Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes - GitHub - zadam/trilium: Build your personal knowledge base with Trilium Notes

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

    I used it for a while and right up to the point I actually set it up to give it a go, I’d never even heard of it before. Definitely feels like it flies under the radar.

    I loved the idea behind it, but a few points ended up sticking out so I ended up dropping it at some point. Namely, I didn’t like the markdown editor much, plus it was very awkward to use on mobile (which, granted, is an issue with most competitors). I also don’t like how it’s dabatase based, vastly prefer using local markdown files. Plus, it’s more of a personal thing but I came to prefer graph based implementations better than hierarchical ones. Still, really impressive project and I very much appreciate that it’s open source and fully self hostable, not much in the way of competition there when it comes to second brain alternatives.

    After exploring a few options, I’ve ended up on Logseq. Shame that one isn’t self hostable, not fully anyway, since last I checked you still need to open a local folder even if you do host it yourself.

    I used Evernote for a long time but, you know, non-FOSS things happened. Then I tested several open source alternatives and I finally switched to Joplin. I am really happy about it. I didn’t remember why I discarded Trillium, maybe because I can’t share my notes with my Android device.

        I have a pretty basic org-roam setup I think. I keep my org files all in a directory called “org” that I sync with syncthing (previously I used Dropbox), and whenever I setup a new machine, I just grab that folder and put it at my user root (with Dropbox I would just symlink the folder from “~/Dropbox/org” to “~/org”).

        Now no matter what machine I am on and where I make my changes I have them all up to date.

        I generally have large nodes that contain all my knowledge, and I split them up as they get too big. E.g I used to have a single UnityEngine node, but over time I have split it up into many different nodes: EditorWindow, ScriptableObjects/UnitTesting/etc…

        I have at least one node for each of my projects, and there is a “Tasklist” heading in each of those project nodes which contain all my TODOs, those project files are tagged with the name of the project, so that I can easily write an org-agenda search to grab all the TODOs from a single project into a single view without anything else I have stored in the file (which includes a project synopsis, architecture notes/UML diagrams, general notes, etcc…).

        Since I am already in emacs when I am writing code, this keep it very simple for me to have this information as accessible as all my code files are. When I discover a new language feature or have to look something up, I just open up the node for that language, and put that new information in, linking to the source where i grabbed that snippet, or where the full MSDN documentation is stored if I need to go more in depth that my short description I write it. Copying down the information helps me internalize it, and I can easily just search through that file for information I have stored. This means that even if I don’t have internet access, I have access to all my previously looked up information I maybe have forgotten.
