Trilium is an awesome, self-hosted, open source note taking app and editor. Use it to take notes, code, organise data, and even preview webpages.
In this video I talk through the features, show you how to deploy it, and even give a quick overview of how to create various types of notes.

Wish you would have gone more into details about the Attributes feature... That's a really cool feature! And "possibly" makes Trilium an alternative for Notion and Coda. Also differences with Logseq - which seems to have a more or less identical feature set? - would have been interesting. All the same: good video. 👍

This was a great review of Trillium! I think I'm still sticking with logseq because nothing else has come close to the usefulness of queries in datalog

I know it's a short Google away, but it would be good of you to directly link to the source repo too, to acknowledge those contributors.

Yeah i was wondering when you would get to it. Its pretty awesome i have it for my notes, but i have slowly moved from note taking to knowledge management.... Trilium seems to kind of put one step in each side which makes it a little confusing. A couple of issues from trilium is that it doesnt have user management for homelab for a household. Ive started to look more at outline, im still using trilium for the time being till i test out outline.

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

True, users would be a welcome addition. I have previously used bookstack, that was a good alternative.

I’m mostly interested in writing in markdown and being able to drag and drop images into my notes. It doesn’t seem that Trillium has either feature, which is a shame.

@Jims-Garage 26 күн бұрын

It does both. Images are drag and drop, markdown just select it as the type.

Nice overview. Im currently using joplin which I really like but will give this a whirl. Shame there isn't an android app as this would make it truly functional across devices. Do you know if there's a web clipper?

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

Joplin is great, I used to use it but wanted something simpler in a web GUI. The mobile web interface means you don't need an app, which is great. There's a trilium chrome extension for web clipping. chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/trilium-web-clipper/dfhgmnfclbebfobmblelddiejjcijbjm

Its a shame that there isn't a android app for mobile use/sync. And i am missing local ai support. Somehow I have the feeling that obsidian or logseq are developing faster. But primarily, I miss a mobile app.

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

I use it through the browser without an issue, but a bespoke app could certainly help. I guess Obsidian is a for profit company so they have more money for development.

If it was a 'drop in replacement' for Microsoft OneNote I wouldn't hesitate. I've already 'migrated' from Evernote to OneNote - not an easy job mind you. Probably a big ask for an Open-source project though, considering how well OneNote and Outlook are integrated. I save a lot of emails to OneNote, to avoid clogging my provider's mail server. I guess integration is generally 'a bridge too far' for Open-source apps .

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

Agreed, it won't come close to One Note's integrations, Microsoft makes sure that stays exactly where it is. I actually enjoy using it for work.

I’ve been using one note forever. Didn’t know I could save outlook emails to it! Wow that will be handy! Thanks!

This is amazing! I don't like that Obsidian is closed. Can you use some LLM with Trilium to conect to your notes?

@Jims-Garage Ай бұрын

Good question, I'm not sure...

@pcislocked 10 ай бұрын

It has some great features but ehh.... not really a good enough replacement for onenote in my use case - 3 years of (and counting) english literature lecture notes. My OneNote notebook almost eats up all of my free onedrive space at this point, so moving it by itself is already would be quite a chore. but even then I don't see the feature parity... looks like something great for those bits and pieces of information you want to keep at one place, or maybe for self-notes for complex projects so you don't get lost in your own work. has decent features tho

@Jims-Garage 10 ай бұрын

I agree, if you're already onboard and deep into onenote it's likely not an attractive proposition, furthered by onenote's integration with 365.

Can I create todo list in trilium and measure the progress on weekly basis, like to make trilium calculate out 5 tasks per day the lets say I did 3 per day. So that means 5*7=35 per week and i did 3*7=21, can it give me a progress bar based on the tasks completed.

It can do a 'to do' list but I'm not sure if it's as advanced as that. Have a read of the docs.

The file size limit on this Sucks only 250 MB that you can work with! That to me is the only thing killing this app and why I'm staying away from it somewhere down the line you're going to regret that.

Where can I make this more like Joplin where you can just dump anything you want at it and it saves it locally on a folder anyway you want is it really that hard it's a great program this is a great program but that's the only thing that's kidding in the limitations it's right there man just when you think you have something good they have to go ahead and fuk it up with this shit. I really wanted to like this program but this is the only thing that's cleaning it for me I know someone on the line I'm going to regret wasting all my time with this as there are no small file size no more everything is in larger quantity these days you will hit a wall at some point you'll be like gosh sht now I got to look for another one

Correct, at least on the surface. There's a handy hidden note plugin for those you don't want to share, plus I try to delete as soon as I no longer need it.

Better to orginize the minimum amount needed to do work and produce something than organize to organize and end up just with an organization and nothing more.
