Looking for a note-taking app, preferably that I could use straight from a browser. I’m currently using Standard Notes. Not sure if that one is any good, but E2EE and open-source which at least checks those boxes. I don’t store anything too sensitive and I don’t need a whole bunch of features, though I suppose I’d use them if they were available.

I’m honestly not too picky but maybe discussion here could help someone else out who may be looking for the same thing with higher expectations? I’ll switch over to a better option if there’s something considerably better.

Thanks in advance

Standard notes seemed fine for a non syncing app. I think it's the syncing features everyone has issues with.

Joplin is great an encrypts everything (if you want). You can host the synced notes yourself and you can install a web frontend if you're into such a thing. I use it on mobile, windows and Linux where it works great

I recently started to directly use KeePassDX even for notes (since I sync it with syncthing) and I must say it's very good.

I use rhodia, usually with sailor, as for me it is most private

SiYuan (GPL) is probably the most advanced. You can get it off github. I haven't found anything that compares in terms of notes based features. Appflowy and Affine also are open source and have good note taking capabilities.
