Hey everyone, I’m trying to replace most of the private owned app I use by FOSS ones, and today i’m pointing at notion.

I just use it as a way to organize my notes and use it both on my laptop and phone, and i’m looking for something that can have that fonctionnality.

I’ve already looked into a bunch of foss note taking apps but I didn’t see any that could do it. (maybe i didn’t look hard enough tho)

I’m willing to use syncthing or smth similar if needed.

do you have any recommendations? anyway, have a nice day and thanks to everyone making the internet/softwares more libre and accessible!

    It’s like obsidian (I hear) but FOSS. I love it and it’s by far the self hosted service I use most.

    It stores your notes in a plain directory hierarchy of markdown files so you can just point a cron shell script at it to git add/commit/push at your desired internal and you’ve got history tracking/backups too

    Edit: also provides a PWA so you can “install” it on your phone instead of always using a full browser.

    Edit x2: includes a Lua interpreter so you can get scripty with it. I use that functionality more than I expected and I suck at Lua

    Edit x3: and it auto synchs to each device when open with conflict detection. Full copy is stored local to each device, synched when possible

      Lol

      I just researched PWAs with this article.

      PWAs aren’t a silver bullet, but when applied in the right contexts, they continue to offer undeniable benefits

      Now you are telling me silverbullet(.md)

      provides a PWA

        Hehe. So PWAs aren’t a silver bullet but Silverbullet can be a PWA.

        Is that one of those “all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares” type things?
