Joplin
- Joplin is an open source note-taking app

My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file
I use https://joplinapp.org because it allows for pasting images and files.
Has easy sync and also mobile and desktop apps.
Free and open source.
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.

Why I Like Obsidian
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.

Ask HN: What do you use for note-taking or as knowledge base?
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.

Why I Like Obsidian
Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm.
Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issues with plugin maintainers abandoning plugins you rely on, or needing to make a decision between three different plugins that all do the same thing slightly different. Depending on your use case and expectations that may not be a big deal, but I really missed not having what I personally saw as core features not being officially supported.
(Also, FWIW, the sync service is a bit pricy for what it is. I get that it's how they're trying to monetise it, but...I would have preferred another pricing model, even if the total cost was just as high.)
I've personally switched to Trilium Notes which I'm finding nicer. One element I particularly like is that it has first class suport for notes being able to exist at multiple places in a tree simultaneously. I know it's a very personal thing, but for me personally being able to file notes in multiple locations "clicks" in a way that tags didn't.

Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers
I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases.
- Ideal Note-Taking Platform?

Alternative to Joplin that is web-based based?
Try outline or trillium

Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
In case if you want some Evernote alternatives, here's my shortlist:
1. Trilium Notes: https://github.com/zadam/trilium
- Why is Trilium so unknown?

Does anyone have a good note-taking system?
To my understating, you can pay to have Obsidian notes sync. I know nothing of the security around the encryption. One of the main reasons that I went with Joplin Notes over Obsidian is that Joplin gave me the ability to sync without paying for access to a server that I don't know well enough to trust. There is also Trilium notes (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). However, that did not over a sync feature last time I looked into it. I actually tried Trilium notes before I ultimately went with Joplin Notes.
