Orgzly + Syncthing

Joplin on a docker macvlan thru NGNIX proximanager via some proxied website name from cloud flare. My phone goes to the mynotes.website.com name, it gets proxied to my IP, the traffic hits my NGNIX server, then it tosses it to Joplin. Lol it works.

@ocean maybe @notesnook is something for you.
It’s even E2E encrypted in case somebody got access to your server or so.

Nextcloud notes, it gets the job done 👍

Oh I’m ashamed of this one, but notability on a second hand iPad for handwritten and otherwise notion. I’m sorry but nothing has its polish, goodnotes just isn’t good enough and doesn’t have enough setting to make it good either. I refuse to use one note. In regards to notion it’s the sharing and collaboration features that are killer.

I use Logseq in my PC and my phone and I unse Syncthing to sync the notes accross my devices.

It depends on the notes, for me:

I’ve had an oddly long-running obsession with Tiddlywiki!

It has a bit of a learning curve, but it’s VERY flexible. My favorite part being that by default it’s just a single, portable, HTML file. No special app required besides a browser, no accounts, and you can just sync it like any other file. (Syncthing, Nextcloud, and friends)

There’s also an app called Tiddloid for Android to make managing and saving a little easier, but they open in any browser.

I have a Tiddlywiki that I use like one might use Obsidian, where I just stash stuff I’ll want to remember and maybe link between similar ideas.

And then I’m currently trying to use it to make a solution to sketch out my Savage Worlds RPG campaigns. It gets a little tricky but you can make templates, script buttons, and that kind of thing. If you’re already comfortable with web stuff you’ll probably catch on WAY better than I have.

You can also host it as a website, or on your server or whatever, to use it like any other wiki. There’s also plugins to use Markdown instead of “wikitext.”

There’s also an excellent guide to learning it at https://groktiddlywiki.com/read/ . It’s basically an online workbook using Tiddlywiki itself!

The community is also super helpful. I do wish it had a little more out of the box, but something about a customizable, portable, digital “notebook” that doesn’t require an account or hopefully-supported-in-5-years application is SUPER appealing to me. It’s quite underrated.

Also just for fun I wanted to share my favorite example someone’s been working on for quite some time now, a heavily customized D&D wiki

Tiddlywiki can be a bit dense and the documentation is slowly improving, but there’s so much potential!

Obsidian with synchronization to my Nextcloud instance

Obsidian + syncthing on both my computer and android phone. I love that I can selectively sync certain folders to my phone so not everything is there slowing it down.

I want to like logseq but all the bullet points feels weird to me.

I’ve used Joplin for years. IDK why people have a hate on for it, it’s fine.

Trillium. It works well via browser and reasonably on a mobile browser.

Obsidian is excellent but I can’t install any applications on my work computer and the web hosted version was buggy and slow. If I didn’t have IT blocking me I’d be using Obsidian again.

I’m using https://anytype.io/. Offline applications for all major systems, synchronization out of the box.

I use logseq. But I’m not entirely happy. Automation of processes is a pain in the ass. Mobile is buggy.

Mostly just copious amounts of “new tab” in notepad++

Obsidian with paid sync feature. Have obsidian on multiple computers and devices and don’t have to deal with setup or management of the sync process.
