lets you create , update, read, etc... so you can write basically everything you can think of e.g. auto put bank transaction on the correct place in the correct table in the correct place in the taxonomy.

Thinking about the structure of a family and everything in there is also interesting and I had some larger revisions on that.

Restructured a fork https://github.com/projectje/OneNoteExporterAkaPublisher still lots of #todos

Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm.

Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issues with plugin maintainers abandoning plugins you rely on, or needing to make a decision between three different plugins that all do the same thing slightly different. Depending on your use case and expectations that may not be a big deal, but I really missed not having what I personally saw as core features not being officially supported.

(Also, FWIW, the sync service is a bit pricy for what it is. I get that it's how they're trying to monetise it, but...I would have preferred another pricing model, even if the total cost was just as high.)

I've personally switched to Trilium Notes which I'm finding nicer. One element I particularly like is that it has first class suport for notes being able to exist at multiple places in a tree simultaneously. I know it's a very personal thing, but for me personally being able to file notes in multiple locations "clicks" in a way that tags didn't.

A nice writeup on ways to use Trilium (although much of it applies to Obsidian too): https://github.com/zadam/trilium/wiki/Patterns-of-personal-k...

Then you come across Trilium and drop the mic

I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases.

Try outline or trillium
