minus-squareasap@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-211 months ago You’re describing now a larger scope of requirement I am not. I am saying data storage format is a basic, critical factor. And it is. And I already know you agree on this, which is why you choose FOSS options with known, open formats.

minus-squareasap@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoNot relevant to you, but relevant to others who might require local plaintext files, rather than a database. Which brings us right back to apples and oranges 😘
minus-squareUmbrias@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoI don’t think you know what apples and oranges means, but if it means you’re satisfied with the conversation then happy day. Use the software that works best for you. If dealing with a database is too much for whatever else you’re doing, feel free to use something else.
minus-squareasap@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoObsidian, Zettlr, and Logseq live in the category of local plain-text file-based PKMs. Trilium lives in the category of local database-based PKMs. The reason the first category exists is that people wanted to get out of vendor and file lock-in. Apples and oranges.
