Show HN: Tolaria – open-source macOS app to manage Markdown knowledge bases

10 pointsby lucaronintoday at 10:01 PM4 commentsview on HN

Hey there! I am Luca, I write https://refactoring.fm/ and I built Tolaria for myself to manage my own knowledge base (10K notes, 300+ articles written in over 6 years of newslettering) and work well with AI.

Tolaria is offline-first, file-based, has first-class support for git, and has strong opinions about how you should organize notes (types, relationships, etc).

Let me know your thoughts!

Doesn’t Obsidian already do pretty much the same?

I run a newsletter too, so this is cool to see! Not sure if I need it yet (my "knowledge base" is still pretty small), but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future.

Just another disposable piece of software maintained by a single person that does 80% of what other apps do but worse.
