  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mind.nvim

    Discontinued The power of trees at your fingertips.

  • I use mind.nvim with markdown syntax. pretty neat. It's simple to setup and you can create a hierarchy of notes.

  • zk-nvim

    Neovim extension for zk

  • I haven been using zk-nvim, which follows the Zettelkasten standard using markdown formatting. There are a couple of similar tools (e.g., nueron), but I have found zk to work the best.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • zk

    A plain text note-taking assistant

  • Big fan of zk and zk-nvim. The biggest drawback was that link insertion depended on cmp, but now there's work to add linking as a direct LSP command. I've been using that since it's been merged in, and it makes creating and linking notes on the fly a breeze!

  • obsidian.nvim

    Obsidian 🤝 Neovim

  • mkdnflow.nvim

    Fluent navigation and management of markdown notebooks

  • Did you see https://github.com/jakewvincent/mkdnflow.nvim/ mentioned here? I think that's the winner here (though I admit I have bias against even considering zettlekesten/zk merely due to its name: in computing we call that a wiki).

  • orgmode

    Orgmode clone written in Lua for Neovim 0.9+.

  • There is https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode which has been working pretty alright for my workflow. It even uses a org-mode treesitter parser for some capabilities.

  • 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.

  • I wonder why nobody mentions Logseq? It supports org mode

  • 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.

  • appscura

    Curated collection of productivity apps.

  • I should probably add a special tag for this type of note taking in Appscura. Check it out, maybe you'll find an app matching your needs (hint: try #beta tag to filter tools that are now in early access)

  • nb

    CLI and local web plain text note‑taking, bookmarking, and archiving with linking, tagging, filtering, search, Git versioning & syncing, Pandoc conversion, + more, in a single portable script.
