I'm really glad you mentioned this --- I've been looking for a Rust or Tauri-based Obsidian replacement for years, and this is almost everything I want (and much closer to what I want than Files.md).

Now that I'm playing with it, I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more traction on HN or Reddit.

Thank you! I am long time obsidian user looking for something that will work decently on Android and this looks promising.

I only really struggle with one basic feature - I want to be able to write note within 1-2 seconds of clicking the app icon. Obsidian makes it 10-15 seconds at best. The HelixNotes sometimes can get this in under 10, still looking for better options.

Is this related to https://helix-editor.com/ ??

		No, its a really ignorant name collision. And the helix text editor is much better.

		AFAICT no. It's similar to Hermes Agent and the Hermes JavaScript engine. They are two very different things. Though you could argue that both Helix projects are editors but I don't think that's meaningful in this instance.
