Hey folks! I’m completely new to Lemmy and still figuring out how everything works around here… But I’d love to share a project I’ve been building.

It’s called VOID (Versatile Open-source Infrastructure for Developers) - an open-source, local-first second-brain (note taking app but more powerful) application that combines the flexibility of Obsidian with the powerful organization of Notion.

Unlike many other tools, VOID is not just another note-taking app. It’s built with the idea of being a true second brain that you fully control. No vendor lock-in, no hidden cloud, no feature walls. Everything is open-source, customizable, and designed to adapt to your workflow instead of forcing you into someone else’s.

I’m currently building it with Rust, Tauri v2 and Vue.js. For certain plugins and configs, it also supports SurrealDB as a database.

check it out on my GitHub

              You know, I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s funny how you don’t see these reactions to American open-source projects, despite the US government’s explicit support for the genocide in Gaza. Why do you think that is?

                  There is a complex sociopolitical history as to why it’s likely Russians aren’t as vocal about these sorts of things. So no, I don’t think it’s as simple as calling out any Russian that does anything ever, and deciding to give every USian the benefit of the doubt.

                  As well, I’d like to point out that being vocal on the internet is not the same as making a material difference in the real world.

                    There’s also a very simple reason: Russian Criminal Code article 280.3, which criminalizes pacifism with up to 7 years’ imprisonment.

                  I don’t think there’s a law in the US that criminalizes pacifism [yet] (with actual prison time as punishment)

                  It’s easy to blame russians for not resisting the war when you don’t have the prospect of spending 7 years in a russian prison

              Please don’t force people to take a stand because 1. he’s Russian and what he say may have repercussions for him, 2. this is not the place for discourse like this; and even if it was, I think it’s important to prioritize persuasion rather than accusation, and 3. He’s just trying to share something he’s enthusiastic about. Just let the guy share and maybe redirect the anger to more vocal supporters

              The genocide perpetrated by Israel and the West? Is that the genocide you’re silent about?

              I get that some people may see it differently. Still, my goal here is simply to share a tool I’m building.
