Hi everyone!
It’s me again)
For those who haven’t heard of it yet - VOID is a local-first, open-source “second brain” app. Think of it as combining the flexibility of Obsidian with the structured organization of Notion.
As the title says - VOID just reached 100 stars on GitHub!
Huge thanks for all your support - it truly motivates me to work even harder and bring the project to release as soon as possible.
But this post isn’t only about “showing off.” Over the past week I’ve mainly been polishing the editor’s behavior, and now I’m finally happy with it. I think it’s time to share the roadmap for the next year(I think?):
-
Note linking, global indexing of todos and tags, and embedded content (videos, images, audio, etc.)
-
Migration from Excalidraw canvas to a custom JSON Canvas implementation
-
Databases (similar to Notion)
-
Sync server improvements and a self-hosted Docker container
-
Plugin API (Lua for the backend and any frontend framework you can imagine)
-
Full redesign of the entire app (yes, we finally have a designer!)
-
And of course… optimization, optimization, optimization
We also now have a Lemmy community where I’ll post small devlogs, thoughts, and some behind-the-scenes updates about VOID. If you’re interested in the project, feel free to join there — or hop into our GitHub Discussions.

And one more thing - the first beta is coming very soon!
Stay tuned!
is universal flatpak packaging planned? this looks like something i’d want to use to replace plaintext notes.
Yep, after successfull beta
This looks AWESOME! As an ADHD squirrel, I’m super excited about this. I have zero programming skill, but I’ll happily test the hell out of it.
Thanks, it means a lot to me)
What are the advantages over Joplin?
I can’t get through EBADENGINE error messages spawned by npm.
Can you create an issue? I’ll fix it in meantime
Ofcourse, whats your email?

Thanks for helping improve VOID
maybe npm doesn’t support combudtion engines anymore :(
Would suggest updating the ReadMe as I was also confused in regard to the usage of this app, seems cool, not sure what I personally would use it for.
As of making this comment you’re at 108 stars, this will make it 109, keep up the great work!
Thanks! I planned readme rework this week, but forgot… sorry, I’ll finish it soon
Looking at your post and the README, I can’t figure out what this app does, nor what “second brain” means.
Open source Obsidian notes application.
The second brain part comes (I think) from the zettelkasten method of brain dumping all of your thoughts, notes on things you learn, etc… "On paper” in order to organize it and not lose it.
It is often recommended (along with to-do lists) for people with ADHD, and good for people like me with bad short-medium term memory.
Basically, it’s just powerful app that is used to manage user knowledge management system/notes
Still doesn’t make sense, nor does it sound useful.
How dare someone have the audacity to create a program that isn’t useful for YOU, the person around whom the entire universe rotates!
Seriously, though, the creator is volunteering their time and energy to create something for the greater good, even if you can’t figure it out. If you can’t invest the minimal effort to not shit on it, invest the even smaller amount to fuck off.
Managing and organizing notes doesn’t sound useful?
manage user knowledge management system/notes
doesn’t have the same ring to it as
Managing and organizing notes
The first one sounds like it’s a meta-management engine with a very abstract purpose that is not explained in OP. The second - your wording - sounds like a simple Notes app, and I mean “simple” in a good way. The OP doesn’t manage to communicate such a simple message.
It may not have the same ring to it but if you think about it for more than two seconds you may realize that it has the same meaning :-)
Ah so we’re just shitting on OP for being a non-native English speaker doing their best. Carry on.
Notion, Obsidian and Evernote are also second brain apps. None of the major ones are open source though, which is what makes this project cool. It’s fine if that’s not useful for you, but the way you’re replying is kind of reductive, and honestly a bit mean.
There’s also logseq, which I would pit into this category, and is open source
Oo, thanks for the tip!!
Admitted, it was a bit reductive and mean, because I was annoyed about the long list of meaningless mumbo-jumbo in the post, without explaining what this app supposedly does / is useful for. If people have something useful to present, why not start with the useful bit of info? “Managing knowledge management” sounds a bit like the “president of the tautology association presidency”
I’m sorry you weren’t able to understand it, do you need an explain like I’m five?
No, an explanation like you were five wouldn’t improve upon OP.
You’re really a chummy type, aren’t ya?
(
Don’t take it to heart. I’ve literally been spit on for passing out food to the homeless. Misery loves company and some people are so miserable that they form a multinational corporation.
Thanks) I’m here not to argue with anyone, but just to share my work. Still readme could be confusing for someone, I’ll rework it soon.
What … is it?
It’s just app to manage your notes/knowledge management system
I had to look up what all this means, it’s new to me. But very cool! Please post when a release is out, I’d love to try it
Thanks! I’ll let you know when release comes
I don’t know how to access your app, can you pass a pointer?
A reference would be safer
App is still WIP, however beta is coming soon
Clearly it wasn’t written in C++
Replied to a wrong comment( But yes, VOID written in rust + vue(tauri) :)
Because if it had been, you would have gotten the joke.
