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

Looks good but I'll be sticking with vscodium+foam

Understandable, now I'm curious about what that is, could you elaborate?

[–] gadgetzombie@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Foam is essentially core Obsidian inside VSCode/VSCodium, no access to plugins etc but there are VSCode plugins you can use as a replacement i.e. GitDocs can replace the Obsidian Git Sync plugin

If you search for comparisons most are pretty outdated now, for example Foam does have a graph view but Obsidian will still pull ahead in terms of features.

The main advantage for me is having everything in one program especially on my work PC where I can't install Obsidian but I am allowed VSCode.

Cool, makes a lot of sense, thanks for the explanation.
