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.

What's wrong with just notes in markdown in vim or helix?
Amazing apps, but not for my use cases
I don't see what the use case for VOID is.
It seems like there is more to it, but even if it was just open source Obsidian, that's a valid enough reason to exist in my mind.
Yeah well I would like for it to have a list of features explaining what it does...

Nice rendering of headings, bullet points, checkboxes, code blocks, images and so on. I know there is something available for vim if you are using a terminal emulator that supports displaying images, but as far as I know besides a language server for markdown helix can't do that. If there is something I'd like to try it
using images on the terminal is cursed, and helix does nicely render markdown with just the grammars, no lsp.
What I mean is for Headings to appear in a bigger size and so on, basically the difference between obsidian source and view mode. Also Not rendering Latex is a dealbreaker as well
for latex I understand, but not having titles be big is a sacrifice I'm willing to take.
