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

Has anyone used both Obsidian and Trillium? I use Obsidian, so that's my reference point here.

How does using Trillium feel compared to Obsidian? Rich text is nice, but I actually like how much Obsidian gets out of your way.

Edit: Hmm, so hierarchy trees means things need to be in one place on the tree, but it can be "cloned" so it can have multiple locations on the tree. That seems like a very complicated way to day "in obsidian, you can link any note to any other note." Am I misunderstanding anything here?

How's the conversion process? I have a lot of notes lol, and I find the [[Link]] format very convenient. It looks like this only wants to use text, which is fine but it very slightly breaks my train of writing thought as I prepare the link properly.

I used to use both obsidian and logseq the rich text of trilium isn't that rich it is practically markdown but made simpler with a menu, more like the obsidian mobile app. Practically trilium isn't strictly hierarchy based, if you wanted you could just slap everything in one folder and link what you want. The clone feature comes handy form people like me that have to have everything neatly organized so if I want a note in 2 folders at the same time I can do that. Sadly the [[link]] format isn't supported as of now but it has its own internal linking, just press ctrl+L and link away. I hope this helps, maybe it's not the perfect option for you but I would love if you could spread the word, Thank you very much

@da_g Yeah, I actually basically do slap everything in one folder on Obsidian lol. I love that I don't need to spend time organizing folders, but I still find things easily by taking "paths" through my vault!

Ah, no [[links]]? Well. I'm a couple thousand notes deep on that format hahah.

I don't think this is for me, but I've given your post a boost and an upvote! Good luck!

I tried that method but it hurt my brain, logseq practically forces you to use that because of its lack of folders.

For what I know [[links]] are not supported sorry, maybe in the future. But still I don't know very much lol.

No worries I appreciate immensely the help that you gave, thanks.
