I’ve been using Obsidian for a long time. I enjoy it and all of its extensions. However setting up the app and syncthing on all of my systems gets irritating.
Any way, after a little looking around, I found Trillium notes. It doesn’t quite have all the extensions, but is easier to setup. Give it a look, see what you think
I’ve tried lot of selfhosted note taking apps. A lot.
While Trillium is polished and efficient, I find that the PWA makes the UI hard to navigate and read. It deserves a real app, optimized for smaller screens.
I haven’t really used obisidian as it is a bit overkill for my use case anyway. So not using trillium wasn’t such a loss.
I ended up using bookstack for my knowledge base, and flatnotes for everyday note taking.
I agree that it could be nice to have an app that just points at your instance with a more intuitive UI.
I like the idea of using bookstack, don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get into using it.
There is a mobile view plugin that makes the mobile pwa much more usable.
Didn’t know of this one. Thanks for the info
Using it for a month actually, I like the idea of database-notes. And I use the sharing function a lot, because I wrote a lot of guides which I share with friends and colleagues. It just transfer a note into a website and now it replaced my wiki.js and my notes app.
What I miss is a cool app, but hey it’s open source I don’t complain.
Didn’t know it could do that. I was exporting as PDF on obsidian, but never figured out how to apply a them with the export.
This theoretically sounds much better.
Its the sharing function. If you add the sharing on a whole group of notes it will be transferred in a website with navigation, too.
Is it better than writing in Markdown and slapping a static site generator on it if one wants a website?
Less time taken waiting for your site build after a push, not as pretty though.
I was trying to find something with sync too, ended up working on building my own, federation doesn’t work yet but tell me what you think. https://github.com/odama626/tasks

Take a loom siYuan, I ran it with docker. Went to it on my laptop and phone. As I was typing on one it was populating on the other, it also has a nice interface on mobile.
I’ll take a look at yours too, love trying new things
FWIW I use foam. It is a visual code extension so you piggyback on all Visual code features and extensions (e.g. git, md lint, etc). And I sync with my self hosted gitea. It doesn’t have a mobile app but I use obsidian with the obsidian git plugin
