Silverbullet: Personal productivity platform built with Markdown and Lua

Summary

SilverBullet SilverBullet is an open source personal productivity platform built on Markdown, turbo charged with the scripting power of Lua. You self host it on your server, access it via any modern browser on any device (desktop, laptop, mobile). Since SilverBullet is built as a Local First PWA, it is fully offline capable. Temporarily don't have network access? No problem, SilverBullet will sync your content when you get back online. You may start your SilverBullet journey by simply thinking of it as a note taking app. Because, well, it is. You write notes in Markdown and get Live Preview. It looks WYSIWYG while still easily accessing the markdown that lies underneath. You can create Links to other pages, via the [[other page]] syntax. As you navigate your Space (that's what we call a SilverBullet instance) by clicking these links, you will see Linked Mentions to get a feel of how your pages are inter-linked. Then you learn that in SilverBullet, you can embed Space Lua (SilverBullet's Lua dialect) right into your pages, using the special ${lua expression} syntax. You try something simple, like ${10 + 2} . Ok, that's cool. As you learn more, you start tagging pages and adding Frontmatter. As it turns out, pages (and other things) are indexed as Objects. You realize you can query these objects like a database. Imagine the possibilities. Before you know it — you realize you're effectively building applications in your notes app. End-User Programming, y'all. It's cool. You may have been told there is no such thing as a silver bullet. You were told wrong. Features SilverBullet...
