I can see your point, I should have clarified that I never use an external editor myself to edit the notes, I was just saying that you could do that if you needed to. I only export to Nextcloud so I can view it there just as I would have to save to Nextcloud if I was using Obsidian or some other file-based note-taking app.
I was just posting to get some eyes on the project in case there were some folks who wanted to join the community and help get things rolling even faster.
'🎁 An official backward-compatible TriliumNext Notes release should be available soon!’
Just one way since I have never found the need to edit the notes in Nextcloud
We actually plan to be able to do this! I am a OneNote convert and was able to convert everything to Trilium with quite minimal formatting issues.
I meant the title as a tounge and cheek reference, but I wasn’t obvious about it!
Thanks for the clear explanation, that makes sense to me. For me, I just use Trilium for all of the above, so it doesn’t affect me, but I could see how it would matter for those using it in the way you are 👍
This has been supported for a while using the Canvas Note Type.
I actually quite like the simplistic UI, but this is actually a focus of the new TriliumNext organization - to improve the UI.
I’ve never quite understood why this is such a non-starter for most people. I just simply set up a script to export my Trilium notes to Nextcloud as flat files so I can still read my notes anywhere even without a Trilium client. Trilium also allows you to edit the notes with an external editor, and then you can just re-import the note to update the note in Trilium.
I think note cloning is unique - note clones were a game changer for me. Directories are notes too so you can add content to them just like any other note. The biggest advantage for me: its open source Server syncing is free without needing to use third party solutions.
Is there a demo instance? I could use that for testing of it exists.
It’d on my list but the self hosting setup is not straightforward (no docker image yet)
I went through this as well. This resource should help those starting out: https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries
Future work on the project is being carried out in a new project called TriliumNext which had the blessing of the original developer. Trilium has a bright future in this fork 👍
Memos is actually quite a nice option: https://github.com/usememos/memos
Vault warden Send Pair drop is also neat (an airdrop replacement)
The issue could still be a fail-to-band issue if fail-to-band is looking at the user agent string (I’m not sure fail to ban looks at the user agent string, but it might be worth checking out.). The user agent string would likely be different on a mobile app versus a browser login.
Trilium for personal use cases. It is very easy to host, edit, and navigate. Public sharing is easy too.
You can always export all of your notes in markdown format, but the notes are always saved in a database.
