SilverBullet: a self-hosted personal knowledge management system for people with a hacker mindset

IntroductionSilverBullet is a note-taking application optimized for people with a hacker mindset. We all take notes. There’s a million note taking applications out there. Literally. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one where your notes are more than plain tex

Well I have for the last two years, but I’m biased because I wrote it 🤓

I'd be curious to see comparison with Logseq. As it's rightly mentioned, there are thousands of note taking apps and I’m not quite sure I see the selling point of SB. I really love the idea of notes as a database, but the query langauage seems subpar, more akin to obsidian's dataview than the overwhelming power of tiddlywiki's filters or Logseq's queries.

I went from evernote to tiddlywiki to Obsidian to Logseq and somewhat stuck here now because I got the powerful queries in a very neat UI. With the market oversaturated as it is, I'd be nice to see what Silverbullet brings to the game that others don’t, what are the distinguishing features.

While I cannot give you an in depth comparison, I’m sure there’s a lot of overlap in functionality. Where I think things are heading in a relatively novel direction is with the recent improvements I’ve been making to templates. While long, this video gives a reasonable sense of what that can do and I’d say it’s early days: https://youtu.be/ZiM1RM0DCgo?si=qL795lyKNe9HwoxI
