Selfhosted

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

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

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

any text editor... no, literally

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

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

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

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.

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++

notepad

I'm using trilium and very happy with it.

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

Hedgedoc and Nextcloud Notes

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.

Logseq

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

Not exactly self-hosted but, I like UpNote a lot.

It's reasonably simple but, powerful enough for me, and it's fast & intuitive

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.

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