Files.md hits trending as "LLM-friendly" Obsidian rival
Artem Zakirullin's Files.md is a local-first, distraction-free markdown app designed to ditch "second brain" complexity for sub-millisecond thinking. Built with a zero-build vanilla JS frontend and a simple Go backend, it prioritizes data ownership and a codebase simple enough for AI agents to rewrite on demand.
// ANALYSIS
Files.md is a "vibes-based" rejection of productivity bloat, banking on the idea that simplicity is the only long-term storage strategy that survives the AI transition.
- –The "LLM-friendly" philosophy treats source code as a living document that users should extend using AI rather than waiting for features.
- –Zero-build architecture (Vanilla JS/HTML/CSS) ensures portability and longevity without the fragility of modern npm dependencies.
- –Local-first design with a Telegram bot capture flow balances extreme privacy with mobile convenience.
- –Sub-millisecond indexing and sub-50KB total size make it a "speed maximalist" alternative to Electron-heavy note apps.
