Maintainer of Trilium Notes

I've first started as a user of Trilium Notes back in January 2022 and have kept using it since. In the meantime, I contributed a few bugfixes to it.

In January 2024, the original maintainer announced that the project will transition to maintenance mode and I was determined to not let the application fade into memory.

With a few people we created an organization and have started to contribute to the future of Trilium, TriliumNext Notes. Now I'm the main maintainer and developer of the application:

Most of my work consists of:

• Adding new features such as Collections (table, geo map).
• Modernizing the layout, by reducing clutter and allowing more options (for example moving the launch bar at the top).
• Support for more platforms and installation methods (for example I introduced the Windows installer).
• User experience improvements such as syntax highlighting inside text notes.
• Mobile improvements.
• Various bugfixes.
• Worked on adding support for multiple languages.
• Developing a more modern theme, with the help of my brother.

On a more technical note: - Kept the application up to date with the latest versions of the libraries. - Set up a continuous integration and delivery system. - Porting the server (and in the future, the client) to TypeScript for better maintenance.
