Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application - eviltoast

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.

    Obsidian is a brilliant note app, it’s free provided you setup your cloud sync solution (I use syncthing) as it just creates .md files that you can do whatever you want with

          Indeed. Everything is stored in plain markdown files you can move around and edit elsewhere. I’d like to use a FOSS alternative when I can, but second best is something I can easily jump ship from and not lose data.

            Markor is FOSS and stores notes as md or txt files. I like that feature as well, I can sync it to outside devices and not need any specific app to open them.
