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

Thanks, actually it made a big strides towards being less hierarchical, you can put everything in a folder and use internal links now, plus it has relationship links that are very useful some times. Regarding it using a database instead of a file system it has a bunch of pros but has its cons too, in my opinion there should be a feature were you can use both and if you use the file system in one of your notes, the note is less powerful so that you can use both the database and the the file system. Lastly the phone app is a bit of a sore point for me too, I just write stuff in markdown and then import them in as soon as I can. If you want to check it out again it would be amazing if not thank you anyways for you comment, appreciate it

Ah, good to know!

Yeah, I 100% understand and respect the reasoning behind doing it that way but it's just not something I can get fully behind myself. As a developer myself, I wouldn't want to support both code paths so I also get why it isn't really a priority.

That's fair, do you just use something like Obsidian or GitJournal? I need to look into those at some point.

That all said, I think I'm entrenched too deeply into my current solution to reconsider but I might spin up an instance to check it out. Thanks for the heads-up!

No problem at all. I actually use logseq on my phone just because it's FOSS.
