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!

I'm back to silverbullet. There is no perfect tool 🙂
