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?
I used to bullet journal but pen and paper notes aren't searchable so I use FOAM for knowledge management, it's a vscode plugin that turns simple markdown into a great connected graph of notes.
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.

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

Notesnook – open-source and zero knowledge private note taking app
The home page title has the word zero knowledge, I guess?
Their GitHub has slightly more info regarding this, but I agree that stuff like this should have at least a page dedicated for it that explains how they've implemented their security.
> Notesnook is a free (as in speech) & open-source note-taking app focused on user privacy & ease of use. To ensure zero knowledge principles, Notesnook encrypts everything on your device using XChaCha20-Poly1305 & Argon2.

Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors
We have been using Tiptap in production for more than a year in Notesnook[0]. Glad to see it finally launching here on HN!
We have had quite a long and rough ride in search of a stable rich text editor. We began with Quill.js then migrated to TinyMCE and then finally settled on Prosemirror. Unfortunately, contenteditable is still absolutely horrible on web browsers, especially mobile ones.
Tiptap is a good choice if you are looking for a framework agnostic and thin abstraction over Prosemirror. However, if you are primarily working with React you should go with Remirror[1]. Tiptap's APIs are heavily inspired by Remirror (almost a duplicate in some places). Remirror takes the edge on the maturity and stability of the API and extensions. The sheer number of utilities offered by them to simplify Prosemirror's APIs is astounding.
In the end, though, its Prosemirror that's doing all the heavy lifting. And no matter how many abstractions you put on it, you will have to get really, really close in with Prosemirror's internals. Tiptap or Remirror do not make that any easier or harder aside from the initial bootstrapping.

Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
Even though Evernote is a competitor, it's still sad to see such a giant in the note-taking space go down so badly. Of course, I am still skeptical about this news and whether its actually true since no source has been linked.
Aside:
I work (and lead the development) on Notesnook, an end-to-end encrypted, open source alternative to Evernote. Since we are based in Pakistan, our pricing has been really competitive at just $4.49/mo (compared to $17.99/mo of Evernote). And best of all, we have one of the best Evernote Importers around: https://importer.notesnook.com/
