Its an app I've been building, I'm soft launching it next week. It fixes some of the issues I personally ran in to using Obsidian (and other apps) over the years
Most note apps sync through someone else's server. Mine syncs through Git. Your repo, your control, your history. No backend, no lock-in. Works on mobile too!
#privacy #pkm #notes #git #markdown #selfhosted
Built for everywhere: Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, iOS. Added scrubbing gestures for quick navigation on small screens. Plus a compact mode for tiny devices like the Unihertz Titan and Clicks Communicator!

I kept losing things in my own notes, search would show me one result per file and it was never the right one. So I fixed it -every line indexed, every match shown, instant and entirely offline! Feels pretty magical! β¨ Coming very soon.

As for restructuring + reorganising existing notes you could try something like claude code / gemini-cli.
Good luck!
Well I put most notes in to a journal (daily note. Eg: meetings, important conversations, interesting tech or ideas etc). Important timeless notes (reference notes) get their own pages (journal entries link to reference notes for your knowledge graph).
Lean on journaling for time specific notes? Although obsidian isn't really the ideal tool for that
Your notes shouldn't live on someone else's server. I've been working on something to fix that and it's very nearly ready!

I'm also pretty new to Helix and loving it. The selection->action motions feel great. The IDE is almost perfect out of the box. The only thing I'm really missing is ai code completions and flutter debugging. I've tried the ai lsp's for completions but they seem to have been abandoned.

I was indeed trying to "fudge" the test to match the unexpected results rather than understanding why we're not getting the expected state transitions. That's the wrong approach.
PSA: Don't get lazy with code reviews! Just caught claude code quietly changing my tests to force a pass. π€¦

What's your "no one but me remembers" game?
Not sure if this qualifies as it isn't entirely obscure, but Sacrifice from Shiny Entertainment back in 2000 was an absolute gem! A first person strategy game that was totally original and had some of the best multiplayer I've ever experienced! π₯
