TriliumNext has started as a fork of Trilium Notes at the beginning of 2024. The reason for the work is that the upstream project has entered maintenance phase and we would like to extend the application. The work so far has focused more on the technical aspects because most of the work has been done by u/zadam and handing over a project of this size is non-trivial. Some more technical work will be done in the upcoming versions after which the project can focus on improving the user experience as much as possible.
Some of the current features are listed below and can be found on the readme:
🎄 Notes can be arranged into arbitrarily deep tree. Single note can be placed into multiple places in the tree (see cloning
📝 Rich WYSIWYG note editing including e.g. tables, images and math with markdown autoformat
✏️ Support for editing notes with source code, including syntax highlighting
🔍 Fast and easy navigation between notes, full text search and note hoisting
🔢 Seamless note versioning
#️⃣ Note attributes can be used for note organization, querying and advanced scripting
🔁 Synchronization with self-hosted sync server (there’s a 3rd party service for hosting synchronisation server)
🌍 Sharing (publishing) notes to public internet
🔐 Strong note encryption with per-note granularity
🖼️ Sketching diagrams with built-in Excalidraw (note type “canvas”)
🗺️ Relation maps and link maps for visualizing notes and their relations
👨💻 Scripting - see Advanced showcases
🤖 REST API for automation
⬆️ Scales well in both usability and performance upwards of 100 000 notes
📱 Touch optimized mobile frontend for smartphones and tablets
✂️ Web Clipper for easy saving of web content
Upcoming Improvements
🔡Support for multiple languages. (Work underway)
🚦Improving the existing theme and decluttering the UI.
📱Mobile improvements.
⌨️Exploring additional editors such as a MarkDown-based editor.
📓Improving existing documentation. (Work underway)
There is no change in the database structure. TriliumNext Notes can be run instead of the original Trilium Notes and it should work out of the box, since it will reuse the same database. It should also be possible to downgrade back to Trilium Notes if required, without any changes or loss of data. Similarly goes for the server, it should work out of the box. It is possible to mix and match between Trilium Notes and TriliumNext Notes.

Is this the same trillium I used to use to merge ICQ and MSN chats? Damn I’m old…
It’s trillan you are talking about. I am old too :D
Hah I had the same thought. Trillian, though. Named after the character from HHGttG.
