  1. 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 would recommend https://logseq.com/

    Progress on the `master` branch is a bit slow because there's a transition towards using a database instead of the filesystem https://github.com/logseq/logseq/tree/feat/db

  3. quartz

    🌱 a fast, batteries-included static-site generator that transforms Markdown content into fully functional websites

    I haven't tried Zettlr, so I can't compare, and I'm not here to criticize, but what I miss in many tools in this Market is the ability to install and create extensions. That's why I'm a huge fan of Obsidian [0].

    I publish my notes [1] using Obsidian Publish [2], and find the experience really good. I'm able to customize almost every aspect I need to.

    There's also Quartz [3] that is a good compatible alternative to Obsidian Publish.

  4. foam

    A personal knowledge management and sharing system for VSCode

    I just use Foam - https://github.com/foambubble/foam

    As a Visual Studio Code extension, it runs everywhere (except some mobile setups), is very fast, and provides me with the ability to tack on more features via other extensions. I set up a β€œNotes” profile with everything I need, and switch to that for a couple of workspaces.

  5. Joplin

    Joplin - the privacy-focused note taking app with sync capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

    Longtime Joplin [1] user here, how does the most recent version of Zettlr compare? I have grown really comfortable with the simple interface of Joplin, plus using S3 for sync makes life easy for me as I'm living on my own infrastructure.

  6. silverbullet

    An open source personal productivity platform built on Markdown, turbo charged with the scripting power of Lua

    https://silverbullet.md/ it's a nice alternative. It's web based and with a lot of interesting features.

  7. SurveyJS

    JavaScript Form Builder with No-Code UI & Built-In JSON Schema Editor. Add the SurveyJS white-label form builder to your JavaScript app (React/Angular/Vue3). Build complex JSON forms without coding. Fully customizable, works with any backend, perfect for data-heavy apps. Learn more.
