silverbullet VS Joplin

I used Obsidian for a while, but for some reason https://silverbullet.md ended up resonating more with me.

While this may not be quite what you're looking for, something like SilverBullet could be made to fit your needs. It has a query system that could show a list of who has done what chore and how many times someone has done a chore and when they each last did a given chore.

I'm a big fan of https://silverbullet.md. You can add a checkbox list like this:

Silverbullet can do that with inline links or hashtags. You can use the query directive to make pages show a list of related items.

https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet This has been my alternative for Obsidian for a while now, and it has support to run it as a server with several frontends or whatever.

I like SilverBullet. It lets you add tags and queries and page links and saves everything to markdown files you can easily backup.

I have a small VPS on which I run Silverbullet on the localhost address, then I run Caddy as a reverse proxy. Caddy takes care of SSL certificates via Tailscale when running on a ts.net address - of course SSL isn't needed because Wireguard encrypts the traffic, but browsers consider http urls unsafe.

If you just want to run something simple locally you could also try silverbullet: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet It's a neat little note taking app in the browser using markdown and it also has a collab plugin https://silverbullet.md/%F0%9F%94%8C_Collab for collaboration with others

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.

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.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

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.
