What do you use for notes?

[tal@lemmy.today]

Org-mode in emacs.

There are various mobile clients.

If you have something to synch files, it's just syncing org files. Probably mostly interesting to people who use a lot of emacs on a PC, though.

Mobile offline sync is a lost cause. The dev environment, even on Android, is so hostile you'll never get a good experience.

Joplin comes close, but it's still extremely unreliable and I've had many dropped notes. It also takes hours to sync a large corpus.

I wrote my own web app using Axum and flask that I use. Check out dokuwiki as well.

For notes??

[asparagus0098@sh.itjust.works]

Obsidian with syncthing for syncing between my phone and PC.

[ikidd@lemmy.world]

I've used Joplin for years. IDK why people have a hate on for it, it's fine.

[akilou@sh.itjust.works]

Obsidian and it syncs to my home server

[cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca]

I've been happy with joplin, I leave it on my nextcloud

[novice_idiot@lemmy.wtf]

Oh I'm ashamed of this one, but notability on a second hand iPad for handwritten and otherwise notion. I'm sorry but nothing has its polish, goodnotes just isn't good enough and doesn't have enough setting to make it good either. I refuse to use one note. In regards to notion it's the sharing and collaboration features that are killer.

[bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml]

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!

[appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I expected obsidian to not store the kb locally with bare files but more like in a microsoft cloud-like approach.
Oh well. At least it's stable and has partly a transactional sync history.

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.

[presi300@lemmy.world]

Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done

[0x0@programming.dev]

Joplin synched with syncthing (or Synchthing.fork on android).

[0x0@programming.dev]

I kinda like joplin's groupable notes... then again "flat" is in the name... maybe... interesting...

[sunstoned@lemmus.org]

I haven't experienced that at all and I embed all kinds of pictures and links in my 2-3 years of grad school + personal notes. How many is "a lot" to you?

If it genuinely is a logeq problem did you ever try splitting notes into multiple graphs for different topics?

[sunstoned@lemmus.org]

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.

[bobsaccountant@lemmy.world]

I've been using this, as well. They default to hosting your "vault." It does peer-to-peer syncing, if you don't want to have a server involved at all. I'm running their self-hosted server, but that's only after I decided that AnyType was what I was looking for. I really like that it's object based, so you can create templates for things like meetings that are their own type, separate from a bog-standard page.

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.

[nek0d3r@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

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.

[amassaro@mastodon.uno]

@nek0d3r @ocean how about StandardNotes?
