I used freshrss for quite some time, but the themes always looked a bit “off” for me. Went to miniflux and its awesome in its minimalism.

I didn’t know about öffi, thought it would only cover Germany but it supports much more countries. Thanks for the tip!

Hmm, nocodb is a webapp first and foremost. It does have binaries to run directly on the host, but I’m not entirely sure to recommend this over libreoffice actual app for database management. I believe it would be more in line with OPs requirement.

If you don’t mind clutter free, simple presentations, try hack.md or cryptpad. Both supports markdown styled presentations, both are FOSS cloud applications and the format of the presentation is highly portable.

If you want to get really ambitious, try marp framework for presentations - still markdown but on steroids.

Some are forced to use windows due to workplace requirements or software only running on windows. I run linux everywhere I can, but don’t always have the choice.

Briar, for communication during internet blackouts or when there is no connectivity at all.

Will keep an eye on this, looks interesting!

Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.

You’re asking excellent and very relevant questions.

OP, take heed.

There is at least plugins that enables sync by alternative ways. They’re not as elegant, but work.

Since everything, including settings, is stored in the same root folder as the notes - you can sync your settings along your notes through other tools too.

I used Joplin extensively for ~2 years, but I was constantly put off by the desktop applications UI and how my notes was stored in SQLite. The move to obsidian felt natural and I felt more in ownership over my files in their existing structure. Granted, obsidian is closed source and could go rogue, but when that happens, I am prepared to jump ship without too much pain.

Tell meore about the obsidian plugin, dusbt know of it.

Its no big deal, I’m happy being able to try out various distros (including a rescue-distro) from one USB stick. I rarely need to boot windows from a stick.

Glad it worked out for you! 😊

It didn’t work with windows for me, so I’ve defenestrated it from my USB sticks.

Out of curiosity, have you tries logseq or silverbullet.md? They both have capabilities to query your notes similar to Notion.

I’ve had this challenge with structuring notes-data for a while, but haven’t found something that suits my workflow yet. I have on my list to experiment with a sqlite solution.

I settled on obsidian with the built in sync. The data is as clean as it gets - its very agnostic to the editor as long as it adheres to the markdown standard (plus flavors). I’m aware that I’m creating a dependency on obsidians workflow and plugins, but the cost of switching is very low considering how I use my knowledge base (I could in work case scenario work with my files with standard Unix tools).

You are free to choose whatever tool that works for you, personally I don’t want my notes to be held hostage by a single vendor.

The closest to Anytype is logseq, but silver bullet.md is also awesome. And if you choose another markdown editor, you could use rsync/git/syncthing to synchronize your files.

When it comes to note applications, there is no shortage of them. Just make a informed decision that will serve you well in the long term.

I tried anytype during the alpha, but I understood early on that the data is crippled during export, and the self host node is very cumbersome to set up. Also, I had a gut feeling that it could turn into a enshittified product.

For my usecase, I could achieve my note taking needs by other more established, libre and less complex means.

You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.

I went with freshRSS and was happy to have a SH alternative, but the UI is abhorrent. Even with ReadYou as a 3rd party app the sync of what was read and not was janky. I went with miniflux and couldn’t be happier. The again, my requirements are very basic.
