  Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  

Not exactly open source, but as far as "alternatives to Evernote" goes, I've been told about Obsidian[0] (though I've not jumped in yet), which has plugins for OCR and web clipping, and considering the community, I'd be surprised if related notes aren't a thing.

I use Joplin as well. I wrote a small (fairly ad-hoc) script to turn a Joplin database into a Zola/Gitbook static site:

• GitJournal

  54 3,308 8.1 Dart

  Mobile first Note Taking integrated with Git

  

I love how more and more of us are using Git to store our notes, though in this case it's more coupled to GitHub than Git. If there is already a need to self-host this, then why not just hook into git and make this more generic?

In fact, why is a Postgres database even needed?

Please note that I'm biased. I work on [GitJournal](https://gitjournal.io) which is similar, but only mobile based.

• Gitea

  280 41,851 10.0 Go

  Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  

I didn't know it was required.

I'll shoot them an email and ask, and maybe accordingly change the name. In the case of Gitea [0], there doesn't seem to have been any response.

Thanks for bringing this up. Though I wonder how well can "Software Freedom Conservancy" claim "GitSomething" is not allowed when there are clearly so so many projects doing it. Eg - Gitolite / Gittea. Trademarks are only so good as long as they are enforced.

• bangle-io

  20 988 6.3 TypeScript

  A web only WYSIWYG note taking app that saves notes locally in markdown format.

  

I would suggest trying out bangle.io [1] - an opens source markdown web app that is completely local and will support GitHub based syncing.

• logseq

  544 29,702 9.9 Clojure

  A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

  

If you like Obsidian, check out Logseq. Both handle plain-text Markdown, so you can use them interchangeably. Logseq also handles Org-mode files, if that’s your thing. Everything is local, but works well with cloud storage. There’s also an iOS app. It’s worth a look. (No affiliation)

I'm not a big fan of react-native. I've tried it earlier and the app size is huge as it has to bundle so many things to make it work on android. So I prefer java/kotlin for android app which is compact and performant than react-native.

BTW I'm also checking if https://fyne.io/ can be used. I'll love to use golang for the app :)
