Introductions

Hi,

I am Matto, I am retired, but still work as a. freelance writer for the Dutch Linux Magazine.

Although I am an Emacs user, I think Silverbullet might be a nice system for me, because I love to tinker with my tools :slight_smile:

Just installed Silverbullet, and have not much experience with it.

I think it is wonderful that Silverbullet is made available under an open source licence. A big thank you for that!

Hi,

Iā€™m dot, from France.

Many thanks to Zef and the whole community for this wonderful tool that I discovered over the summer, thanks to @fflorent and his package for Yunohost. Iā€™ve started using it for personal notes and Iā€™m thinking of using it in a professional context too. Incidentally, I donā€™t work in the IT world. A tool like this can therefore attract far more than just the ā€œhackerā€ community. :wink:

During my first few weeks of use, I based my use of SilverBullet on a misunderstanding: using sync mode, I thought I had to switch to online mode from time to time to synchronize with the server :sweat_smile:

Now that I understand the use of sync mode better, I find that it really does bring together the best of both worlds and avoids the need to use a third-party synchronization solution (like Nextcloud), as I had to set up with LogSeq.

To perfect my use of SilverBullet, I need to define the best strategy for organizing my notes (tags, attributes, folders, linksā€¦) but this issue is not specific to SilverBullet and applies to all software (I saw that there was a topic on this subject).

To my mind, SilverBullet is already very feature-rich and sufficient for regular use. I wonā€™t be original in saying that itā€™s attachment management thatā€™s perhaps the most important missing element.

Merci encore Ć  toutes et tous !

Hi, Iā€™m Alex

I work as a software developer for the last 35 years. About 10 years Iā€™m taking notes. At different periods Iā€™ve been using Evernote, Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, back to Obsidian, back to Logseq and now itā€™s SilverBullet. Iā€™m constantly scanning ā€œnotetaking spaceā€ and someone mentioned SilverBullet. At the time Iā€™ve been looking for something that would work as a web service and it was a perfect fit. The hackability adds the beauty to it. It feels like I donā€™t need to change the whole thing any more, but just add some code to tweak things. :slight_smile:
