StrongLink is a searchable, syncable, content-addressable notetaking and blogging system written in C. Entries are linked via cryptographic hash://sha256 URIs resolved against your own local or self-hosted repository, and once written entries cannot be edited (like writing in ink).

Use cases

• take searchable notes locally
• self-host a personal notes or blog site
• sync notes between devices without a central server
• link notes permanently with unbreakable content hashes
• keep an immutable write-once journal or knowledge log
• mirror someone else's notes repository for offline access
• run a decentralized personal knowledge base with full-text search

When to choose

• You want notes addressed by content hashes that never rot and can be synced peer-to-peer between repositories.
• You need a self-hosted, searchable notes/blog site that you fully control on a desktop or server.
• You value immutable, verifiable entries and decentralized linking over rich editing features.

When to avoid

• You need to edit, reorganize, or restructure notes after writing them, since entries are immutable once created.
• You want a polished, turnkey note app - it is in alpha and setup currently takes real work.
• You need mobile apps or rich WYSIWYG formatting, which are not yet supported.
