Why is Trilium so unknown? (github.com)

I mean Trilium is fantastic app, lots of potential but the developer is struggling on his own, maybe it's because it's younger than logseq or maybe because is open source compared to obsidian. I think it's the best note-taking/knowledge-base/second-brain i know it virtually could link everything you posses toghter to create a gigantic wiki, so much potential. Plus it has its own self hostable syncing server and web app. Guys give it a look and tell me what you think

Is this similar to Notion?

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

Seems like it misses some key features from Notion. Notion is awesome. Trilium seems cool too, but it's not enough to make me leave Notion.

Have you tried Anytype? It's a combination of Notion and Obsidian, and it's end-to-end encrypted, and everything is stored on your device. Still in alpha, but it has a lot of features already. Because it's in alpha, they only give access to people who attend an online presentation of the app. But it's worth it. And as soon as it exits alpha, the plan is to open source it.

A fellow Anytype user here. It went into beta a week or so ago! I believe anyone can sign up and start using it now.

It’s great. Similar to Notion but the way it structures notes is different. Bit of a learning curve if you want to use all of its features, but the basics are the same as Notion. It’s all end-to-end encrypted which gives me peace of mind. They plan to open source the code. Give it a try!

That's amazing! Anytype is one of the greatest note-taking apps I've ever tried, and there doesn't seem to be anything it cannot do. So happy to see others using and recommending it.

I updated the Android app and noticed there's a new desktop version as well, but I'm having issues updating it on Linux, so I just assumed it's still in alpha.

Kinda weird that they already advertise it as open source when they haven't done that yet

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Seems like it is on their roadmap to open the source next quarter. I'll keep my eye on it in the mean time. Looks very interesting

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Damn seems very cool, I will give it a look, thanks man.

Just too rough around the edges, I guess because it is young. Is Notion FOSS?

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

It's not, but there seems to be a similar note taking app that is open source called AppFlowy. Silly name but it seems nice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That is actually pretty cool, but it doesn't seem much of a knowledge base more like an organizer.
