Trilium Notes VS obsidian-releases

https://github.com/zadam/trilium#trilium-is-in-maintenance-m... above and beyond the license difference between the two (I'm not looking for trouble, I'm only saying they are different)

It depends on what subset of Notion you use. Nothing (including Notion) is perfect for me. I'd like to build my own eventually, but I'm currently using Obsidian which doesn't hit your "works in the browser" requirement.

One option, which is open source and self hosted, is Trilium[sic], found at https://github.com/zadam/trilium It's open source, so if it's close to what you want, you might be able to adjust it to meet your needs.

Other commercial options include Realm, Tana, and Craft. With varying degrees of "AI".

I really like the UX of Tana for building out graphs of pages with properties, but it's slow to start up, doesn't support math, etc. So it's mainly a UX example for me.

I can also recommend Trilium Notes [1], which I have been happily using for years. It's currently in "maintenance mode", which I personally see as a feature (no risk of bloatware).

Self-hosted, great webapp, optional native clients and works offline.

Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm.

Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issues with plugin maintainers abandoning plugins you rely on, or needing to make a decision between three different plugins that all do the same thing slightly different. Depending on your use case and expectations that may not be a big deal, but I really missed not having what I personally saw as core features not being officially supported.

(Also, FWIW, the sync service is a bit pricy for what it is. I get that it's how they're trying to monetise it, but...I would have preferred another pricing model, even if the total cost was just as high.)

I've personally switched to Trilium Notes which I'm finding nicer. One element I particularly like is that it has first class suport for notes being able to exist at multiple places in a tree simultaneously. I know it's a very personal thing, but for me personally being able to file notes in multiple locations "clicks" in a way that tags didn't.

A nice writeup on ways to use Trilium (although much of it applies to Obsidian too): https://github.com/zadam/trilium/wiki/Patterns-of-personal-k...

Then you come across Trilium and drop the mic

I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases.

Obsidian has become a go-to tool for developers, researchers, and writers who want to manage their knowledge in a flexible, local-first way. With Markdown-based storage, plugin extensibility, and full control over your data, it offers an ideal environment for serious note-taking and knowledge work.

Obsidian Website Download, docs, community, and roadmap.

You can find out about Obsidian on their site It's free to use and open source

I don't argue that companies are obligated to distributing their products as open source. Not at all. One of my favourite pieces of software, Obsidian is closed source, and I have no objection to that. They as a company need to make a profit, and they are free to chose their own strategy.5

Obsidian Official Website Still an incredible tool for the right type of workflow.

This is a plugin for Obsidian [1] that can extend Obsidian with custom functionality.

There's a demo video in the readme.

Why?

Obsidian is a note taking app with tons of extensions. Even so, there must be hyper-niche use cases that aren't being served by any existing extension. LLMs are decent at coding though, so maybe an LLM can write custom functionality on demand.

That's the experiment, to see if you can customize your notes app simply by asking the LLM.

The obvious caveat is that the plugin is only as good as the LLM driving it. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how capable Sonnet 3.7 is at writing Obsidian code (without examples). However, even so, it is far from perfect.

Is this useful?

It's _interesting_, but I'm not sure yet how useful it is. The AI doesn't always succeed, and the combination of prompt + model will make or break the experience.

I'm looking to get feedback.

Broadly speaking I'd love to see more software that could be customized to meet extremely specific user needs.

These are useful and beneficial for your reputation and branding. I use my email alias for GNOME-related work at [email protected], have my blog at alirezash.gnome.org, and sync my Obsidian notes with Nextcloud on GNOME infrastructure. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my travel sponsorship as a speaker at events because I'm from Iran, and due to OFAC regulations which is so unfair.

It's not marketed as a markdown-to-pdf tool, but I've found that Obsidian (https://obsidian.md) does an excellent job. Just create a new "vault", paste your markdown into a new note, and export to PDF.

Limited Scope: Eleventy is primarily suited for blogs and simple static sites. It lacks advanced interactivity and business logic capabilities. ## Start with a Starter Projects — Eleventy When starting an 11ty project, there are many templates available to help you get started quickly. These templates provide pre-configured setups for various use cases, such as blogs, portfolios, and more. I chose the Official Starter template to begin. Link to the template. After selecting the "Official Starter" template, I followed the instructions to set up my project. This involved installing dependencies, initializing Git, and running a few commands to get everything up and running. ## How to Write Posts? I use Obsidian to write posts and sync them to the content/blog/ directory in my project. Writing in Markdown makes it easy to maintain posts. Here’s how I do it in a few steps: ### Step 1: Write the Post in Obsidian I create a folder in Vault's Obsidian name public will store my posts . Change setting Obsidian a little bit in File and links.
