What do you use for notes? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.selfhostcat.com/post/93395

I've gone handwritten, obsidian, onenote, and now Trilium. Considering switching to something else because there is no offline mobile support.

I use memos and trilium together but since neither offers mobile offline support considering switching both. No reason to run two services when I could run one.

Considering:

  • Joplin
  • Logseq
  • SiYuan
  • ?

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.

Logseq is also really really slow once you have a lot of notes unfortunately.

Obsidian and it syncs to my home server

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.

org-roam but logseq is good too.

I've used Logseq for 2-3 years but it's slow and a pain to use on mobile. I discovered Tiddlywiki in December, I love how customizable it is, but it's been taking me a while to tweak it to match my usual workflow. Running it via nodejs server on android (termux) and laptops (so I'm accessing it on localhost on all devices) and syncing the wikis between devices using Syncthing.

I've used a bunch, but I eventually moved to SilverBullet and will probably stick with it.

If you're considering (something) + Syncthing, try Orgmode. It looks like Markdown but has a lot of features for note management and navigation.

Flat notes. I’ve tried a bunch of different more complex apps but I keep coming back to flat notes.

As in a folder of text files? Because that's what I'm doing. Syncing across devices with Syncthing and editing/adding files with whatever markdown editor works best in each platform.
