FOSS alternatives to MilaNote?

Looking for something that is kind of whiteboardy-pinteresty way of creating idea boards from images, text, links, etc. that isn’t tied to a subscription and I have full control of. Any ideas?

I’m looking for something that is less linear than Obsidian, but I do like Obsidian a lot for other things.

Have you tried the canvas on Obsidian?

I usually use that for mood boarding. Each box acts like a note in itself, so you can add images with texts.
- Yeah I’m dumb. I use Obsidian daily but never actually tried Obsidian Canvas. Just played around with it just now and it’s perfect. Thanks! /thread
  
  Obsidian is not actually open source, but its open source alternative, Logseq has canvas as well!
- Isn’t obsidian not foss though? Or am I mistaken?
  
  You are correct. The source code for Obsidian is proprietary, but a lotta FOSS-friendly folks give them a pass since it's all plaintext Markdown etc on the backend.
Joplin probably.
Maybe the graph mode of logseq?
