  • obsidian.el

    Obsidian Notes for Emacs

  • Trilium Notes

    Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

  • 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.

  • Also check out logseq, workflows a bit different but pretty intuitive if you're taking notes instead of doing longform writing.

  • zim-desktop-wiki

    Main repository of the zim desktop wiki project

  • Again, I'll put up another vote for http://zim-wiki.org which I've been using for now almost decades. I've begun to experiment more with Obsidian as well, a killer thing for me would be for e.g. Zim to support standard Markdown and just make the two fully cross-compatible...

  • docs

    Logseq documentation (by logseq)

  • I've become a big fan of LogSeq for these reasons. In LogSeq, you have pages and trees of data (aka blocks[1]. All can be cross-referenced or embeded between each context. It's quite nice.

  • 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.

  • vimwiki

    Personal Wiki for Vim

  • What, we're talking about wikis and vim, and not mentioning vimwiki?

    https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

    I tried a whole bunch of personal wikis over the years (I see Zim has been mentioned, that's one of the ones I remember trying) and this is the only one that stuck.

  • wiki.vim

    A wiki plugin for Vim

  • Shameless plug: there's also [wiki.vim](https://github.com/lervag/wiki.vim/), which I believe is starting to be a real contender to Vimwiki.

    Regardless: In my experience, Vim + wiki with some additional plugins for fast searching and navigation is a very good combo!

  • linny.vim

    Personal document database and note taking plugin for Vim.

  • I wrote a vim plugin which is my daily wiki driver. It uses Hugo as markdown indexer.
