I’ve gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.
I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.
Considering:
- Joplin
- Logseq
- SiYuan
- ?
Obsidian with syncthing works offline.
Obsidian with synchronization to my Nextcloud instance
I use Logseq in my PC and my phone and I unse Syncthing to sync the notes accross my devices.
Emacs. Org. Mode.
Use Orgzly Revived for mobile sharing.
I use text files and grep
- Mobile: Nextcloud Notes
- Desktop: Qownnotes or vim
- Server: Nextcloud (+Qownnotes addon)
Much better solution than Joplin, no database or cryptic file names, just plain markdown files on every device you can imagine. Simple and future proof.
Logseq!
I really want a FOSS solution for my notetaking, but I feel like I want too much. I love how well OneNote works with my Surface in terms of drawing notes, but I also love writing notes in Markdown and graph structure. I’ve at least been trying out Dendron for the latter, and it’s been alright.
It doesn’t look like you can draw in your notes, but this looks good! I think I might give it a try.
Joplin on a docker macvlan thru NGNIX proximanager via some proxied website name from cloud flare. My phone goes to the mynotes.website.com name, it gets proxied to my IP, the traffic hits my NGNIX server, then it tosses it to Joplin. Lol it works.
Apparently I’m in the minority, but I love Logseq. I’ve used it with Syncthing for personal notes and grad school for the past three years with no hiccups. Maybe my success with it is partially due to nested bullet points already being how my brain works but the default paradigm is perfect for me.
The plain markdown files are organized reasonably, so I can straight up use Vim as my notes editor if I want.
Tags (#) create a new page to easily circle back to topics later without interrupting your thought pattern to make that structure manually. Once you leave edit mode for the line the tag becomes a link to that page. Some of my favorites are #clothes-that-fit (where I can easily embed a picture of the tag of what I’m trying on to look for deals online later), or #reading-list.
It’s just so useful.
Joplin synched with syncthing (or Synchthing.fork on android).
I do the same, but I’ve run into a bottleneck where Joplin syncs encrypted notes really, really slowly to local storage. So looking to switch to hosted Joplin server
@ocean maybe @notesnook is something for you.
It’s even E2E encrypted in case somebody got access to your server or so.https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook-sync-server?tab=readme-ov-file#notesnook-sync-server
Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍
Recently discovered KleverNotes by KDE, while only a desktop app it’s really really nice! It’s dead simple and straight to the point markdown editor. Recommend folks to check it out.
Remnote, sadly i believe there are substantially better places for sync capable noting but theyre all either paid or use third party bs like gdrive. Need joplin and proton drive to work something out!
