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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TCB13 7 points 1 year ago

Cool! Keep it that way.

A note taking app with waifus? Seems necessary.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The closest I saw was Trilium Notes to Obsidian.

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

[–] ElPussyKangaroo 1 points 1 year ago

True.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 points 1 year ago

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🤌🏼💯.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting.

I'll see if it works. 💯

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could x-post to @foss Looks cool! Good work!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 :)
