Selfhosted

VSCode + Foam + gitea (+ hexcalidraw if you want to draw)

This was a good topic to bring up, saw some stuff I have not heard of. Thanks.

I've tried lot of different apps, but I think I've settled on Trilium for now.

It doesn't have a great mobile experience, but the web app works fine on mobile. The app in general is super customizable and way easier to write scripts / plugins for.

I used to use Joplin, I liked that it integrated with my Nextcloud, and the markdown format. However, the way that it handles the markdown files was too black-boxey to me, with the way it split them up in a weird scheme.

Now I use Ghostwriter with straight markdown files inside my Nextcloud folder. So I still get the syncing functionality, but a more flexible setup that doesn't require a specific app to access all of my notes.

I still use Keep. That have yet to fuck it up, but I'm sure they will eventually. Just like every god damn thing they do.

I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

I like tags, I would like them to add a "directory tree" type of view to help sort "folders" (the thing they call "notebooks") but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular "HOWTO's" and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them

any text editor... no, literally

OneNote was my favorite until it started crashing on my iPad every 3 minutes.

For long-term, permanent notes, I'm using Obsidian with Nextcloud and FolderSync Pro (which I also use for backing up some Android stuff to my Nextcloud).

For quick, easy notes while on the go (or that I need quick access to while out and about), I use Memos, which is more of a Google Keep replacement.

Siyuan. Ive been using it for a while now and find it very effective for my needs. Its gone through quite a few updates since i started using it and became open source in that time. It even has an android version as well which i do have installed on my phone but admittingly rarely use. I prefer writing information on a keyboard generally.

I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It's not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs

I use silverbullet, it is great for tasks and notes! https://silverbullet.md/ - the manual itself uses it, so it is both a manual and a demo page

Logseq

notepad

I'm using Notion for everything now. I heavily rely on reminders scattered everywhere because Todo lists don't work for me.

Hedgedoc and Nextcloud Notes

Markor + synvthing

Joplin uses it's own database so interoperability is not perfect. Markor is so effing cool. That's on Android. On the laptop I use want ever is best suited for the task. Most often, a vim variant of notepad++

I'm using trilium and very happy with it.

Notally on Android. Simple and light weight. Has widget support too.

Notesnook

Perhaps not as full featured as the others, but I host wiki.js for my knowledge base on my local server.

I used logseq for my first semester of university and I can't see any reason to switch right now.

It handles markdown and KaTeX, so it handles everything I need really, in a fast simple program.

Emacs+org-mode

I use https://simplenote.com/ I was thinking about switching to a Foss alternative from fdroid but haven't yet. Works good for me.
