    I’ve never used a proper note taking app, but recently started using Tana (Startup, free-to-use with some limitations after giving a credit card and cancelling during a two week trial).

    It’s not open source and it only supports full HTML bulleted list or a heavily proprietary JSON format (which is kinda useless outside Tana) exports. Also most of the paid features are AI BS which I don’t mind missing out on, but there are file-size limits on the free version.

    However, I’m finding the UX and features so far amazing! It’s got easy relationships and a tagging hierarchy systems to which you can add fields and it supports a whole bunch of view options and query stuff. You can scroll through this 46 min YT video to get a feel for it!

    What’s everyone’s goto app for sharing notes with others? I’m looking for something to share grocery lists and whatnot with my SO, and I want as little friction as possible.

    I have some self-hosted services, but I didn’t like NextCloud notes and one or two others I’ve tried. It doesn’t need to be fancy, but I would very much like checkboxes that I can… check. I don’t need users, and honestly, no user accounts could be super nice, just attach a URL and go for it.

    So yeah, slight preference for self-hostable services, but I’m fine with anything, provided it’s reasonably privacy friendly (nobody else needs to know the quantity or size of our sex toys lol).

      And with Obsidian I still own my files, which are just in markdown and can be read by literally any other program.

    I found no replacement for notion that uses this block structure. I love it, but notion sucks so much aaaaaaassss. I wanna move, but every export feature breaks something in my structure and i hate it :(

        Unlike every other note app I’ve ever used, you don’t need to organize things manually or manage an organizational hierarchy (like folders, etc). That’s where I always fall over in other apps, eventually. Organization happens automatically in Logseq.

        It gives you a new, date-stamped journal entry everyday, and you jot down notes in that. You can link to other pages just by adding a hashtag or using 2 square brackets around some text. Each link/hashtag is automatically given its own page, and if you visit it, you’ll see all your mentions of this page, neatly organized in a chronological order by the date. So think about daily work on a project/goal, or anything around a specific topic, all of it is automatically organized for you.

        Under the hood, all the links form a graph and Logseq is backed by a graph database, so it visualizes this graph for you and gives you some powerful querying tools on top of it too.

    I have a Synology NAS which has the DS Note app which gives you self-hosted cloud notes on mobile. It’s not the best app but it’s better than google

    I chose Nextcloud Notes because I already have it anyway, and it’s good enough for me.

      Just a friendly reminder that if you use an external nextcloud, that it is most likely unencrypted. The recommendations in the post body (or my own, like using https://cryptpad.fr/) are probably a better choice if you are not self hosting nextcloud yourself.

      However if you are self hosting it, it should be fine 👍 KIM these are just recommendations :)

      Why not Cryptpad?

      They took some decent software and added collaboration features on top

        How are their android apps though? As far as I’m concerned, that is the difference between a word processor and a note application

    I like Joplin, and I’ll use Standard Notes as soon as I don’t have to pay extra, I’m already paying Proton.

    Can someone please explain what is meant by being a few clicks away from notes being public or deleted?

      Probably referring to the fact that, since a company hosts your notes, the notes are at their mercy.

      They could delete them or release them. Accidentally or on purpose.

      My guess they mean that you or someone on the app side can either purposely or accidentally make your notes public or delete them.

    Is this really true about Keep? I mean, I know it’s a Google product, but is it really that insecure? I’ve never heard much negative stuff about it.

    I still use a pen and notebook. But I have an excuse: I prefer pen and paper to write (and I’m starting to get old too) ;)

    The only digital note taking app I still use is the one that comes with the E2EE filen.io cloud storage, from Germany. It certainly is very limited but it’s more than enough for my occasional note-taking usage and it’s synced everywhere I may need to access it.

      I’m 99% sure they ripped the note editing functionality from Standard Notes.

      Which would upset me, except Standard Notes borrowed a lot of code for the editors from other people, and try to sell them back to you with a yearly license, even if you host your own server.
