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

    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

        This is about as useful as suggesting to an average USian/brit/german that they violently overthrow their oppressive governments and install socialism. The punishment for trying (at least in UK/germany) is about the same as it would be for a russian wearing an anti-war T-shirt, the benefits for the humanity would be greater than they would be for overthrowing Putin’s dictatorship, and yet I don’t see people yapping about it any time someone from those countries posts an open-source project.

            This is clearly not “a russian wondering what’s wrong”, this is “a russian living in russia who doesn’t want to die in prison”. This would be a fair criticism if there wasn’t a law criminalizing pacifism together with many laws making it easy to deanonymize internet users.

            Silence does not fix things.

            Neither does grandstanding on Lemmy. It especially wouldn’t fix anything if a person in Russia trying to build international relations would go to prison for it.
