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.

check it out on my GitHub

I saw you picked SurrealDB, what has been your experience with that so far?

[–] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I really like SurrealDB. It has amazing compatibility with rust + tauri and can be used in file mode with rocksDB. For my usecase it fits the best. I love static types)

hi there, how it does compare with silverbullet?

https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet

like in the readme you say 'no server' then how do i use it on multiple devices?

i saw the editor video, cool, is way less snappy than silverbullet. in silverbullet they immediately render the markdown and that makes the cursor jump a bit.

I will create docker container for selfhosted synchronisation/collaboration server, and as option add p2p synchronization/collaboration. About silverbullet, didn’t try it, sorry

I will definitely be checking this out!

This looks cool, and I like your thoughts on it! Are you planning on an Android release too, somewhere down the road?

[–] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Yep, android version is already in my roadmap! I'll start building it after VOID's beta-release

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Cool, I've been considering something like that, I was set on using trillium but now I guess I'll also give this one a shot !

What's wrong with just notes in markdown in vim or helix?

What's the difference compared to Trilium?
