I'll try to see what I can put together. It'll be useful for my current Mad Scientist Research Project.

MSRP?

Huh! Not wrong!

Given you discussed Obsidian, I assume either iteration of Logseq already burned you? I‘m also not really aware of anything else. I *am* hacking around on something but it‘s not as simple as Workflowy (intentionally) and it‘s all prototypes only slowly converging into One Thing.

Technically there‘s Dotflowy, which is very Workflowy-copied. Persists to Durable Object storage but you could vibe-retrofit that to purely local storage easily I would bet. Can‘t speak to it’s behavior or performance otherwise though.

I think about this Often

I *also* use Obsidian. And probably won't stop. But Obsidian is a catastrophe for "be one window" and "now be a second window, with different content, because I'm doing two different things, on two different desktops". And that slays me.

I haven't used Workflowy before, but eyeballing it, I think what I want from a local-first intentionally-tunnel-vision editor here might be pretty much what local-first Workflowy describes. (If it's sufficiently Just Files, chill relationship to Obsidian is implicit, and doesn't cause contortion.)

It’s only in alpha right now, and the self-hosted binary is coming soon apparently, but I have been really enjoying Thymer. I think they have a lot of the same philosophy as you, backend Is apparently a single binary, end-to-end encrypted, fast, and desktop client has local markdown sync.
