Check Logseq for an open source alternative to Obsidian: https://github.com/logseq/logseq

Maybe ill have to give it another try, but each time I've tried it, it wasn't particularly intuitive. I couldn't figure out how to turn off the bullet points on all notes. I'm sure there's a setting somewhere but that's such an odd default that I never investigated further.

Logseq raised a lot of VC money and has started turning the screws. They switched from Markdown files to and database, and their sync is paid and closed source.

Hm, it looks nice too, but that's another "freemium open source" app with a pro version that will eventually be enshittified, I would bet.

  • It has no Pro version, and I believe their plan is to monetize it through an optional Sync service, which is fair, since it actually costs money to keep it running.
