  • obsidian-export

    Rust library and CLI to export an Obsidian vault to regular Markdown

    • Obsidian has a paid publishing add-on as well, but I wrote obsidian-export to be able to build my own publishing pipeline which uses the static site generator Hugo.

  • 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.

    • logseq! It's a local-first, clojure-based and very actively developed PKM tool. Think obsidian or Roam Research, but imo fits the use case better.

  • 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.

  • Gollum

    A simple, Git-powered wiki with a local frontend and support for many kinds of markup and content.

    • You probably want gollum. It supports many things, AsciiDoc being one of them.

  • XBackBone

    A lightweight file manager with full ShareX support and more

    • ShareX + https://github.com/SergiX44/XBackBone for saving/sharing screenshots

  • Joplin

    Joplin - the secure note taking and to-do app with synchronisation capabilities for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

    • I switched from Dropbox as I couldn't bear the headache of a 3-4 day Webdav sync with my NC set up. Discourse thread here and the accompanying Readme should be enough to get it set up. If you need a working Docker-compose file for local network, happy to put it up if you're having troubles. Good luck and hope it isn't too much of a headache to set up! It's easy enough to just revert to the Dropbox sync if you're not able to get it working too.

  • mindforger

    Thinking notebook and Markdown editor with LLM wingman.
