If it's free and open source and it's also software, it can be discussed here. Subcommunity of Technology.

With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I'd prefer something a bit more streamlined

A bit of a self promo (I’m the main author), but you may also want to look at SilverBullet as alternative: https://silverbullet.md/

Bit more technical than EverNote. More like Obsidian, but 100% open source and self hosted.

That landing page is pretty clever BTW.

What would you say are the best reasons to prefer your app over obsidian?

It’s an offline capable PWA. So it works on any device that has a modern web browser with having to install anything (on the client). It’s open source software. It’s just different.

I suspected the site was a demo of what the software LOOKED like, then I got to the part where y’all say it’s functional. That’s a REALLY cool way to do an intro!

Do you support MathJax/LaTeX, toggles, and embedding images? If so, I might just switch off of Obsidian.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Latex yes: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet-katex

Not sure what you mean with toggles.

And embedded images: yes. Just drag and drop or copy and paste them.

Thank you for the reply!

This is what I mean by toggles.
