Trilium - hierarchical note taking application with focus on building large personal knowledge bases

This looks great, I'd love this on Cloudron.
-
I have packaged this for Cloudron. I have been using the desktop version for sometime and the Cloudron app is the natural extension of the app. Providing a web interface and the full sync capability to and from the desktop app.
Repo is here

For "Trillium" read "Trilium" --- please edit this issue title accordingly. -
I did a little research. As far as I can see, it could not handle PDF files. just images. Am I right or did I miss something?
-
@Captain-Kirk nope it can manage pdf files too. Attach to notes it can't render them but you can version control open and download pdfs.
-
@ultraviolet Thanks! That would be enough for me.
-
@ultraviolet Thanks! Published as unstable. New repo is at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/trilium-app . You should have access already.

@seeker Joplin is the best of the FOSS option IMHO.
Personally, I'm all-in on Ulysses but that's Mac & iOS only, and closed-source and paid if that's an issue.
Otherwise, iA Writer is the best of the cross-platform, offline apps, bunch that I know of.
My main requirement is the .mk files retain their file names and folder structures in a way I can edit with multiple apps as needed, which Joplin doesn't do.
Atom / VS Code and a Git app like Working Copy is another way.
-
@marcusquinn I see. I can imagine how keeping the file names and folder structure intact would allow you to use any program to manipulate the files.

When I started using notes, I wanted to have them as text files in order to have them in a simple format and find the editor that would feel the most natural for my workflow.I have used Joplin, Typora, Zettlr, FocusWriter. And I settled on Joplin for some time. I think I moved out because of sync issues and also because the interface was a bit too terse for my liking.
I then tried Obsidian.md (and its extension) which blew out all of these, but unfortunately is not free software.
This experience changed my priorities, and I moved to Trilium because as it's not text based, you can use advanced workflow (for example, create everyday a note with the current date, but the best is to check out the demo content from Trilium), have notes appearing in multiple place in a tree structure (which I discovered was important for me) and is super scriptable.

I also hoped there would be an android app, but it's not the case. The mobile version is really usable though, so eventually I'd like to help make it a PWA.

I guess you could "install" it as a browser app so it has its own button and auto logs in?
I do this with lots of forums I use regularly.
