    If you know your way around Docker or can set up a php -environment you can host Kanka yourself.

    For just general campaign management, e.g. keeping track of NPCs, locations, session logs, and all the other generally in-universe stuff I use Kanka. I've tried a few other sites, but never liked them as much. It makes it very easy to keep track of things for a sandbox game with a lot of stuff going on and hundreds of active NPCs. No more "Who is that guy? When did we last see him? Wait, he's the guy that the cousin of the murdered magistrate was suspicious of, right?" because I can just drop a quick link that pulls all of that information together.
  • Campaign organizer?

    I highly recommend Kanka.io. You can log, link and share anything campaign related you could possibly want.

    Kanka

    Maybe Kanka. It's similar to WorldAnvil that is mostly free. The only difference between each type of membership is the file size limit of what you're trying to upload. But AFAIK even as a free user, you can upload as much shit a you can as long as each individual file is below the limit (3MB for maps, 1MB for other files for free users). It's a dealbreaker for some since they have to downscale their maps and artworks to upload there.

    I prefer to use https://kanka.io/ and the module https://github.com/eXaminator/kanka-foundry/ so i can manage many references and sync many worlds together.

    Consider making an Obsidian[^1] plugin, or writing to Obsidian-compatible Markdown files :)

    Obsidian is a writing application created to allow for offline / private note taking in markdown format, in an interface that looks a lot like our regular programming IDE. It is very flexible, with a good collection of community plugins that you can use to customize Obsidian to your heart contents.

    Thank you!

    In the beginning, I used kognise'z water.css [1], so most of the smart decisions (background/text color, margins, line spacing I think) probably come from there. Since then it's been some amount of little adjustments. The font is by Jean François Porchez, called Le Monde Livre Classic [2].

    I draft in Obsidian [3] and build the site with a couple python scripts and KaTeX.

  • Show HN: Reor – An AI note-taking app that runs models locally
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 14 Feb 2024
    Great job!

    I played around with this on a couple of small knowledge bases using an open Hermes model I had downloaded. The “related notes” feature didn't provide much value in my experience, often the link was so weak it was nonsensical. The Q&A mode was surprisingly helpful for querying notes and providing overviews, but asking anything specific typically just resulted in less than helpful or false answers. I'm sure this could be improved with a better model etc.

    As a concept, I strongly support the development of private, locally-run knowledge management tools. Ideally, these solutions should prioritise user data privacy and interoperability, allowing users to easily export and migrate their notes if a new service better fits their needs. Or better yet, be completely local, but have functionality for 'plugins' so a user can import their own models or combine plugins. A bit like how Obsidian[1] allows for user created plugins to enable similar functionality to Reor, such as the Obsidan-LLM[2] plugin.

    Not a complete answer, but I hope Markdown is or becomes the standard for offline docs and text for local/offline consumption. I only ever write in markdown anyway (usually with http://obsidian.md).

    The closest thing I know of for a service like RSS to download documents is [Dash for macOS - API Documentation Browser, Snippet Manager - Kapeli](https://kapeli.com/dash).

  • Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Jan 2024
    I keep absolutely everything in a single folder. Saved documents, images, movies, financial records, game saves, it doesn't matter. My hierarchical naming scheme takes care of organization. On the odd occasion I actually need a folder, I just append ".d" to the filename.

    I use . as a hierarchy delimiter, so file extensions are just part of the hierarchy, and I can have multiple files with the same name except for the extension. For example, "film.spongebob.png" is a photo of spongebob, "film.spongebob.org" is a note about spongebob, and "film.spongebob.s1.e7" is my favorite episode.

    I use org-roam [1] for note-taking and task/time-management. I absolutely require a plain-text system so it either had to be markdown or org-mode. Emacs was the deciding factor, else I would have still been using Dendron [2]

    If OneNote is your thing, I'd probably recommend Obsidian [3] over org-roam. Despite it being the greatest program ever created, Emacs is a lot to learn "just" for taking notes.

    If you like VS Code, check out Dendron. It's the one that got me into more serious PKMS instead of just chucking notes in a folder all willy nilly.

  • Publishing to my blog from Obsidian
    5 projects | dev.to | 28 Dec 2023
    I like using Obsidian for almost everything writing-wise. But, this has caused occasional friction when it comes to publishing to my blog. I've mentioned before that I'm trying out TinaCMS, which is generally working well for me (especially for posts with images), but I wanted to try something where I can push straight from Obsidian if I'm not able to use Tina for whatever reason.
