Hey, the creator of Notabase [1] here, which it looks like MdSilo was based off of.

Your project looks cool! Always interesting to see how other people tackle note-taking. Thanks for keeping it open source.

I'd encourage people to check out Notabase as well, which offers an alternative vision and UI which some people might like better. You can use it hosted, or self-host it yourself -- the code is open source [2].

Best of luck with MdSilo! :)

"Note: by default, Notabase has a cap on the number of notes you can create. You can circumvent this by inserting an active subscription for your user id in the subscriptions table."

Not really "self-hosted", then.


Maybe it's unclear, but you just need to insert a row in the subscriptions table with the value "ACTIVE". You don't actually need to have a real subscription on the hosted version of Notabase.

Besides, if you know how to code, it's simple to change the max number of notes to something like Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY anyway - but adding a row in the database is likely easier so that's what I recommend.

It may be a bit of a hassle, but I do this because the codebase for the hosted version and the self-hosted version is the same, which makes it easier for me to maintain. In the future, I may make a separate self-hosted version so that this step can be skipped.


> Thanks for keeping it open source.

Not really an option to do otherwise, thanks to the license (AGPL).


Yep, although there are people who would change the license or ignore it, and hope that no one notices.


Thanks Richard! :)
