Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Right, obsidian didn't appeal to me since it's proprietary.
I probably will look into setting up a Joplin server and maybe write a frontend for it. Also didn't try frontend options on PC yet.
Until now I only tried the Android app and while it looked quite mature, I didn't get quite the UX from it I was anticipating.
Some things that bothered me:
Creating a note requires 2 clicks, 1 should be fine.I want to start writing and decide whether its a todo later.
Tag management. In Keep #tags are parsed from text automatically. Although there is a conflict with markdown syntax, having to issue 3 clicks to add a tag seems bothersome
Tags are not shown in the main menu, but are another view.
Didn't figure out what notebooks are supposed to be, but i guess some kind of directory system. Don't see the point when having a tag system. In the end they are too prominent in the UI.
But the synchronization options and markdown capabilities are a big plus. mardown is actually a feature missing in keep.
I'm a Joplin contributor and if you think the android app is halfway decent, that's a win ahahaha. The desktop apps are what makes it a superstar though, with all the plugins and community. The mobile apps have been slowly modernizing but it's real basic
Obsidian is just a glorified markdown editor and there are some open source plugins for sync that you can self host if you want!
