dendron VS Trilium Notes

Dendron shut down a long time ago: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/3890 The repo is up, but the project is dead.

5. Dendron: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron; requires VSCode

As a programmer I liked Dendron the most but if you want it to be packed with absolute features, try Trilium Notes (but some considered it to be feature creep and bloated)

https://wiki.dendron.so for those that don’t know what I’m talking about…

https://wiki.dendron.so/ is a good alternative if you only want to write and organize in Markdown.

Thanks for prompting us about OpenProject. Seems well-featured and competitive replacement of JIRA but not Confluence.

For wiki, as Confluence is, I'd rather propose something like Dendron.so[1]

There's also a new player around: Dendron, that works as a plugin around VSCode/VSCodium... I found it way lighter than Obsidian on memory. https://wiki.dendron.so/

This is why we created Dendron - a note-taking tool that helps people organize and refactor their notes.

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
