Hey folks! I’m completely new to Lemmy and still figuring out how everything works around here... But I’d love to share a project I’ve been building.

It's called VOID (Versatile Open-source Infrastructure for Developers) - an open-source, local-first second-brain (note taking app but more powerful) application that combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the powerful organization of Notion.

Unlike many other tools, VOID is not just another note-taking app. It’s built with the idea of being a true second brain that you fully control. No vendor lock-in, no hidden cloud, no feature walls. Everything is open-source, customizable, and designed to adapt to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s.

I'm currently building it with Rust, Tauri v2 and Vue.js. For certain plugins and configs, it also supports SurrealDB as a database.

This is a mandatory comment about Emacs' org mode since .org files are extremely similar in syntax to .md and can be interconverted extremely easily.

This is great intel, thank you.

If you deem .org to be sufficient and want to use Emacs^1^ itself, there is an extension for the zettelkasten method of note taking that you might find useful.


1: Despite originating with the Emacs community, .org files are recognized by many (most?) IDEs, but I'm not sure if extensions are regularly ported to non-Lisp editors.
