Competitor research: SilverBullet #83

Description

@ipapakonstantinou

Research note (not a task). Source: docs/competitive-analysis.md.

What it is: Open-source (MIT) self-hosted "personal productivity platform" — live-preview markdown editor + built-in database/query language + Space Lua scripting.

Storage: Plain markdown files in a folder on your own server (not git-native; you'd add git yourself).

Killer features: Programmable notes (Lua), Objects/Queries (notes-as-data), PWA — installable, works offline, plugin "plugs."

Pricing: Free, self-hosted only.

Platform: Browser (PWA) backed by a self-hosted server (single binary or Docker).

vs noteser: More programmable and genuinely offline, but requires running a server and has no GitHub-as-storage or merge UX. noteser is zero-infrastructure (just a repo). SilverBullet's query language is a strong reference for noteser's properties/DB-views work.

Maps to noteser gaps: offline/PWA #68, properties/DB views #72.
