AI Analysis

MidShip ItNiche Gem

Obsidian-style wikilinks as an embeddable SDK, but the notes canvas space is packed.

Strengths
  • Plugin system and storage adapters enable genuine extensibility
  • Obsidian-compatible markdown means existing notes work out of the box
  • SDK approach targets developers, not just end users
Weaknesses
  • Weekend project status shows — needs more polish and examples
  • Obsidian, Logseq, and Foam already dominate this exact niche

Post Description

I've spent the weekend hacking away on what I am calling "worldnotes". It's an infinite notes canvas, using wikilink style links to navigate around to different places.

I was inspired by a demo of a digital art canvas that kept revealing gem after gem. I wanted to apply that concept to a website via a text editor. I've used obsidian for note-taking for a while now, and while appreciate it's publish feature, I wanted to take a swing at making a website with markdown based back-end.

The worldnotes SDK has: - Markdown based notes, compatible with Obsidian or other markdown based editors that support wikilinks. - Lean editor core (just the basics to get you going) - Plugin system to extend editor capabilities - Full theming support via CSS tokens - easy to make your own - Ability to create custom storage adapters to serve content however you like

Disclaimer: AI was used in development - it's okay. The code won't hurt you.
