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!

Carnet on Nextcloud is currently the "closest" I've found but it needs a ton of TLC. Sharing notes currently only works on the dev build. I keep telling myself I'll fix it but can't find the time. If anyone wants some open source contributions the maintainer has asked for help

This feels a lot like Nextcloud Notes but the editor seems a bit clunky (like the web editor).

It's much more powerful though. Based on Org-Mode.

Ahhh, OK. Maybe I'll give it another try. Was debating on contributing a sync PR (I made OwnNote back in the day for Owncloud so know the method for Nextcloud pretty well), but the lack of an issue tracker worries me.

Well. I have used https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android for ages... Guess that will continue?

That is not good news at all!

I’m happy with standard notes. Very easy to use and you don’t need to sync files across devices yourself. I’m not sure if it’s possible to share the notes tho.
