notabase

https://notabase.io - a note-taking app for networked thinking. It supports page stacking, linked references, block references, a graph view, and all that good stuff. Think of it as similar to Roam Research / Obsidian. It's also open source so you can self-host it. Here's the code: https://github.com/churichard/notabase I'm hoping to add support for shareable links soon. Open to other ideas or feedback!

I'm working on an open source note-taking app called Notabase [1]. It's built primarily for my use - I just never liked most existing note-taking apps and wanted to make one that's easy to use and fit the way that I think. I made it open source [2] so other people can build on top of my ideas, and released a hosted version so that other people can use it if they like it. It would be nice if other people found it helpful, but regardless it's something that I intrinsically enjoy working on. [1]: https://notabase.io [2]: https://github.com/churichard/notabase

I used to use FreeMind a fair bit, essentially as a hierarchical set of lists. This tends to fall apart a bit when things start not fitting into a neat hierarchy, so I fell out of using it. It also isn't well suited to longer-form notes which I found myself wanting to mix in. I'm quite interested in this sort of note taking organisation: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/ - it seems to better fit my internal thought process before bending it a bit to fit a mind-map application... I've not found something that quite works that way UX wise (his code is not published) and it'll be years before I get around to trying to write my own! There are apps out there that seem to enable implementing that sort of note making and linking method (https://github.com/churichard/notabase, and others mentioned in comments in the thread https://news.ycombinator

Hey, the creator of Notabase [1] here, which it looks like MdSilo was based off of. Your project looks cool! Always interesting to see how other people tackle note-taking. Thanks for keeping it open source. I'd encourage people to check out Notabase as well, which offers an alternative vision and UI which some people might like better. You can use it hosted, or self-host it yourself -- the code is open source [2]. Best of luck with MdSilo! :) [1]: https://notabase.io [2]: https://github.com/churichard/notabase

I'm making Notabase [1], which is a personal knowledge base for non-linear thinking. It's inspired by note-taking apps like Notion, Roam Research, and Obsidian. I started it because I wanted a note-taking app for networked thought / Zettelkasten that is easy to use for the average user (not the average Hacker News reader). So you don't need to use Markdown if you don't want to, you can format text in other ways like using the formatting toolbar or through keyboard shortcuts. And syncing between different devices is handled automatically for you since it's a web app. I also wanted to make it open source [2] so that anyone could look at the code and contribute to it if they wanted to. I'm not a big fan of the way that a lot of the apps in this space are closed source -- you don't really know what they're doing with your data, and it doesn't
