notabase VS HomeBrew

https://notabase.io - a note-taking app for networked thinking.

It supports page stacking, linked references, block references, a graph view, and all that good stuff. Think of it as similar to Roam Research / Obsidian.

It's also open source so you can self-host it. Here's the code: https://github.com/churichard/notabase

I'm hoping to add support for shareable links soon. Open to other ideas or feedback!

you can check out this page https://alternativeto.net/software/joplin/?platform=online but the best I could find are - https://www.taskade.com/ https://standardnotes.com/ https://notesnook.com/ https://bundlednotes.com/ https://diaroapp.com/ https://notabase.io/ https://boostnote.io/ etc.

When evaluating rich text editors for the note-taking app I started about a year ago (https://notabase.io), I ended up going with Slate because of its flexible schema and customizable plugin architecture.

I sort of regret that choice now. I ran into a lot of bugs when integrating it which I had to manually work around; issues go months without being addressed; and there still isn't good cross-platform support, especially for Android. With a more active contributor base, Slate could be a fantastic library, but I get the feeling that it's in maintenance mode now, with not many major changes in the past year and a v1.0 still far in the future.

Tiptap looks like it might be a good choice now, but I find it off-putting that I can't insert links in the demo editor on Tiptap's website (https://tiptap.dev), especially for my use case (a note-taking app whose core concept revolves around links).

I'm working on an open source note-taking app called Notabase [1]. It's built primarily for my use - I just never liked most existing note-taking apps and wanted to make one that fit the way that I think. I made it open source [2] so other people can build on top of my ideas, and released a hosted version so that other people can use it if they like it. It would be nice if other people found it helpful, but regardless it's something that I intrinsically enjoy working on.

You can try Notabase https://notabase.io/, which is better for self-hosting.

if you prefer mdSilo, need to toggle the Offline mode false in code and use the third-part services: vercel and supabase

Homebrew is a highly popular package manager on macOS and Linux systems, enabling users to easily install, update, and uninstall command-line tools and applications. Its design philosophy focuses on simplifying the software installation process on macOS, eliminating the need for manual downloads and compilations of software packages.

Homebrew - package manager for linux-based OSs.

Package Manager: Homebrew

Hopping from one distro to another with a different package manager might require some time to adapt. Using a package manager that can be installed on most distro is one way to help you get to work faster. Flatpak is one of them; other alternative are Snap, Nix or Homebrew. Flatpak is a good starter, and if you have a bunch of free time, I suggest trying Nix.

Are you using SQLite that ships with macOS, or SQLite installed from homebrew?

I had a different problem in the past with the SQLite that ships with macOS, and have been using SQLite from homebrew since.

So if it’s the one that comes with macOS that gives you this problem that you are having, try using SQLite from homebrew instead.

Before we begin, make sure you have Homebrew installed on your Mac. Homebrew is a package manager that makes it easy to install software and dependencies. You can install Homebrew by following the instructions on their website: https://brew.sh/

I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS.

I have always either installed Node from the installer provided by the Nodejs website or, via Brew in macOS. I have also used nvm in the past but did not know that there was a best practice to guide us.

A running Rails application needs a database to connect to. You may already have your database of choice installed, but if not, I recommend PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short. On a Mac, probably the easiest way to install it is with Posrgres.app. Another option, the one I prefer, is to use Homebrew. With Homebrew installed, this command will install PostgreSQL version 16 along with libpq:

On a macOS machine, you can use homebrew by running the command.
