  4. Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

    Project mention: Siyuan: Privacy-first, self-hosted personal knowledge management software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-25

    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).

  5. Quasar Framework

    Project mention: What do you think about using a game engine for UI? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-12

    In general, people must make a choice between portability, and the breadth of optimizations.

    For multi-platform builds, there are single code-base frameworks available:

    https://quasar.dev/

    For MacOS, Linux Gtk, and Windows native builds there are mature free libraries that allow both FOSS and commercial static linking:

    https://wxwidgets.org/

    Game engines are designed to solve a single set of use-cases for optimization, and portability is usually terrible outside the current windows release.

    Best of luck, =3
