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 really like Logseq, and I feel it's the only one of the note-taking tools that has the tradeoffs I want (outliner, local-first, focuses on content on a block-by-block basis, has backlinks), but recently there's been not much happening, and the mobile app has been slightly broken for me for a while now (when opening a note I often can't add new bullet points, so I end up writing notes in an invalid format).
I'm really looking forward to their db-oriented version which is supposed to be merged into main (here's the long-lived branch[0]) this month. Presumably that will bring the project back up to speed, since that branch is currently almost 4k (!!!) commits ahead of main.
At the same time, I'm a bit worried about how the company is gonna sustain itself. After all they raised quite a bit of money, while at the same time I'm not sure how large a market there is for commercialisation of an open-source PKM app like this. Esp. since it looks like its market-share is maybe ~1/10th that of Obsidian (based on most popular plugin download counts). TFA is kind of related to this.
While Obsidian is great from a sustainability perspective (it seems to me) but unfortunately it comes short of being a good outliner.

Oh thank the stars!
> Do note that I believe the current plan is to have two-way sync between files and the db, so presumably custom modification of md files should still work fine. But we'll see how that evolves.
Perfect, fingers crossed. There was a submission Trying TinaCMS a couple months ago that mentioned what sounds similar & ideal to me, Keeping flat files as a source of truth then having a projection of those files in a DB for faster querying. You can just throw the whole DB away & TinaCMS will rebuild it as needed. I love this approach as a way to give everyone what they need, fingers crossed we see similar here with by beloved Logseq.
