FOSS alternative to Google Keep - eviltoast

Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I’m looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

  • nice design (including color coding)
  • easy checklists
  • sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
  • pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don’t mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

    They’re adding a database to back it?

    That’s off putting, I liked its simplicity, and it’s being open source.

        Same page as you. I found Obsidian but deferred to Logseq instead for two reasons:

        • Open source
        • The block editor

        But seeing this post reaffirms I should find an alternative. They want collaborative features, etc. That roadmap is very different from what I was wanting out of a “second brain”.

        I have already been considering switching back to Obsidian and pairing it with Quartz for publishing.

        AnyType seemed close as well, but it has a ton of features I wouldn’t use and it’s not clear to me how I could generate a website from it.
