beubo VS Joplin

I'm working on https://github.com/uberswe/beubo - It's a CMS similar to Wordpress but written in Go. It's still very early and it has a lot of bugs but what will make it powerful is plugins and themes. Performance is the biggest difference between Wordpress, plugins will most likely use RPC/gRPC which means they could be written in any language.

I'm mostly writing it for use with my own projects like https://tournify.io but it would be awesome if a few others found it useful too. It's a nice way for me to practice my Go programming skills.

A CMS written in Go. It’s still very early and it has the basics of user creation, multiple domain support, themes and user management by default. What will make it really powerful is plugins.

Plugins are still being developed and currently use the go plugin package which is really good for performance but can be bad for security and compatibility with versions and operating systems. I plan to either move over to using RPC instead or supporting both options.

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
