Hi.
I’m curently using Nextcloud notes for its convenience. I use the app on my phone, and the webui on my pc.
I’m willing to ditch Nextcloud as a whole, so I want to replace my note taking habits.
I’ve tried Trilium, which lacks an Android app, and I feel the WPA makes the UI unpractical and hard to read.
I’ve tried Joplin, but it lacks a webui.
Are there other alternatives I’ve missed out ?
Solution: I ended up finding Flatnotes. It’s dead simple to run and to use, has markdown and WYSIWYG, and the WPA is flawless.
You must log in or # to comment.
Obsidian
While there seems to be a selhosted version, I can’t log to it with the proprietary android app.
Came here to say the same thing.
At the end of the day you simply can not beat unreasonable effectiveness of plaintext.
I asked this a couple of weeks ago, there were many solid suggestions: https://lemm.ee/post/4593760
I ended up with Joplin and am very happy with it.
I started on a similar journey (escaping from Evernote rather than Nextcloud), and ended up on Silverbullet run at home and accessed over Tailscale. It is a bit of a different approach and has a small upfront learning time. I love having all my notes as reasonably plain markdown, so if I ever want to change my solution, my data’s in an easily movable format - for example changing to Obsidian would not involve any import/export.
Anytype - An open-source Notion alternative.
org-mode/org-roam in Emacs, on Orgzly mobile, synchronization via git.
If you’ve used Anytype, can you share your experience? I have an account and I’d like to move over some of my Notion content, but haven’t had time to try it yet.
No, I haven’t used Anytype, I know it as an alternative to cloud proprietary Notion/Obsidian
Thanks for going back and updating with your solution - I’m gonna check that out.
The WebApp for trillium works great compared to the desktop app. You won’t tell a difference
Notesnook is not ready for self-hosting yet, but it’s up next on their roadmap. I’ve been trying it out in advance and it seems to work ok. The only issue I have with it is that it logs you out of the apps way too often.
Looks promising. I’ll be following. Thanks
Joplin via Dropbox (free account) is effortless and painless. I used to sync it via nextcloud and it always gave me issues. It has an iOS, Android, and Desktop app so why do you need Web Ui?
A webui can be extremely useful on, say, a work computer with strict install policies, or if you’re borrowing someone else’s machine and need to look something up (maybe you’re fixing or installing something on someone else’s computer and want your notes easily accessible).
Makes sense
Memos might do the trick for you. There is a 3rd party android native app, but I found the PWA to be quite good. Markdown is stored in a single sqlite db file though, if that bugs you.
I use memos already, but for another purpose. This app is great :)
