How did you find out about SilverBullet?

I realized that due to the complete lack of tracking, even on the main website I have little way to even find out if there’s a big influx of people coming in and where they’re coming from. Over the last few days or weeks I see more community signups than before.

So, how did you all find out about SilverBullet?

I saw a recommendation post about Silverbullet on the selfhosted subreddit on Reddit, and I’m glad I discovered it!

Did you discover it on YouTube itself?

I saw it mentioned kind of randomly on the selfhosted subreddit.

Got curious, saw that it ticked all my boxes, gave it a try and loved it!

I found silver bullet while looking for a self hosted but simple to setup and use equipment tracking solution. Homebox was what I was almost going to settle on, but then out of the corner of my eye I saw someone on reddit mention silver bullet. I played around with it and realized it can also replace my Obsidian for note taking.

Someone I follow on GitHub starred Superbullet.

It didn’t really impress me at first since I’ve been using Logseq, and the documentation looked quite plain with no visuals. However, after missing the convenience of having identical docs on both my phone and desktop, I started exploring all my PKM options more closely. In the end, I found that Superbullet fits my needs the best.

on the selfhosted subreddit, I was looking for alternatives to obsidian/ a self hosted pkm

Someone mentioned it at work (we have an internal PKM email group)!

that’s super cool!

also Reddit (I forget which sub)

I first found it while looking for Obsidian alternatives. I ignored it when Zef mentioned it couldn’t run fully offline on my phone without connecting to a server. I came back to it when it became a PWA.

I was showing my manager my slightly ludicrous obsidian-with-dataview setup for “track my projects with a pile of markdown”, and he said it reminded him of one of your videos, which he saw from somewhere else in our company’s (rather active) Personal Knowledge Management community.

I was looking for an alternative of Logseq and found SilverBullet in Yunohost catalog.

Had beed using Trilium for a few years and generally happy with it, but when it went into maintenance mode (which in itself is fine), i started looking around via various websites and forums as i wanted something more standardised format for the notes and have been using Markdown for a long time so it was perfect :slight_smile:

Also liken the customisation and ability to make it as complex or simple as required
