Hey folks! I’m completely new to Lemmy and still figuring out how everything works around here... But I’d love to share a project I’ve been building.
It's called VOID (Versatile Open-source Infrastructure for Developers) - an open-source, local-first second-brain (note taking app but more powerful) application that combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the powerful organization of Notion.
Unlike many other tools, VOID is not just another note-taking app. It’s built with the idea of being a true second brain that you fully control. No vendor lock-in, no hidden cloud, no feature walls. Everything is open-source, customizable, and designed to adapt to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s.
I'm currently building it with Rust, Tauri v2 and Vue.js. For certain plugins and configs, it also supports SurrealDB as a database.

Again I will ask you the question you've been dodging, why are American open-source projects given a free pass? If you tell me you just as aggressively police posts by USians, Australians, Canadians, Britons, etc in regards to the genocide in Gaza then I will understand your position. But if not, why not?
I don't think it's valid to dismiss it as whataboutism, when it is the most relevant direct comparison that can be made. I consistently see Russian citizens harassed for not doing enough when the same does not occur to USians that call themselves apolitical. I see those projects make my existence as a trans person political and forbid me and my kin from speaking up about harassment, only to have the community make excuses about why that's all okay. I see Russians kicked out of kernel maintainer positions while American companies that support the Israeli regime are allowed to continue.
@princessnorah Show me a russian who is doing something about it, and I will show you an American who is doing something about it. Let's see how long we could play this game.
Btw this whole time it would have been soooooooooo easy to prove me wrong:

Show me that russians can do the right thing. I want to be wrong about this.
