Hi.

I’m curently using Nextcloud notes for its convenience. I use the app on my phone, and the webui on my pc.

I’m willing to ditch Nextcloud as a whole, so I want to replace my note taking habits.

I’ve tried Trilium, which lacks an Android app, and I feel the WPA makes the UI unpractical and hard to read.

I’ve tried Joplin, but it lacks a webui.

Are there other alternatives I’ve missed out ?

Solution: I ended up finding Flatnotes. It’s dead simple to run and to use, has markdown and WYSIWYG, and the WPA is flawless.

I quite like Obsidian too. Markdown note app that has desktop & mobile versions. You can create templates and have it so that a new note using a template is opened automatically when you open the app (e.g. for daily notes). It also supports a lot of different community created plugins.

I sync across android & linux via google drive for free, otherwise Obsidian also has a paid sync feature.

While there seems to be a selhosted version, I can’t log to it with the proprietary android app.

I think you can just sync the Obsidian Directory with any cloud service or syncthing and it should work fine.

yup, this is what I do and it works great. just be careful if you add plugins that store a ton of metadata that changes a lot (or logs) because that can lead to some sync conflicts and you might wanna exclude them. I’ve just been ignoring the sync conflicts tho and haven’t had issues yet so maybe you could do the same

Came here to say the same thing.

At the end of the day you simply can not beat unreasonable effectiveness of plaintext.
