A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Any recommendations for a self hosted note taking app that runs on everything with a screen and is designed for multi device usage?

Also a modern, powerful and puristic UI would be a must have to compete with Keep.

I am looking for this app every now and then but am always disappointed by the choices.

I recently tried Joplin on Android, but was very dissatisfied with the usabilty.

The FOSS self hosted alternatives for smart home and porn are better than the commercial ones, can't be that hard for notes, can it?

I'm a big fan of Logseq. I use Syncthing to sync a folder between my desktop and phone and it works great. Tagging, everything is in markdown, and it's easy to navigate around.

I use a basic markdown editor on android called Markor. Is Logseq the same? Or is it more than that?

Definitely more. It's geared to note taking, with hashtags, wiki-like linking, and loads of other features. The main page is here.

i made the same migration from markor (files in a folder) to logseq. there's a lot to be gained - always-preview alone is a game changer - but on mobile the visibility of the keyboard can be fiddly. once in a while you'll feel like you're in vi, it has such a mind of its own. but i'm not planning to go back

Is there any mobile app for it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's on the Apple app store, and the Android version is available directly from their GitHub release page as an APK, or on F-Droid.
