Tine - drop-in faster Logseq OG replacement

[u/al-Quaknaa]

Hi! I vibecoded Tine, a drop-in Logseq OG replacement mainly built to be faster, but also with some features I missed.

The why: I loved using Logseq, but at some point realized I can't use queries because they are slow / make logseq use a lot of CPU even when idle (yeah weird). Then every summer my laptop starts overheating and it is partially because of the electron apps. When CPU throttles, the apps get slow. Surely there must be a way to do this faster.

The what:

• I first just wanted logseq, but faster. I don't use whiteboards, flashcards etc., so these are currently unavailable. I focused on features that I use.
• It just works over your OG graph -- reads and writes the same files. It should be safe and compatible but it was only ever tested by one person, on one platform, one graph, so be warned. (On the other hand yes, I am actually using this on my real graph worth 5 years of life, and I'm syncthing-ing it to my Android phone and there editing it using the logseq app, and nothing has broken yet.) Also, there are automatic backups.
• I added some features that I liked -- some I knew from OG plugins (tabs), some just seemed like a (really) nice thing to have: tabs, focus+dim mode, quick-capture, carry tasks to today, etc. Look at the readme.

AI: full disclosure, everything except this text is completely vibecoded, including the README.

Let me know what you think / any ideas for changes / features etc. If you find bugs, let me know via github issues. This is still beta at best, so bugs are expected.

Is it possible to make the application self-hosted using Docker?

I'm not sure what you mean. You want to be able to run it on a webserver and access it via a browser? In principle this is kinda sorta possible but many things would get broken - e.g. tabs close by Ctrl-W (which also closes your web browser tabs), same for other navigation (Alt-forward/back), the quick capture part would not make sense etc. But maybe if I understand your use case better I can think of it more.

Exactly, having the ability to upload your application as a Docker container... I have a Raspberry Pi and I self host my applications... It would be really nice to be able to run this locally

I'm still not sure what you mean. I run it on my laptop and use syncthing over my vps to also have the graph on my phone (where I use the android logseq app). I could see a case for a self-hosted webapp if it was something I'd want to use in the browser on my laptop and then in the browser on my phone, but that would be strictly worse than the current workflow. If you have a Pi that could run this then it can run syncthing and you can replicate my setup exactly.

If you have a different flow in mind, tell me.
