  • obsidian-releases

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

  • I've been trying to incorporate notetaking into my life as well and have really liked obsidian so far. I got sick of juggling text files or being forced into crappy proprietary formats or having to pay for some bullshit subscription. Obsidian uses markdown files, which I was very familiar with already and comes with the huge bonus that if it were to disappear in the future I'll still be able to access all my notes easily.

  • vimwiki

    Personal Wiki for Vim

  • How about learning vim and using vimwiki ?

  • 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.

  • zk

    A plain text note-taking assistant

  • If you want to go full terminal workspace - you could use Zk (https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk) + editor of your choice. It is just markdown under the hood, but it comes with quite a few good features that majority of the tools have now (tags, backlinks, front matter, templates, etc). I wrote a post about my setup literally yesterday (it was a bit more editor oriented though) https://www.reddit.com/r/HelixEditor/comments/144x6r3/escape_hatch_xd/

  • github-orgmode-tests

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

  • If you want something expandable: https://orgmode.org/

  • archwiki

    MediaWiki used on Arch Linux websites (read-only mirror)

  • Yes, but... the advantage of the pure log method is you have a full record of what you've done. Depends on what you want. But definitely would be a waste of time trying to create a fully-organized personal wiki. Use ArchWiki instead.

  • 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.
