- SilverBullet v2 is released as an open-source, self-hosted, and programmable notes application.
- This version removes many previously incoherent features, focusing on a more streamlined experience.
- Features removed include online mode, special query language, command links, and more, now reimagined with Space Lua.
- SilverBullet helps organize personal knowledge in markdown Pages (Spaces) with navigation via Page Picker or bi-directional Links.
- It caters to writers, outliners, productivity enthusiasts, and database-oriented users with features like Live Preview, Outlining tools, Tasks, Objects, and Queries.
- Programmers can dynamically generate content using Space Lua, creating custom commands and widgets.
- SilverBullet is self-hosted, requiring installation on a server (Raspberry Pi, VPS) and is available as a single binary or Docker container.
- v2 emphasizes Space Lua, expanding its APIs and rebuilding features as SilverBullet Lua Libraries.
- Sync mode is now the default, ensuring continuous content sync between clients and local processing.
- Upgrading from v1 to v2 is a breaking change; users should backup before upgrading.
