notes VS Joplin

Vjournal support in Notes app https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/issues/197

However, since this requires authentication, you could also simply use the nextcloud web UI and create markdown files directly. Or you can use the notes app. There even is a diary app.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't tick anything from the encryption boxes, right? E2E encryption was requested in February 2020 and nobody wants to work on it.

For my notes : Emacs + Nextcloud (with the Notes plugin)

NC Notes to keep track of notes and all kinds of information

NextCloud Notes looks pretty similar to notion from what I’ve seen if you wanted the data under your control you could host a server: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/notes

I missed the part about it being only partially-shared. What you're trying to do is apparently being worked on.. for the past 6 years. Shared notes drop into the root directory of the sharee, rather than the notes directory, which then needs to be moved manually for the note app to pick it up. This is a bit of a trial :P

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.
