A new local-first, privacy-focused and open-source home for your markdown notes - chroxify/haptic

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 have notes fairly sporadically all over the place. Some for work for compartmentalised projects that I won’t need to see again once the project is done. Then for personal creative projects. Then for personal research projects. I like tracking data for sure. I’d prefer to have one central place for everything. I like things organised and get very into organisation but I’d love some kind of AI organisation element. Not sure either of these do that though. I do have my own server and like self hosting. I do care about foss but will sometimes choose a more appropriate tool over a foss one. I need the data on my phone and accessible either on a cloud or syncable or something. I’m currently dipping my toe into Obsidian with syncthing/Dropbox. I won’t pay for any monthly fees but don’t mind paying one off payments.

      I think you should give Trilium(Next) Notes a try:

      • it has the hierarchical notes structure that you are familiar with in obsidian

      • it has better ways of keeping things organized (attributes can be values or references, can be shared and inherited, which provides a flexible framework for having notes “types” as templates that can be extended, e.g. people vs. colleagues, businesses vs. companies, etc)

      • it has the concept of note hoisting (which lets you focus on a note and its sub-notes, so other projects/spaces don’t come in the way of autocomplete and placing references), and workspaces that builds further on top of that

      • it can be used standalone (local client/offline-only, like obsidian) but coupling it with a remote-server opens more interesting use-cases (synching, sharing notes with others by public URLs, one-user/multi-client editing) which gives the best of both worlds (local-first/online-first) and lets you access your personal notes on devices you don’t necessarily own (which obsidian doesn’t). The mobile app story isn’t great (it’s a PWA with limited offline capabilities at the moment), but isn’t worse than the alternatives either (I can’t really work and think long form on a handheld, no matter the editor experience, but perhaps that’s just me).
