I read a lot of articles and small tutorials, but my ADHD makes me forget about all of it and eventually i end up researching the same thing over and over again. I was recently watching a couple Youtube videos on Ali Abdaal channel which resonated with me, so i decided to implement both the calendar (“Merging calendars from multiple sources” ) and a note taking service that allows me not only to take personal notes, but also take clips from the articles with the URL included.
“Trilium Notes is a hierarchical note taking application with focus on building large personal knowledge bases.”
It can run as a desktop app and also be hosted as a web app. But the feature i was most looking for was the ability to clip excerpts from articles i come across. That’s where the Trilium Web Clipper chrome extension comes into place, along with the Android app Trilium Sender i get the ability to read and save directly to my server at home to access it later.
I decided to spin the hosted version via docker:
docker run -t -i --name trillium -p 8080:8080 -v ~/trilium-data:/home/node/trilium-data zadam/trilium:0.55-latest
And that’s it, i can how access my note taking/clipper app from anywhere and the data will all be stored at home.
