siyuan
A privacy-first, self-hosted, fully open source personal knowledge management software, written in typescript and golang.
Project mention: SiYuan, Privacy First, Affero GPL, self-hosted PKMS written in ts and go | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-18I came across this project a while back and adopted it for my personal Personal Knowledge Management System/PKMS.
I've bounced around a few PKMS in the past, eventually settling on Obsidian but later moving to Logseq in an effort to avoid relying on closed source tooling. Then recently I discovered this project and I've been beyond impressed.
The desktop and mobile apps work very well and to be entirely honest are way more polished than I've come to expect from a FOSS PKMS, it's full featured with more or less everything I could want. It has a built in git-like VCS, it has integrated rendering for Mermaid, Plantuml, etc, and what I've personally found most interesting is it supports representing your notes as structured data that you can query with SQL.
My one gripe is the english docs are pretty sparse but otherwise I've had a phenominal time with SiYuan and I thought HN might find it interesting.

I have a bit of an obsession with finding the fastest way to launch apps. My goal is to be able to create fully functional MVP's and proofs of concept in less than a day. That means being able to spin up a backend and then implement a frontend as efficiently as possible. For the backend, PocketBase has been my favorite lately. On the frontend I am still trying to find a winner. I like Quasar (VueJS + Capacitor) which is fantastic for web apps, but falls a bit short for mobile apps. I've been eyeing React Native lately especially since Expo offers a ton of great plugins like Location and also supports remote updates.

Electron React Boilerplate(ERB) is a pretty easy way to start building a desktop app in no time. It uses electron-builder under the hood to power build and publish step of the application and for building the frontend it uses Webpack. Just clone the repo and you're ready to go. For this setup let's use the name agent-desktop-app.
