  1. Today I've been testing @plainva :
    Good points:
    - beautiful interface
    - open source
    - just text files, no db storage
    - good imports
    - markdown + frontmatter for metadata
    - has many sync options on things you may already be using
    - supports *basic* queries over frontmatter from items and various rendering results options
    - android app (beta) haven't tried it yet
    Bad points:
    - no plugin ecosystem
    - queries can be a bit limited

    So far, it's ticking almost everything i wanted with nice extras.

  2. So I've been using #LogSeq fue a while now you write down my things. I can track stuff that i need to track, tasks, take notes and maybe write up longer texts. Open Source, based on markdown files that i version controlled and synced using git. But they transitioned to a DB format. Like #Joplin. Like #Trilium. And that's a pain because for some performance gains, i lose the ability to sync files, edit and futureproof my thoughts. Which means i might have to go back to #Obsidian because they still keep markdown files as the source of truth. And I'm mad because it's not open source.

    So dear mastodoners, do you have suggestions of #PKM personal knowledge management systems that
    - are foss
    - have an android app
    - use markdown files as a base

    Please Boost.

    Also, dear @joplinapp why the db ? Joplin is really close to what I want. But i just can't depend on a specific app to access my content.

    EDIT: I will make a thread with this hashtag if you're interested #BestPKM #PKM
