I released Treedome 0.3, an open source, local only, encrypted note taking app!

https://gitlab.com/treedome/treedome/-/releases

I was inspired by CherryTree to make my own note taking app. Please play around with this application, I welcome your feedback and issues.

Not that I claim Treedome to be any better than CherryTree. I'm trying my best to solve some of the pain points when using CherryTree, according to my daily usage.

Not looking for a new note-taking app but givin you a boost since it’s always great to have new projects in the mix. Keep up the good work!

I made an AUR PKGBUILD for it so it's easier to install on Arch

Omg that was quick, thank you! Please make an issue in the repo so I won't forgot to add it to installation.md

alycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 15 pts · 3y

Done! I've added some more issues as well

This is super cool!

I took a look, as an avid Obsidian user interested in an open-source tool, and saw that one key difference is your emphasis on encrypted notes, which I suspect is part of why notes are stored in SQLite rather than as plain markdown files.

I think that might be something to call out in docs somewhere, since Obsidian (and Logseq) are popular note-taking apps, as one key feature difference between your app and those.

Yes, it's stored as a binary object instead of markdown because of that! The changes I made to migrate the whole backend from ReDB to Sqlite is still very new, thanks for reminding me to mention it in the docs!

Can we use Syncthing to sync that sqlite file?

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 10 pts · 3y (1 reply)

You can use anything you want to sync it, seriously! The application only reads a single file with .note extension.

TCB13@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

Cool! Keep it that way.

To be honest that exact choice is going to put off the vast majority of potential users

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 3 pts · 3y

Thats okay, my target audience is myself and a bit more. I realized I cant please everyone, but at least some will love it.

But then again, its for demo purposes, obviously you can insert any picture you want.

A note taking app with waifus? Seems necessary.

I use Obsidian regularly but one issue I have is that image handling is not easy.

I love the Canvas plugin... Maybe in the future, you could do something like that too?

Edit: Is it available on Windows?

ReakDuck@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The closest I saw was Trilium Notes to Obsidian.

There is Logseq too but the file management is just too different.

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

True.

They all are kind of based around the same concept in a sense- markdown notes...

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Just saw Obisidian Canvas, wow. it's probably another whole application inside of Treedome, so Doing it ourselves would be a tremendous challenge. Definitely need the help of the community on this one, or at least we need to find a NPM package that has a similar function to it. Draw.io maybe?

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Ikr?! I used to use OneNote before and I still miss the image handling of OneNote compared to Obsidian.

I really hope someone who knows how to do it pops up🤌🏼💯.

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I haven't tried it on windows, but I think it's possible to build it yourself. I have tried it in Linux and Mac only for now.

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Interesting.

I'll see if it works. 💯

I could not find Windows binaries. Could you provide them with your releases?

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 2 pts · 3y

As of right now i havent built the application on windows yet. But its definitely on the horizon now that people requests it lol

DM_Gold@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I use Notion for organizing my DnD campaign. Love how this is looking so far. I'll add a feature request for linking to other pages, and implementation of a table in each note. Thanks for your work!

tengkuizdihar@discuss.online · 2 pts · 3y

Don't forget to check the help section of the escape menu. For example, you can use ctrl+shift+p to quickly access your notes by title.

Merlin@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

Thanks for this :)

I’m am a big fan of rust and tauri. Nice to see it being used here. I’ll definitely give this a try :)
