I’ve gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.

I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.

Considering:

  • Joplin
  • Logseq
  • SiYuan
  • ?

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

      Same, the builtin sync between devices using WebDAV was the critical feature for me choosing Joplin over Obsidian.

      I did too with the joplin sync server until, without a failure or any error messages, it ate all my notes.

    Trillium. It works well via browser and reasonably on a mobile browser.

    Obsidian is excellent but I can’t install any applications on my work computer and the web hosted version was buggy and slow. If I didn’t have IT blocking me I’d be using Obsidian again.

    I use obsidian but I wish there was an open source notes platform that could do what I want:

    1. Excalidraw support ( or similar ) with PDF import and annotation support ( this is achieved by a plugin on obsidian )
    2. Vim mode
    3. Markdown for everything

    I have tried so many notetaking tools and the closest I ever got was using xournalpp for PDF annotation and drawing, then writing plain markdown in helix / neovim, with a live markdown rendering pane on the side. Was just too clunky though.

    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.

    Obsidian + syncthing on both my computer and android phone. I love that I can selectively sync certain folders to my phone so not everything is there slowing it down.

    I want to like logseq but all the bullet points feels weird to me.

      Logseq is also really really slow once you have a lot of notes unfortunately.

        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?

    Flat notes. I’ve tried a bunch of different more complex apps but I keep coming back to flat notes.

    I currently have some notes in Nextcloud notes which I quite like. I don’t need anything too fancy. Markdown is nice to have, but not required if there is some ui way to make checkboxes. If I remember correctly, in the nextcloud notes app you have to set the folder that it uses. Which makes shared notes impractical, if not impossible.

    Because of this, I still have several notes shared with my wife in Google keep for things like shopping lists. I’m tempted to test out the shopping list function in home assistant, but not sure if it will fit the needs. Would be nice to find something that covers all my use cases in one app.

    TXT files I sync with syncthing.

    Use amaze file manager built in txt editor on android and vim on desktop.
