Hey there! I am Luca, I write https://refactoring.fm/ and I built Tolaria for myself to manage my own knowledge base (10K notes, 300+ articles written in over 6 years of newslettering) and work well with AI. Tolaria is offline-first, file-based, has first-class support for git, and has strong opinions about how you should organize notes (types, relationships, etc). Let me know your thoughts! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I've been using octarine[1] recently (after having used obsidian for quite a while), but I'm definitely going to try this out. [1]: https://octarine.app | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

As I was scrolling down the page I was like "what if I wanted to use a notion-style editor instead of markdown" and my requests were instantly met | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Super nice! I've ended up settling on Logseq for note-taking for a while now, but never loved the UI. This is clean and love the git-backed approach. Would love to see a dark mode too! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

That’s awesome! I’m a huge fan of projects like that. I recently launched ckourse.com (open-source) to help manage downloaded courses. Combining tolaria and Ckourse will give a smooth learning experience. Thanks for the tool. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm glad you've built something that works for you! Keep at it. Experiment, don't just leave it the same way it is now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Doesn’t Obsidian already do pretty much the same? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I run a newsletter too, so this is cool to see! Not sure if I need it yet (my "knowledge base" is still pretty small), but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Wow thanks! Better than the one I was planning to build for myself. Love the UI. Love the fact that the app was made with Tauri. Nice work, will share! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Just another disposable piece of software maintained by a single person that does 80% of what other apps do but worse. Max lifespan 2 years | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
