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.

Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I'm looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

  • nice design (including color coding)
  • easy checklists
  • sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
  • pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don't mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

Basically unmaintained at this point until they release the DB version "some day". And you're delusional if you think they can maintain both versions at the same time. They can't even update the current production version that they already have without focusing all their efforts on a new app that hasn't been released yet.

They're adding a database to back it?

That's off putting, I liked its simplicity, and it's being open source.

I get it. And I don't necessarily disagree with them, but it gives me concerns over the long term viability of the project. If obsidian did blocks the same way logseq did I'd probably jump ship and use that, but you can't really brain dump in obsidian the same way you can in logseq.

Same page as you. I found Obsidian but deferred to Logseq instead for two reasons:

  • Open source
  • The block editor

But seeing this post reaffirms I should find an alternative. They want collaborative features, etc. That roadmap is very different from what I was wanting out of a "second brain".

I have already been considering switching back to Obsidian and pairing it with Quartz for publishing.

AnyType seemed close as well, but it has a ton of features I wouldn't use and it's not clear to me how I could generate a website from it.
