How would I use this as a mobile user?
Or don't do this at all, and rely on cloud models like most other solutions - running things locally has some benefits for privacy, control and perhaps cost, but you can get all of the same functionality without a local model.
Some suggestions : - Create multiple independent "vaults" (like obsidian). - Append links to related notes, so you can use (Obsidian's) graph view to map the AI connections. - "Minimize" the UI to just the chat window. - Read other formats (mainly pdfs). - Integrate with browser history/bookmarks (maybe just a script to manually import them as markdown ?) Thanks for Reor !
I think I struggle to see any application of LLMs for my notes that wouldn't, in practice, be just as easily implemented as a search facility. My main challenge with my notes (that I've been collecting for about 15 years) is remembering to consult them before I google. I suppose a unified interface to both my notes via LLM and internet search would help, but then I get that with my Apple Notes and the Mac's systemwid…
It's not the application of LLMs for your notes, it's the application of your notes for an LLM. Like if you're running a custom code-generation LLM, it could refer back to parts of your notes using retrieval aided generation to get some more context on the work you're having it do. But yes, a good application is probably a ways away. Still, LLM vector embedding make a good search engine pretty easy to implement, espe…
Does the future of knowledge management involve using lots of AI to organize pieces of knowledge? I think "here be dragons", and that over-relying on AI to do all your organization for you will very possibly (probably?) cause you to become worse at thinking. No data to back this up because it is still early days in the proliferation of such tools, but historically making learning and thinking and "knowledge managemen…
Honest discussion point: do you think organisational stuff is important thinking? IME it's precisely this sort of stuff that distracts me from thinking about hard stuff - the urgent displacing the important.

It's very possible to have multiple apps coexisting using a database. Although I'll certainly concede that it's probably a lot easier with just a bunch of Markdown files.
Sure, it's possible, but whichever app owns the database ultimately controls the data, the schema, etc. The file system provides a neutral database that all apps can cooperate within.
I really like this idea and the app, but beware when using your existing logseq folder it will mess up the structure/indentation/bullet-points of the notes.

Why does any app have to "own" the database? I don't see this as being a restriction any more than it is with Markdown. Arguably even less so with a database since you have access to transactions.
Which local model works best for folks? Sort of intimidated by the large number of models on Hugging Face and it is hard to conceptualize which of the variants work the best. I downloaded: mistral-7b-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf Q4_K_M 4bits 4.37 GB 6.87 GB medium, balanced quality - recommended Was that a good choice?

That was the reason why I gave up Joplin very quickly. The last Joplin thread, here on Hacker News, has also shown once again that some still do not understand why "But Joplin can export Markdown from the database!" is not the same as simple, flat Markdown files.
May I ask what you switched to? Running into the same issue.
It has native clients for Linux, Android, and all files are plain MD.
I can freely sync everything with third party apps. Total freedom.
