I used notion a lot before understood that it’s not exactly fit all my needs so I decided to add databases in my own app. As for yours requests: Personally I don’t really like ai (even local ones), Idk why, but that’s it. I wouldn’t include ai in any of my projects. As for binary release… After I decide that app is stable enough for publishing I’ll probably add it to AUR, fedora COPR, nixpkgs(or made a flake for nixos), flatpak, and setup auto bundling for AppImage, rpm, deb, exe and dmg versions.

Hi friends! It’s me. Again🙃. Long time no see, sorry for that, got the highest wall of tasks that I’ve seen in my entire life. But somehow I still can continue working on VOID.

Today I have some great news:

About 70% of core work that I’ve done is already rewritten!

Also our designer trying hard to complete all his work as soon as possible. To this post I attach one of his completed screens, let me know what do you guys think about it)

Huge stuff is cooking right now. Hope that I didnt disappear again like in the past couple of times.

Thanks for listening ❤️

See you again soon.

Hello everyone, it’s me again)

Thank you to everyone who follows VOID and supports the project. I want to share some important news: VOID needs your help, and that’s why we’ve launched a survey to better understand which features and approaches you really need.

For those hearing about it for the first time: VOID is an open-source second-brain app. In short, it’s an “extension” for your brain - a place to store ideas, notes, research, tasks, and projects. VOID combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the databases of Notion, but it is being built as a fully local, fast, and extensible solution.

The survey will help us understand which tools you currently use and why you like them, what frustrates you most about them, which features like sync, plugins, collaboration, or global Vim navigation would actually be useful, and what you’ve always felt was missing in other apps.

The form is anonymous and takes only a few minutes: https://tally.so/r/3qyW9g

Your answers will help us shape VOID so it becomes as convenient and powerful as possible for you. This is a project for the community, built by a small community - and it’s you who decide what it will become.

Thank you for your support and your help! GitHub: https://github.com/WTWB-none/void

Hi everyone!

It’s me again)

For those who haven’t heard of it yet - VOID is a local-first, open-source “second brain” app. Think of it as combining the flexibility of Obsidian with the structured organization of Notion.

As the title says - VOID just reached 100 stars on GitHub!

Huge thanks for all your support - it truly motivates me to work even harder and bring the project to release as soon as possible.

But this post isn’t only about “showing off.” Over the past week I’ve mainly been polishing the editor’s behavior, and now I’m finally happy with it. I think it’s time to share the roadmap for the next year(I think?):

  • Note linking, global indexing of todos and tags, and embedded content (videos, images, audio, etc.)

  • Migration from Excalidraw canvas to a custom JSON Canvas implementation

  • Databases (similar to Notion)

  • Sync server improvements and a self-hosted Docker container

  • Plugin API (Lua for the backend and any frontend framework you can imagine)

  • Full redesign of the entire app (yes, we finally have a designer!)

  • And of course… optimization, optimization, optimization

We also now have a Lemmy community where I’ll post small devlogs, thoughts, and some behind-the-scenes updates about VOID. If you’re interested in the project, feel free to join there — or hop into our GitHub Discussions.

And one more thing - the first beta is coming very soon!
Stay tuned!

I didn’t even heard about zim before

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Understood. You could use p2p sync without our/selfhosted server. I didn’t interested in anyone's data. That’s exactly why I decided to fully open the source code of the app for all who interested. And I’m not trying to hyde my nationality, I just want to all who looks at my project/talks to me feel comfortable without need to translate every my message

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I get that some people may see it differently. Still, my goal here is simply to share a tool I’m building.

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

I prefer to stay apolitical. VOID is an open-source project meant for everyone.

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I’m from Russia. Is this a problem?

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I tried to make README less boring using emoji) And I’m pretty confident in my Rust and Vue skills, so not using chatGPT(or any other AI tool) in my work). I wrote all of the VOID by my hands.

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Yep, 100% I will! But a little bit later, cause for now app is still WIP

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Full markdown support, all notes are just .md files like in obsidian. I’m currently working on plugins api and trying to implement layer that would allow obsidian plugin’s compatibility. Automation: I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say, can you specify please?

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Yes, tried anytype, but I struggle with it’a lack of plugins and overall extensibility. As for kanban and notifications, yep, they are already on roadmap

[-] Transhumanist@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

no offense. but if I got a penny for everytime Ive heard this…

yeah, I know) but I try my best to make this project as perfect and useful as possible

Hey folks! I’m completely new to Lemmy and still figuring out how everything works around here... But I’d love to share a project I’ve been building.

It's called VOID (Versatile Open-source Infrastructure for Developers) - an open-source, local-first second-brain (note taking app but more powerful) application that combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the powerful organization of Notion.

Unlike many other tools, VOID is not just another note-taking app. It’s built with the idea of being a true second brain that you fully control. No vendor lock-in, no hidden cloud, no feature walls. Everything is open-source, customizable, and designed to adapt to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s.

I'm currently building it with Rust, Tauri v2 and Vue.js. For certain plugins and configs, it also supports SurrealDB as a database.
