Foam is a great FOSS clone of Roam. If you like to write text files, like markdown, and like to link among the text, then definitely try Foam and Roam-- they are superb for organization. And if you use emacs, the similar tool is org-roam for emacs org mode. https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam

  I customized a jekyll template[1] to publish my Obsidian knowledge base and increase the discoverability of notes, which could be better in the app. Also, I wasn't comfortable being tied to the "publish" feature that is still in development. I use it daily[2]. [1] notenote.link template : https://github.com/Maxence-L/notenote.link https://github.com/Maxence-L/notenote.link [2] https://arboretum.link https://arboretum.link

  I am a logseq user. The nice things about it include: - all your usual backlinks, graph views, etc. - saves files as plaintext - md or org mode files - operates on / syncs / saves plaintext files - edit locally, or sync with a git repo - accessible from mobile (via your github repo) So I use this with org-mode files, and on my laptop I edit files locally (I have it pointed at a git repo), which is very reliable. Then the phone simply reads from (and writes to) the same git repo. Since it runs on git, the interoperability of the notes is really nice. If I edit the same page on 2 machines or delete a file, it's just a simple merge conflict that I can use my favorite git merge tool to fix. Not to mention the developer is extremely active and helpful.

and there is also dendron.... https://dendron.so/ https://dendron.so/ I used all of them and settled on dendron. Because Dendron makes the same links and nodes as roam and all the others. But it is still also hierarchal. After so many years of hierarchy I can't let it go so this hybrid is perfect for me.
