(Question) Do you plan to turn it into an Obsidian alternative?

If yes, it would be nice, as Obsidian use Electron and it sucks.

Thanks for asking! It would be very cool to have an obsidian alternative, but in order to do that there are a few hurdles:

• Wikitext (what Tendril Wiki uses) is only a subset of Markdown so TW will have to add back markdown support
• There needs to be a nicer way to install the binary so that non-techy people can install TendrilWiki easily
• I want to rewrite large parts of the UI, which although is not really a blocker to being an Obsidian alternative, the current UI/UX is very clunky and would be hard to convince someone to switch
• Having something like Obsidian sync would be cool
• Having good docs on how to install the web frontend that non-tech people can do easily would be nice.
• Plugins are currently not supported
• Theming consists of handwriting CSS, though you could easy share the CSS if you had a cool theme...

There's nothing from stopping someone from using TendrilWiki as an alternative to Obsidian, except in my opinion TendrilWiki is still very clunky and mostly suited to my own whims. That being said, I'd be happy to work with you and/others to improve TendrilWiki to make it a more appealing alternative to the masses. Places where I could use help:

• Design / UX
• Rethinking overall architecture (split into sync/file processing, think about multi-user support, adding more types of media other than text, lots of ideas here)
• Integration with local LLMs
• Better webfrontend
• Wrappers for multi-platform installers
  • This would also mean having some sort of tray icon for seeing when TW is active / syncing in the background

If you or anyone you know is interested in any of these tasks, my door is open :)
