Notesnook has been down for about a day, consistent crashes despite deleting it and reinstalling. I don’t seem to be the only one as evidenced by the users voicing this concern on their Github page.

So, while imagining Notesnook will never get back up, what would be some alternatives to it? I’ve tried out Joplin, Quillpad, and Notally in the past, but none really stuck with me. I don’t use Nextcloud either. From what I’ve heard, many seem happy with Standard Notes and Markor. Anything y’all can vouch for?

Looking for an alternative that gets as close to Notesnook as possible, without a subscription model.

I just started playing with this yesterday, no opinion yet…

The Android app Tiddloid Lite does work and can save to an SD card.

Also like Markor and use it.

I really recommended Silverbullet.md, veryf efficient fast and clean. You can also self host it

You may want to test Trilium Next, you can self host it and it has a lot of features. Used Logseq before but got tired of syncing on all devices.

I’ve been trying out Logseq the past couple days, which I guess is an alternative to Obsidian (never tried that). Can’t say I really understand the point or appropriate workflow of notes in a “graph” structure rather than a tree structure though (or the purpose of a journal). I like Joplin, but I’ve been having trouble with syncing on Android.

Graph can be flat and enriched with tags to allow for good searching \ filtering

I tried LogSeq but found it clumsy to navigate. I am going to take a look at TriliumNext. Right now am using QOwnNotes which is simpler but I’m all for that. The issue to me is, it isn’t wysiwyg. There’s an editor panel AND a vizualisation panel, and that seems a bit redundant to me. Otherwise it’s fantastic

You mention Quillpad, so I assume this is for Android. If so, I went through a similar search after dropping NextCloud. I ended up with GitJournal. The app is nice and has all the features I need. I have it backed with self-hosted Forgejo. If I need to make a note on a desk/laptop, I can clone the repo and use whatever text editor I like since it’s all just markdown. I even have vs code server set up for quick notes on the web

😮4$ on iPhone VS free on Android +35$ to unlock tags and backlink

Would have loved testing it, if there was a way for free trial 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I will not buy the cat in the bag…

You only need to pay for pro features, which I haven’t had the need for

Sweet I’ve been looking for a notes app with git integration!

Couldn’t find it on fdroid unfortunately, so I have some digging to do I think.

I found it using the search in Neo Store, but you should be able to add this repo to F-Droid: https://gitjournal.io/fdroid/repo
