contacts VS Joplin

Either a built-in mail/calendar/contact server

NC Mail, NC Calender, and NC Contacts, as groupware solution

CONS: - May be too heavy if you are only looking for tasks and have no interest in any of the other features. - Problem with the CardDAV implementation used by Nextcloud (Github issue #1107) and seemingly other apps that use the Sabre DAV library (Baikal, etc.) means contacts do not sync properly with iOS.

Expandable with hundreds of Apps: like Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Video Chat and all those you can discover in our App Store

See this bug https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/1985 , no resolution so far

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
