Haptic: A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes - eviltoast

This seems like a solid choice for those of use looking for a obsidian-like replacement. Personally tried all editors out there, but nothing is able to defeat my love for obsidian. However, i look forwards to trying out Haptic when it comes to Linux. Currently it only supports Web and Mac. But state Linux and Windows support is on-the-way.

    I like it, it seems pretty stable to me. I didn’t use it much before the query/template stuff was changed. I think both are fine right now, but don’t really know what it looked like before.

    There’s also “space-script” now which is basically like mini javascript plugins you can write inside your notes. It’s what drew me away from trilium in the end.

    I don’t blame you for taking a break if you ran into breaking changes though. That’s one benefit to keeping your notes in regular markdown files too.

      yes, regular markdown notes has been a good decision 😅

      In the beginning, the query results were stored in the markdown files, which could be useful if reading them in another app. But now I just get the query code. I think there were reasons

      I’m glad to hear things have cooled down. Does it take much effort to understand and use the templating stuff? I just remember templates got pushed to a different view, and I needed some header tags to get it working

      So you like spaces or not? I never got that far with silverbullet. And I haven’t used Trillium. I loved evernote when it came out. But it made me aware of the value of maintaining my own data.

      Now I try to have data in a directory structure and not in databases
