OneNote alternative to make a knowledge base (lemmy.ml)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Hey Privacy people,

I am looking for a OneNote alternative for all my campaign notes for my tabletop RPGs. I was looking at Obsidian.md as an option and wondering what their data collection is like?

Fot all my personal and private notes I use standard notes but the free version is not quite roboist enougj. I can't afford to pay premium any time soon I need a free option I can use.

Any suggestions ?

Unless you need specific functionality that silver bullet doesn't provide, i'd start there. It's very similar to logseq, but doesn't have a bunch of questionable design choices based around a paid sync monetization scheme. Silverbullet is self hosted and has a web app. Logseq is a webapp, packaged for Android and desktop, but only allowed file access for your data so you can't self host sync... Because they charge for that. It's a mess.

I just use syncthing with logseq and it works fine...

I do too. My point is there's already a web app you can self host, but you can't store your data on your server. The web app uses the local file access framework, which is just dumb. There's no reason for this except to be able to monetize sync, and that's also dumb because as you said, sync thing works fine. But they're making a bad choice to explicitly remove functionality, and that doesn't make me feel confident about the future of the project.

For this exact reason I switched to Trilium, I can acces on all my devices. I'm very expectant of the new fork Trilium Next.
