I didn't used to be a "militant" #FOSS user, but I've been bitten too many times by companies with #proprietarysoftware. For example, #Reason DAW, #Zbrush - both companies that decided to say fuck you to perpetual licenses. Now, I try to avoid any proprietary application. I recently went looking for a good notes app and everyone loves #Obsidian. As soon as I saw it was closed source, I noped out and settled on #Joplin. These companies will eventually fuck over customers so I won't waste my time.
i really like #flatnotes, but it's a little bit too minimalistic ... thinking about switching to another #note taking solution ... but there are so many options. #obsidian , #logseq , #joplin ?
main requirements are that its needs to be quick and easy to use; syncing the notes between desktop and android phone (not through external cloud, needs to be #selfhosted) ... preferrably 100% #foss - so i guess obsidian is already out?
Was möchte man denn für Notizen verwenden, wenn man diese auf #Linux, #Android oder #Windows erstellen und bearbeiten möchte. Verteilt auf verschiedene Geräte sollen diese über #Syncthing werden.
I'm writing a longer (as it seems) article on the lock-in effect of solutions like #Obsidian that are using open formats like #Markdown for storage. The file format is not the only thing that might lock you in.
I did already start with a list of arguments but also want to collect your ideas so that I don't forget a good argument.
Please, no emotions, just facts and objective arguments.
Reply here in this thread and I'll collect ideas from it. 🙇
Want to break free from OneNote? help Joplin test the experience
Joplin team-member, Pedro, is giving OneNote import finishing touches and to test it he needs real life data. So, if you can provide real life data for its testing, you'd make it the experience of moving to Joplin so much easier for thousands users breaking free from OneNote
📓 #LiebesTagebuch Heute nachts eine revidierte Form von #TiddlyWiki aufgesetzt. Bin momentan zufrieden mit meinem neuen Notizbuch. Kostenlos gesichert auf #Nextcloud. Hat zudem eine saubere Oberfläche. Vielleicht anfangs in der Handhabung ein wenig ungewohnt. Sonst begeisternd und auch im Fediverse vertreten: @TiddlyWiki
Nach #Logseq (abstrus nicht linear) und #Joplin (fade linear, fast tägliche Updates) ein machbares und praktisches Format? Nun, wir werden sehen.
Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces! We’re excited that #StandardNotes will be joining the Proton family to bring end-to-end encrypted note-taking to Proton users.
I love the Notes feature in #Vivaldi. Seriously, I use it all the time. Sometimes I just add quick notes in a panel. Sometimes I tile a full tab with another page so it's more of a full sized document. When I change computers or even fire up @Vivaldi on my phone, my notes are there. I can do formatting and even embed images. Seriously, it's hard to overstate how useful this feature is to me.
Hey #PKM people, as it seems fashionable here to humblebrag by posting screenshots of graphs: What exactly are the benefits of a graph view? Aren't bi-directional links just simpler and thus more effective?
Using Joplin Cloud Pro or Teams, you now have the ability to customise the banner that is displayed at the top of your published notes. That includes changing the logo, title or colour of the banner. More info in the official documentation! #joplin-cloud #customizehttps://buff.ly/3x1Wfn6
Die enshittification von #Evernote schreitet mächtig voran 🙄
Kennt jemand #opensource-Alternativen zur Verwendung mit #Linux / #Android , die möglichst in der Lage sind, die alten Evernote-Sachen zu importieren?
Ich bin das Gegenteil eines Heavy-Users: Hie und da wurde mal was gewebclippt, aber über die Jahre hat sich da halt was gesammelt. #Joplin wurde vom @ibnetzwerk mal empfohlen, scheint aber ausweislich deren Forums Probleme mit dem Evernote-Import zu haben.
Gerne RT, danke! #Fedihelp
OCR, autobackup, text color, evernote links -- all's new in Joplin 2.14
🔤 Autodetect text in pics and pdfs (#ocr) + search
🖌️ Text color in Rich text editor
💾 Rotating auto #backup - now bundled out of the box
🔗 Auto restoration of #evernote note links
📂 Import a directory of #ENEX files
💪 #Markdown editor upgrade
Meine Versuche #todoist durch eine #foss Lösung "aus einem Guss" zu ersetzen, waren nicht erfolgreich. #joplin ist kein Ersatz, es fehlt im Detail sowohl auf Desktop, als auch smartphone an Funktionalität. Das gilt auch für die vielen #opensource#Taskplaner.
Just installed #Joplin, which I'm looking to use as my #Evernote replacement. (Since I don't like the current look of Evernote as a company.) https://joplinapp.org
So far, it looks sweet - full-featured but pretty easy to use, nicely open, good docs, with an official cloud sync that doesn't cost too much and end-to-end encryption.
Just starting out with it, but this may also replace a lot of Google Docs for me…
Comme cet après-midi j'avais rien d'autre à faire que d'attendre les infos manquantes, ou des infos cohérentes après avoir mis le nez du demandeur dans son 💩, j'ai passé un long moment à étudier #Joplin, desktop et Android.
Bon 1er constat, adieu enfin #evernote, fini tes pubs pour me vendre un abonnement, et séquestrer mes données.
Je vais pouvoir reprendre la main sur mes données et les balader comme je veux, sans serveur tiers. Écrire mes notes en #Markdown et chiffrer le tout. Gratuitement.
I’m in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I’m also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective....
@publicvoit
Very nice overview. I agree on most of the points. I must admit i have not tested it as in-depth as you did.
I also tried to import a graph from my org-roam Zettelkasten directory, but the some links were working in the visual analyzer and some were not, though the links in the pages were correct. Did you try something similar as well?
What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use?
