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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] zef@lemmy.world [S] 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) While I cannot give you an in depth comparison, I’m sure there’s a lot of overlap in functionality.

It has been the best solution for my use case for a while. Which is tasks, shopping, planning (trips, ..), recipes, and a simple knowledgebase. It was the offline support that set it apart from some other solutions I have the files in a syncthing folder, so I can access the files without running silverbullet My biggest problem is keeping up with all the changes. Zef made some youtube videos that are helpful permalink fedilink source parent [–] prcrst@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago I use it and love it. Having the metadata (tags, dates, ...) of your pages available to query and organize is awesome. I also love the tagged tasks feature. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Discover5164@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) i'm using it at work to take notes and write documentation. i think it's a fantastic app. i have it as a pwa and have at least one silverbullet for each desktop. i have ~100 notes perfectly organized in silverbullet! the only things i would change is compatability with other tools. there is no way to export to PDF, if you nees to convert the note to docx you need to copy paste everything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago Yes, I do and it's great. I just wrote a template for cooking recipes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] klassasin@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago I'm using it! I've been using it to track various household things and it's worked great so far! permalink fedilink source parent
