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:

    • Does not support desktop and mobile application connections, only supports use on browsers
    • Export to PDF, HTML and Word formats is not supported
    • Import Markdown file is not supported

    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!
