In the past I'd recommended Trilium Notes as a good FLOSS alternative to Obsidian for a note taking database app, but unfortunately today after failing to restore a trilium backup file to a new install, and finding that the documentation on backups isn't accurate (as in, there are not buttons in the app that the documentation claims are there, and nothing I have tried has worked to restore the backup), I discovered on the github a Claude.md in the repository, and the commit history shows that in the past few months Claude has become one of the most prolific contributors on the project.
If anyone is using this app based on my previous recommendation, I'd personally suggest migrating to a different note-taking app that isn't vibe-coded (and exports backups to plain text, instead of some database format), perhaps CherryTree?
I've really been enjoying https://helixnotes.com/ Kinda like Obsidian but looks nicer and its simpler and easier to use, IMO.
I think @rockyroad226@lemmy.world is the dev?

Dammit :(
It's also extremely telling that their Codeberg repo was archived and migrated to Gitlab the exact same day Codeberg put out their new anti-slop guidelines. Gross.
Joplin ?
Gave it a try and I have to say I like it quite a bit, and I like that it exports everything in markdown files for backups.
Looks nice and seems to have reminders and a calendar built in.
Do you know if it has a sliding panes mode?
I do not
