https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide Markdown-oxide is the second most popular markdown language server (by github star count). It is written in rust and provides knowledge management utilities through the LSP, adhering to and compatible with Obsidian.md . Many people who like neovim/zed/helix, don't like Obsidian's editor, and do like Obsidian's philosophy use it. I created markdown-oxide 3 years ago and have been maintaining it since then. For the past year, I've also been working at Exa.ai, organizing the web (building independent web search) in Rust. Before starting at Exa, I was in high school and had several hours per week to work on markdown-oxide. Now, I work 14 hours per day, 5.5 days per week on web search (I love my work) and only have time to resolve issues semi-consistently. I envision an amazing future for markdown

oxide, but I don't have time to create it. Now that 1 AI makes using knowledge graphs (like obsidian) not tedious, 2 it can use tools very well (like the oxide MCP that I have in a PR), and 3 it can automate many annoying parts of personal knowledge management (copying, formatting, tagging, ...), I think that Markdown-Oxide can become 10x more useful to >10x more people. Also I'm really sad that oxide issues are not getting the attention they deserve. I believe that there exists a person who can make markdown-oxide an amazing product and scale it an impressive amount. I also envision this person as a high-school aged Rust/philosophy nerd like I was when I made this project - though this is not required of course. Also, I can afford to pay someone $500/month for this (which I'd hope is decent for this individual). I'm writing this post at 2:45am in SF to try to find an inspired Rust/Philosophy enthusiast to re-modernize Markdown-Oxide and keep it's users happy + get paid a little ($500/month)

The PKM space for neovim plugins is a surprisingly deep rabbithole but it can take quite a while to find what you need. For completions and tagging https://github.com/Feel-ix-343/markdown-oxide works well for me and does pretty much everything I need. There are also a glut of all-in-one solutions like https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg (org-mode for neovim) and https://github.com/epwalsh/obsidian.nvim. Graphing is a bit harder because it doesn't intuitively match up with nvim's interface, but I'm pretty sure I saw something on Reddit the other day.
