This seems like a solid choice for those of use looking for a obsidian-like replacement. Personally tried all editors out there, but nothing is able to defeat my love for obsidian. However, i look forwards to trying out Haptic when it comes to Linux. Currently it only supports Web and Mac. But state Linux and Windows support is on-the-way.

Kudos to selfh.st that provides consistent updates within this community and who shared this among other cool projects this week -> https://selfh.st/newsletter/2024-09-06/?ref=this-week-in-self-hosted-newsletter

As soon as one of these Obsidian alternatives has real-time collaboration and a mobile interface, I'm ready to switch.

The real power of obsidian is similar to why Raspberry Pi is so popular, it has such a large community that plugins are amazing and hard to duplicate.

That being said, I use this to live sync between all my devices. It works with almost the same latency as google docs but its not meant for multiple people editing the same file at the same time

Yeah, I need something to collaborate with my partner in realtime. We've got a hacky setup in Obsidian using dataview to join separate notes to a read-only one, so we don't have collisions, but I would love something better.

Could syncthing work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Syncthing works on a file level basis. If files are changed on both devices at the same time, it will have sync conflicts.

The comment two above this links to a tool that literally does live syncing on a line by line level. Unless you're editing the same lines at the same time you're not going to get sync conflicts.

I use it as well and it works wonderfully in real time.

I wouldn’t know. All I am saying is that Syncthing would not work for this purpose.

Can confirm, seen it live. As soon as LogSeq was open on both devices it threw an error.
