Recently stumbled upon this note-taking app called SiYuan, but it honestly looks a bit too good to be true(?). Has anyone here used it or got any experience with it? Trying to replace Obsidian is a difficult task, and I’ve been through almost all note-taking apps there are out there, however this one looks fairly similar.

Looks dope, but it seems like the Docker container has some very unfortunate limitations:
This kinda makes it unusable for me. :/
Edit: I just installed it and … you have to login and pay for a subscription in order to sync between devices. RIP
Edit 2: It’s not a subscription, just a one-time payment. Might be worth it for some!
This app seems similar to logseq
But logseq doesn’t have the same limitations listed here.
Logseq does let you import markdown (uses markdown as its notes format by default also supports .org) and export to PDF and HTML.
As for syncing I just use syncthing to sync all my Notes and that works fine.
Their readme says otherwise. https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan?tab=readme-ov-file#-features
It literally says it in their readme’s docker section: https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan?tab=readme-ov-file#docker-hosting
Thanks for taking the time to investigate a bit and sharing it! 🌻
