Lists:

* Joplin, TODO
TODO look into those more:
* https://roamresearch.com/ no public graphs
* https://nesslabs.com/roam-research-alternatives a bunch of open source alternatives to it
* <Trillium Notes>. Notable project! Pun unintended!
* Stroll https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html[]. How to publish? How to see tree?
* tiddlyroam https://joekroese.github.io/tiddlyroam/ graph rather than text searchable ToC. Public instance? Multiuser?
* Athens https://github.com/athensresearch/athens rudimentary <WYSIWYG>
* Logseq https://github.com/logseq/logseq no web interface/centralized server?
* https://itsfoss.com/obsidian-markdown-editor[]. <Closed source>. They have an OK static website publication mechanism: https://publish.obsidian.md/ram-rachum-research/Public/Agents+aren't+objective+entities%2C+they're+a+model but leaf node view only for now, no cross source page render. They are committed to having plaintext source which is cool: https://twitter.com/kepano/status/1675626836821409792
* <Notion (productivity software)>[].
But no upvotes/topics. Favorites could be used as upvotes, but it does not seem like you can favorite other people's work. It's just not their focus, will never be.
They have an education push: https://www.notion.so/product/notion-for-education but it's likely hopeless.
Major downsides that most of those personal knowledge databases have:
* very little/no focus on public publishing, which is the primary focus of OurBigBook.com
* either limited or no multiuser features, e.g. edit protection and cross user topics
* graph based instead of tree based. For books we need a single clear ordering of a tree. Graph should come as a secondary thing through tags.
