Show HN: Eidos – Offline Alternative to Notion

Thanks for your advice. Eidos is more like a PDM tool rather than a PKM tool, but it can be used as a PKM with some extensions, just as the introduction says, it's an extensible framework.

I've used the tools you mentioned and more. None of them have a powerful table, which is one of the reasons I decided to create Eidos. Eidos can handle large amounts of data like Excel. Anytype/Outline cannot do this.

I plan to follow Obsidian's model, with the core being always free. here is some plans: - publish service (subscription-based) - peer-to-peer data synchronization (One-time payment, like Resilio sync) - an extension store that benefits developers (still a rough idea in my mind)

If you allow dependency-included self-host (preferably via an application wrapper like Electron where I can use a firewall to control which outbound connections are allowed), support mobile devices, and charge a one-time fee for p2p sync (decentralized, like SyncThing), this will be an instant buy for me.

Thought: Can you add a logout button?

Also, please consider a name change so SquEnix doesn't sue you out of existence!

What you want is also what I'm working on. Eidos is a personal open-source project focused on individual needs. It respects everyone's privacy. It does not collect any information. Since there is no account system, no need for a logout button

I really love this name. If I use Eidos Space, will there be trademark issues?
