What is Teable?

Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.

Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.

What is Trilium Notes?

Trilium 0.107 turns a text note into blocks you can embed, quote and link

Trilium 0.107 rebuilds the text editor around blocks: notes can embed other notes and edit them in place, quote live excerpts that sync back to the source, and link to a single paragraph. Tables gain merged cells and sorting, the AI chat now asks before any tool reads or changes a note, and a ChatGPT Codex subscription can replace an API key. The sync protocol moves from 39 to 41, so server and every client must update together.

Teable adds Get Started guides to templates and shareable artifacts from the CLI.

◆ Current state

Teable ships near-daily. Early November brought impact previews before schema changes, owner-run Routines, self-hosted app domains and a read-only MCP query tool, then filter-based bulk updates and structured queries in Pi sessions. The November 13 release adds interactive Get Started guides for templates, formula-based metrics in structured queries, artifact sharing links from the CLI and API, app previews as a selected user, multi-field record search, and halves the default concurrent Routine runs per space to 5.

◆ Where it's heading

Teable is making its agent-facing pieces (queries, CLI, Routines) consistent with the rest of the product: query expressions now reuse formula syntax, and CLI commands are regrouped with old ones deprecated. Templates with guided setup point toward packaging finished apps for others to install.

◆ Prediction

Expect the deprecated standalone CLI commands to be removed in the next release, as announced, and more template and app-sharing features built on the new guides.

Trilium 0.107 turns a text note into blocks you can embed, quote and link

◆ Current state

Trilium 0.107 rebuilds the text editor around blocks: notes can embed other notes and edit them in place, quote live excerpts that sync back to the source, and link to a single paragraph. Tables gain merged cells and sorting, the AI chat now asks before any tool reads or changes a note, and a ChatGPT Codex subscription can replace an API key. The sync protocol moves from 39 to 41, so server and every client must update together.

◆ Where it's heading

After 0.105 made backups restorable and 0.106 rebuilt the kanban board, Trilium is now reworking its core unit, the text note, toward a block-based model with cross-note reuse. The AI layer is being made safe for a real database through approval prompts and cheaper through subscriptions rather than per-token keys.

◆ Prediction

Expect 0.107.x patches fixing block-editor and sync regressions, and the web clipper 1.2 release that was waiting on 0.107.
