Hi! I built this very convenient multi platform content downloader. But putting that aside, working around youtube download restrictions has been an absolute nightmare. oh god..

Thanks! tbh, I've never heard about org-roam, probably because of the Emacs thing, I've never really used Emacs. I'll look into it :)

Yes, internal links will be introduced in the next version along with other features like standard theming and more. Ekphos is currently in a rapid development stage and is slowly reaching core markdown feature parity with Obsidian. Feel free to open a discussion in the gitHub repo for things that would be nice to add to Ekphos :)

Feature wise, not all will be implemented due to the limitations of a terminal user interface, but it has upsides in performance and being lightweight, plus native nvim keybindings for nvim users

Ekphos uses Neovim keybindings btw :)

Yeah sure :) The motivation is actually really that simple. I was searching for a markdown editor similar to Obsidian with a terminal user interface, but I couldn't find any that really fit the needs of a proper markdown tool like Obsidian. Though Ekphos isn't yet reaching what Obsidian is capable of, we're surely getting closer and closer. But I want to take only what really matters from Obsidian, so it doesn't get bloated and people can really focus on writing the markdown

I was thinking a plugin wouldn't be sufficient for extending it beyond a regular markdown editor, so I went for a full standalone app instead for better upgradeability, optimization, etc.
