  • treehouse

  • Over the past few months, we've built the Treehouse frontend framework into an elegant, quality outliner that's open source, extensible, and gives you control of your data. I’d like to share some of the design influences for the Treehouse frontend, which should give a sense of the unique direction Treehouse is going from here.

  • TiddlyWiki

    A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc.

  • Back in the 2000s, hosted and self-hosted wikis became popular for easy, collaborative web publishing and knowledge management. Like Wikipedia, they could be used to build out hyperlinked knowledge repositories. Many wiki-based tools focused on their use as personal notebooks, one of the most influential examples being TiddlyWiki. The simple versatility of the wiki laid the groundwork for what we call "tools for thought" today.

  • github-orgmode-tests

    This is a test project where you can explore how github interprets Org-mode files

  • Meanwhile, a separate paradigm of note-taking tools emerged, focusing on the nested, tree-like structure of the outline. Perhaps inspired by tools like OmniOutliner and Org Mode for Emacs of the 2000s, Workflowy appeared in 2010 as a no-frills web-based outliner.

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  • Obsidian arrived in 2020 and is a local app focusing on Markdown files stored on your filesystem. Obsidian has a large plugin ecosystem giving it a wide breadth of features, but it’s especially appealing to those that want to own their data. If you strip away the plugins, Obsidian is a pretty simple hyperlinked Markdown editor.

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.
