Looking at your post and the README, I can't figure out what this app does, nor what "second brain" means.
Basically, it’s just powerful app that is used to manage user knowledge management system/notes
Still doesn't make sense, nor does it sound useful.
Notion, Obsidian and Evernote are also second brain apps. None of the major ones are open source though, which is what makes this project cool. It's fine if that's not useful for you, but the way you're replying is kind of reductive, and honestly a bit mean.
There's also logseq, which I would pit into this category, and is open source
https://github.com/logseq/logseq
Oo, thanks for the tip!!
Came here to say that I love logseq have been using it for ~2 years now
But might have a look at void if i have some time
"Problem" is logseq now just works for me and thrn I am extremly lazy to try new stuff :D
Admitted, it was a bit reductive and mean, because I was annoyed about the long list of meaningless mumbo-jumbo in the post, without explaining what this app supposedly does / is useful for. If people have something useful to present, why not start with the useful bit of info? "Managing knowledge management" sounds a bit like the "president of the tautology association presidency"
I'm sorry you weren't able to understand it, do you need an explain like I'm five?
No, an explanation like you were five wouldn't improve upon OP.
You're really a chummy type, aren't ya?
You're much kinder than I. I think the term "self-centered arsehole" applies here.
You don't see the humor in you having said, "Do you want me to explain it like I'm five?"
I thought it was funny. And that's why they replied the way they did. You were also being very snarky. And who wants assistance from someone being snarky?
This is definitely a both sides are wrong argument. /2¢
ELI5 is a pretty established thing that's self-evident.
Your comment just now is entirely true, but you completely missed the point.
The funny part is, you basically offered to talk like a child when explaining.
I wasn't snarky to begin with, and I don't owe anyone politeness.
"I'm sorry you weren't able to understand it...", sounds snarky as hell. That's victim blaming. The original comment they replied to was indeed a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
This is my original comment: https://threadiverse.link/lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/16113252
Yes, of course. And they they replied to acknowledge they were being reductive, and then explained their exasperation at the original comment (which was not from you). I don't see anything particularly wrong with that, and then you made a pretty condescending reply. That's OK. You don't always need to be polite. Lord knows I'm not. But it was coincidentally kinda funny! I laughed at it, myself. You literally said, "would you like me to explain it like I'm five", which is just so silly! I wish you could see the humor in it.
So I think their deadpan reply of "No, an explanation like you were five wouldn’t improve upon OP." is an excellent and appropriately snarky reply that points out the silliness of what you said while also returning your snark back to you.
Have a most excellent day!
How dare someone have the audacity to create a program that isn't useful for YOU, the person around whom the entire universe rotates!
Seriously, though, the creator is volunteering their time and energy to create something for the greater good, even if you can't figure it out. If you can't invest the minimal effort to not shit on it, invest the even smaller amount to fuck off.

Don't take it to heart. I've literally been spit on for passing out food to the homeless. Misery loves company and some people are so miserable that they form a multinational corporation.
Thanks) I’m here not to argue with anyone, but just to share my work. Still readme could be confusing for someone, I’ll rework it soon.
Managing and organizing notes doesn't sound useful?
doesn't have the same ring to it as
The first one sounds like it's a meta-management engine with a very abstract purpose that is not explained in OP. The second - your wording - sounds like a simple Notes app, and I mean "simple" in a good way. The OP doesn't manage to communicate such a simple message.
Ah so we're just shitting on OP for being a non-native English speaker doing their best. Carry on.
It may not have the same ring to it but if you think about it for more than two seconds you may realize that it has the same meaning :-)
Open source Obsidian notes application.
The second brain part comes (I think) from the zettelkasten method of brain dumping all of your thoughts, notes on things you learn, etc... "On paper” in order to organize it and not lose it.
It is often recommended (along with to-do lists) for people with ADHD, and good for people like me with bad short-medium term memory.
