SilverBullet is a note-taking application optimized for people with a hacker mindset.
With this applications your notes essentially become a database that you can query. You can build custom knowledge applications on top of.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Web application – instantly accessible wherever a (modern) web browser is available.
- Progressive web app that supports two Client Modes: Online mode and Synced mode, where the synced mode enables 100% offline operation, keeping a copy of the content in the browser’s local IndexedDB database, syncing back to the server when a network connection is available.
- Self-hosted – you own your data. Your space is stored as plain files in a folder on disk on your server. Back it up, sync, edit, publish, script it with any additional tools you like.
- Provides an enjoyable Markdown writing experience with a clean UI, rendering text using live preview], further reducing visual noise while still providing direct access to the underlying markdown syntax.
- Supports wiki-style page linking using the page link syntax. Incoming links are indexed and appear as linked mentions at the bottom of the pages linked to, thereby providing bi-directional linking.
- Optimized for keyboard-based operation:
- Quickly navigate between pages using the page switcher.
- Run commands via their keyboard shortcuts or the command palette.
- Use slash commands to perform common text editing operations.
- Platform for end-user programming through its support for objects, live queries, live templates and live template widgets, allowing to make parts of your pages and UI dynamic.
- Boost your writing/knowledge collection productivity using its various templates mechanisms including powerful snippets and page templates.
