Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I'm looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

nice design (including color coding)
easy checklists
sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don't mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

They're adding a database to back it?

That's off putting, I liked its simplicity, and it's being open source.

I get it. And I don't necessarily disagree with them, but it gives me concerns over the long term viability of the project. If obsidian did blocks the same way logseq did I'd probably jump ship and use that, but you can't really brain dump in obsidian the same way you can in logseq.

Same page as you. I found Obsidian but deferred to Logseq instead for two reasons:

Open source
The block editor

But seeing this post reaffirms I should find an alternative. They want collaborative features, etc. That roadmap is very different from what I was wanting out of a "second brain".

I have already been considering switching back to Obsidian and pairing it with Quartz for publishing.

AnyType seemed close as well, but it has a ton of features I wouldn't use and it's not clear to me how I could generate a website from it.
