Ask HN: How Do You Utilize Your Personal Knowledge Base?
I started using Foam[0] a few years ago, but the more I used it, the more I dropped all the tedious bits, and it became nothing more than a big, evolving markdown repo.
When I switched from vscode (back) to vim, it has worked as well or better than it did before. I follow my own rules. I like the Zettelkasten idea of one idea per card, but if I put more related things in the same .md file, that's OK. I didn't like the flat directory structure, and so I have dirs organized by category. My /bar directory is inside my /cooking directory, and for whatever reason, that makes sense to me. Ripgrep doesn't care, and I always find what I'm looking for.
This markdown hierarchy, that still lives in a repo called "foam", has become indispensable to me.

How would you read your files if Obsidian disappeared?
Probably use foam https://github.com/foambubble/foam

How do you guys document all the technical stuff of your selfhosted servers?
So I switched to FOAM and it's just clean & organized markdown files in a git repo. Self host a code server instance and I can reference it without installing something to the work machine.

The 1st APP that you open each day?
Recently I started to configure my digital garden. Foam is a good option, Hugo Doks, No Style Please, Git-Wiki, Researcher, Thinkspace, and other themes are good for zetteltasken pages.

I use foam and VSCode and regularly am wow'd with what I am having it do next. I feel I am still just getting started too.

Silver Bullet: Markdown-based extensible open source personal knowledge platform
Since the data store is markdown and can be synced with Git, you can already work with an Obsidian vault using Foam in VSCode. I do.
You do need to align some options in each, such as file naming, a header, a particular style of links, and ensure frontmatter behavior. All necessary settings exist.

https://github.com/foambubble/foam/issues/46
This supports basic static file and links functionality, not extended data tools etc., of course.

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
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.

Why I Like Obsidian
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.

IAC sold 17 apps to Bending Spoons. $100M deal, all 330 employees fired
Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
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.
