I use it for note taking at work. I like that I can add code into markdown. But yeah post notes and paste screenshots. Useful when I want to go over my old tech notes when I've fixed stuff. A personal knowledge base. The fact it's markdown I could just upload this to somewhere like GitHub and it retains it's formatting
-
Oh I don't disagree, it is worth it. I ended up paying for it myself before I switched to Joplin. I just went down a rabbit hole of realizing I technically could self host the backend and stubbornly tried to make it work well beyond what was good sense at the time.
-
A very successful one with a large extension ecosystem to boot.
-
You can choose to look at it like that, but for me, it was too big of a hassle and switched to appFlowy
-
The git plugin commits automatically. All configurable. I've set it up on both PC and Android once at the beginning and I didn't have to think about it ever again.
-
What sort of extensions would one use for a note taking app? What sort of notes to you take with it?
-
I use mermaid and git extensions personally.
Lots of AI bros add LLMs to it but that's not my cup of tea
-
You could use regular Syncthing for any device other than iOS. And for iOS you could use Sushitrain/Synctrain: https://github.com/pixelspark/sushitrain
-
There's lots of types, think even stuff like d&d monster blocks, or custom date ones

It's like trillium, but not open source
Here is an enthusiastic person talking about the state of the art of one year ago for 20 minute.

technically yes. they just recently made the sync server open source - https://github.com/streetwriters/notesnook-sync-server - but their documentation for it is still pending.
I've been following their progress for a while and can say that they appear to be following through on all their goals. and are very responsive to issues on GitHub. but don't take my word for it, check out their roadmap to see when they release the self hosting documentation- https://notesnook.com/roadmap/

Did you make it work? I kind of remember trying but failing. The promise of self host is a soothing edge against feature backsliding (enshittification) so it's a great selling point. But not if you try and it's not actually practical (looking at you signal)
-
Me too! I've been having a blast with it today. It's so much more fluid and intuitive. I already have Syncthing set up everywhere (for Logseq) so there's been almost no friction at all.
I'm unreasonably happy about this

Weekly.
As a personal knowledgebase and todo list. -
For the movies I use Jellyfin/Trakt and for what I still want I use the *arrs.
-
I've had zero problems with Dropbox.
-
It's my trapper keeper. I feed everything into it. I've got vaults within vaults.

I mean, that is an absolutely batshit insane price for storage. Backblaze is $6 per month for 1TB, and Hetzner is 4β¬ per month for 1TB, so literally 1000x cheaper, but you are also paying for development and the sync software.
I almost have my company going on putting our QMS wiki on obsidian because excalidraw with clickable objects works so nicely and it can visualize our process, but for some reason commercial was showing up as 50 USD per month per user, so they couldn't justify getting licenses but now it is showing up as 50 USD per year which is way way way more reasonable.
-
It doesn't matter if it's a "far more organised approach", logseq simply doesn't fit many types of workflows for note taking.
logseq is a zettelkasten program; Obsidian is a text editor
