  1. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

    I'm using acreom for my note taking. Would highly recommend. You can still use github for backups.

    I study CS and a fellow student hosts a Wiki.js server where we summarize lecture information. Wiki js supports mermaid markdown preview out-of-the-box too and for us the big advantage of mermaid diagrams is that the mermaid diagrams are search-indexed, while the content of pictures would obviously not be search-indexed.

    Others recommend Obsidian, I recommend https://logseq.com/ Its open source and filebased, so even without the program, you can read every note. Its save in Markdown. And I you tried Obsidian you can simply use the Obsidian-Vault and you can switch between both programs. I'm syncing with my nextcloud on the desktops and with Syncthing on my smartphone. But they have a paid sync-service as well thats beta currently. I'm not using that one :).
