Hey everyone, was just trying to get an idea of what people thought of this / is it worth making?
A pwa, offline first document based application like logseq or obsidian that is also realtime collaborative and federated
I started off with the idea that I want to have something that I can sync between my devices but also I don’t want to deal with. A private company that can ultimately just change their privacy policy and own my shit (looking at you notion and todoist). But also I don’t really find joy in having to host my own servers either, so maybe that could be solved with federation? Host my stuff on one server and if I stop agreeing with the ideas of mthe current host I can just pick up my account and move it to another server all while still being able to share and collaborate on notes.
I’ve been getting kind of discouraged though more recently because its a pretty massive endeavor and there are just so many applications that seem to be doing mostly the same thing ( aside from sync / federation / realtime collaborative) everything is missing at least one it seems.
So I guess my question is, is this worth continuing to work on? Is this something that anyone else wants? Am I just crazy for wanting these very specific things?
Here is my current version (federation doesn’t work yet, and after looking more into logseq I have completely missed the mark on some functionality)

I’m using syncthing for logseq and koreader with unrestricted battery use on grapheneos, and my phone says it has used less than 1% of battery.
Really? Hmm interesting. Maybe I should take another peek at syncthing. Default settings or have you limited the sync frequency?
Defaults. And I have a vps set up as an encrypted sync target because all my devices aren’t necessarily on and with a network connection at the same time.
Interesting, thanks!
