Sorry if this isn’t relevant here but it’s the only place I could thing of posting this
I’m looking to make manga of my own in the future but I’m still slowly learning to draw in my free time and am still a long ways to go before being able to draw.
But I’ve been writing down every story idea thats popped up in my mind instead of letting them dissappear but it’s getting to the point where it needs to be organised
The features I want in the software are
- Has to support Windows 11
- Must be free, preferably open source
- Allows hyperlinking to other documents
- Has the ability to tag documents
- Has folders or categories
obsidian?
I already use it to edit local copies of gitlab snippits before commiting them but I’d have to check if it has all the features I need
Edit for my own and other people’s references:
Obsidian:
Supports tags: Yes
Supports Windows 11: Yes
Free: Yes
Open Source: No
Linking to other documents: Yes
Folders: No clear information on this
Categories: No
I had to think of Obsidian as well. Even if it’s not open source, the devs are very transparent about their software. And categories is what you could create via meta-data and use a plugin to easily find them. Folders you can create as well.
Slightly off topic, you should read Hirohiko Araki’s book Manga In Theory And Practice https://archive.org/details/manga-in-theory/mode/2up
Thank you for recommending this, it looks really useful and it looks really easy to read as well
Author here of sorts. Obsidian.
Supposedly, the open source equivalent to Obsidian is Logseq https://logseq.com/
Sync across devices is still in beta though, and only for sponsors and backers so far.
