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 
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,
Iām 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. Iāve started using it for personal notes and Iām thinking of using it in a professional context too. Incidentally, I donāt work in the IT world. A tool like this can therefore attract far more than just the āhackerā community. 
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 
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 wonāt be original in saying that itās attachment management thatās perhaps the most important missing element.
Merci encore Ć toutes et tous !
Hi, Iām Alex
I work as a software developer for the last 35 years. About 10 years Iām taking notes. At different periods Iāve been using Evernote, Notion, Obsidian, Logseq, back to Obsidian, back to Logseq and now itās SilverBullet. Iām constantly scanning ānotetaking spaceā and someone mentioned SilverBullet. At the time Iāve 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 donāt need to change the whole thing any more, but just add some code to tweak things.
I just found this about seven minutes ago. I am a long-time wiki and logseq user and was looking for something simpler. I am a former teacher and now work from home in the New Orleans area.
Hi everyone! As many before me, Iām a current Logseq user. I think I saw a post on Reddit about Silver Bullet and a mention on the Logseq Discord.
Currrently looking for a way to host a graph-based note-taking application and SB seems to have all the functionalities that I currently use in Logseq as well, with the benefit that the files live on the server instead of the client. The PWA is neat, but I donāt expect to neat it a lot and it makes me more afraid of conflicts too.
I also believe that the fact that itās developed in a more popular language is a benefit (despite loving functional programming, so I do have somewhat of a soft spot for ClojureScript).
What draws me most to SB is the hooks-system. During the pandemic Iāve played a lot of D&D using Foundry VTT (Virtual Tabletop). It also had a very extensive API and hooks system, that made it very easy to write macroās and plugins. If SBās extensibility is going to be on par, than that will definitely be a big plus for me.
A (very) minor disadvantage is that I do like pretty software and SB is not that nice looking yet. I reckon a little CSS can fix that though, so Iām happy the focus is on functionality and not implementing a bunch of themes for different people.
Currently trying out SB on my laptop, but plan to host it on a low-consumption server once I get all the parts in.
Hello all. Wanted to say thanks to Zef and the whole community for working so hard to make and improve this thing.
Iām just a good ole boy from the U.S., from a small town in Mississippi and now living in Texas. In my 40s I realized I had ADHD and when I got a diagnosis and some medication, everything turned around for me. Now at 48 I have taught myself some Python, learned some CAD and have two 3D printers, and I am about to graduate with a BS in Psychology and Iām applying for grad school.
I found out about Silverbullet almost by accident. I found myself watching a YouTube video about notetaking apps that specifically focused on open source, free-to-use apps that saved files in plain text. This sounded great, since I had looked at the ones Iām sure everyone has heard of but didnāt like the idea of putting my personal things on other peopleās servers in proprietary format. Silverbullet was mentioned at the end as something the maker of the video had just heard of, didnāt know much about, but felt it was very promising. Sorry I donāt remember the name of the channel right off. If I remember it or find it I may edit this, but they only had like three videos uploaded and havenāt added anything for a while.
I make a lot of notes and reminders in my phoneās notes app, but I am CONSTANTLY hounded to back everything up to Googleās cloud, even though I have said no every time it keeps asking, and I am tired of having to tell it no repeatedly. I also like the idea of not having to email screenshots of notes or copy & paste or whatever else I have to do to get all my stuff in one place.
I have been putzing around with SB for about a week now, learning Linux at the same time because I finally got a bellyful of Windows as well, and I have gotten online and accessed it from my phone and work PC, and been playing with getting my head around things like space script and making it look the way I want.
I feel like one of those novices from the great mystery schools of the past, when the secrets were hidden in the texts and you had to read between the lines and figure out what it all really meant, in order to prove yourself worthy of initiation. I see all the brilliant folks here making it look so easy, and I feel like I have found myself amongst wizards and warlocks But I keep reading the docs, and Iām getting it figured out.
Thanks again, Zef, for the great app and the fun puzzle! It helps keep the brain young!
Hey guys, I am Archie,
I started Obsidian to make a PKB for myself around 2021. At that time I was very new to the idea. I liked its local first approche very much, but didnāt know about FOSS programs. I started on Windows and moved to Linux. I recently found out about SB as I was asking about alternatives, I specially looking for a way to access my vaults from web without publicly publishing them for everyone. The ideas around this app are awesome. I think getting rid of an electron app to write notes is a good step. But there are many things to figure out until finally fully move my workflow from Obsidian to here.
I hope I can learn from you guys.
Hello, Iām Mario from Mexico, and I work as an IT Manager.
Iāve been trying out SilverBullet for about a week now, and I have to say, Iām loving it. Before this, Iāve used quite a few note-taking apps like Evernote, OneNote, and Joplin. But when I started hosting my own applications on my NAS and wanted something that supports markdown, I made the switch. I used Obsidian for a year until I stumbled upon SilverBullet in a Reddit comment. After checking out the docs and watching Zefās tutorials, I found the query and template features really handy for organizing my day-to-day notes on a front page.
One of the aspects I appreciate most about SilverBullet is its accessibility that allows me to access my notes from any location without the need for supplementary installations.
Hi All,
Iām Ian, based in the UK, am a technical trainer, have been a consultant and worked in most areaās of IT in my long career/ Thanks to Zef for this very interesting app, Iāve been through all the usual suspects and am now looking for something simpler. Silverbullet looks excellent, am looking forward to tweaking and building this out.
Cheers
Ian
Hi, Iām Ben, based in the US. I had been looking for a solid but simple self-hostable PKM and after trialing a few Silverbullet was my favorite by far. Thanks to Zef for putting this together.
Iām Akos, from Germany a tech enthusiast who loves exploring creative and technical pursuits. from cooking hot&spicy dishes to diving into 3D printing&Laser engraving and home automation projects.
I discovered SilverBullet while browsing Awesome-Selfhosted, searching for self-hosted apps to break free from Big Tech monopolies like Apple and Google. SilverBullet stood out with its lightweight, modular approach, and Iāve been hooked ever since. Itās a powerful tool that lets me shape my workflows exactly how I want.
A massive congratulations to @zef and the whole community for creating and maintaining such an outstanding project! Itās a privilege to be part of this journey, and Iām excited to see how SilverBullet evolves in the future.
Looking forward to connecting with this amazing community, exchanging ideas, and seeing how everyone else uses SilverBullet to make their lives more organised and creative!
