The problem with notetaking apps like Evernote or Apple Notes is that once you write a note, after a week you never look at it again. Without any organization, you're stuck praying that search will work for your future self.

It's a great open source software, improving very fast and with a reactive and nice community. Short term it may become soon the strongest alternative to Roam Research Long term the team has a very empowering vision for real-time collaboration and decentralized inter-connected knowledge graphs that would be impossible for closed models to achieve. Give it a try !

I love their community, their user interface and of course, the fact that they're open source.

What is Athens?

The problem with notetaking apps like Evernote or Apple Notes is that once you write a note, after a week you never look at it again. Without any organization, you're stuck praying that search will work for your future self. On the other hand, creating and following a system requires way too much discipline.

Athens lets you take notes with minimal systems, structure, and organization, freeing you to stay creative and in flow state. Athens does this with [[bidirectional links]], ((block references)), and a graph database.
