Joplin alternative? (feddit.it)

I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser... Which is not supported.

Are there good alternatives that are:

fully open source
have android client
have web client or viewer
can be synched VOA WebDAV or native method

I can also settle for a Joplin web viewer of sorts!

UPDATE: i opened up a can of worms. I would have never tought there would be so many tools for this task, and so many different shades of how it can be done. Even excluding ALL the non-truly-FOSS solutions out there, there are still tons of tools with good points and bad points. Of course, NONE fits my bill so i will spin mine… Joking, i have no time for that.

Using joplib-webview feels too much. Spinning containers just for that meh. Will try tough. The joplin .md files are only "sync" files, from which yo ucan probably extract the notes. But that would be not the best idea. Maybe some kind of link to Joplin terminal would be the way forward. I will see.

I will stay on Joplin, it's the closest i could find to what i need, the only lacking is a web viewer, which i can live without for the time being after all.

Thank you all, and to anybody still chiming in!

This. Save yourself some time and just go with Trillium. It does not have a native mobile app yet, but when it does, there'll be nothing to compare! :P

i sort of made the native app myself using an android app called hermit that is meant for that kind of thing.
