  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • notejot

    Stupidly-simple notes app.

  • Quickly browsing through FlatHub, maybe this one would work for you?

  • libinput-gestures

    Actions gestures on your touchpad using libinput

  • You can easily configure a custom key shortcut to open the "Quick Note" window with a keyboard shortcut. If you really want to run this with a drag-from-edge gesture, I think you can configure a drag gesture with LibInput-Gestures, but I have never tried this for myself.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • logseq

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

  • So basically Logseq

  • notable

    The Markdown-based note-taking app that doesn't suck.

  • Notable might also be a good alternative -- it stores notes in standard Markdown, so there's no lock-in, but it displays inline images and has a lot of similar features to Obsidian.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
