Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.
Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.
Joplin + Syncthing is great, as other people suggested.
I keep it even more simple: I write stuff in markdown, share my
.mdfiles with Syncthing and edit them with markdown editors.The best I’ve tried so far for Android is Markor, while on Linux I either use Ghostwriter (on KDE) or Marker (on Gnome)
If you want a really fancy markdown note-taking app try obsidian.md. Unfortunately not FOSS so perhaps not the solution for OP, but free for non-commercial use in case anyone else is interested.
That’s all I had to hear
Nice foss alternative to obsidian is Logseq. Not completely feature for feature, but still very cool and powerful. I use it daily.
I’ve been using a Foss alternative called Logseq that’s very similar.
Does logseq have tagging and an ability to query like data view in obsidian?
It’ll automatically show tagged blocks from other pages in a special section. I don’t know if it has anything as advanced as data view though, I haven’t felt the need for anything other than displaying references. The plugin ecosystem seems decent, but I mostly just use basic functionality.
