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

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
