I’ve used SB for a few years now. Prior to SB I’ve used Obsidian, Foam, Bear, and probably a few more.
I love SB for the ability to quickly add a note and to find a note (including via Silversearch).
But I’ve found myself missing a few things
Putting notes in a structure. I don’t like MOCs. I like the concept of a tree like trilium where a note can exist in several places, haven’t tried it though.
Some functionality regarding journals, e.g. flick through entries, easily see and access journal tags
Would you recommend trying to find peace, and workflows with SB, or trying out a different tool?
You can have folders in SilverBullet, and MrRed’s document explorer can then help you navigate those folders, but I don’t think there’s any way currently to have a file in multiple locations…
But since these are ultimately just files on a computer, I wonder if you could write a plugin to setup symlinks for you
I like silverbullet for data portability and simplicity and modern looks. I dislike that it does not aid me in writing organized content such as a wiki, book or journal. If I create a note for a wiki I need to remember to add it to the wiki. I have no easy way to browse my journal.
I like trilium for hierarchy and rich features such as calendar views. I dislike that it looks a bit unpolished and that the data is not very portable and that it has many features I don't need (e.g. note sharing, password protection).
I'm switching to trilium. I hope I will come back in the future if the features I'm looking for become part of silverbullet or plugins.
Silverbullet has been one of my favorite pieces of software and I am very impressed by how cohesive and solid the product feels. I'm just missing a few features that I feel I can't be without. Thanks!
