I wouldn't show it as an alternative to Obsidian though. It shares MD files with it and both are supposedly about note taking ("supposedly" is for Obsidian, I haven't tried Files.md yet), but Files.md seems to have its own way of making the users work with their thoughts, notes and knowledge altogether.
When I read "an alternative", I assumed feature-parity and API compatibility. But what I found out was entirely different and much more interesting.
I'll give it a try, thanks for sharing your year-old work!

- pulse-dev 4mo agoMaybe something like "self-hosted markdown notes you fully own" or "personal knowledge server"? Leans into the ownership angle instead of competing with Obsidian on features.
- zakirullin 4mo agoWell, that sounds great, actually.

Thanks for a good observation! Indeed, I don't position it as Obsidian alternative. I don't know a better pitch for it just yet. For me that's something about: simplicity, lazy flow of adding things, readiness to use out of the box. To focus on what works, and not what is fancy.
- jedimastert 4mo agoI would say "open source markdown knowledge-base similar to Obsidian" but I'm not a marketing guy
- bastijn 4mo agoYour markdown notes without the circus. The boringly simple knowledge base.
