Since a while, I have a no-app principle for any note taking or knowledge organization. Where _app_ is anything not directly provided by file systems or text-files (e.g. .md, .txt). After countless of deprecated app experiences in the last 20 years, I am happy to have switched to a more solid base, so the knowledge I produce is not lost when switching OSs, app versions, formats etc.
Seeing the functions of Nyxt, they look exciting and perhaps I will try this for short-term knowledge (e.g. brainstorming on a topic, where I won't need to access this knowledge again after e.g. one year). For everything else I will stick to nested folders and markdown files, where compatibility is almost guaranteed.
Curious what others think about this issue.
- christophilus 5y agoI’m the same. Fountain pen + notebook, and neovim + markdown. I think in markdown, now, and get annoyed when I have to compose (e.g. emails or whatever) in a crummy rich text editor.

- Helmut10001 5y agoI have an internal Nextcloud Server that I can access through VPN/Wireguard. The Nextcloud android client can edit files (either in plaintext, which I prefer, or markdown rendered mode). For when I have no mobile internet access, I use Markor [1], installed from F-Droid. The files in Markor are synched to Nextloud, when online or in home wifi again. [1]: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.gsantner.markor/ https://f-droid.org/de/packages/net.gsantner.markor/

- Grumbledour 5y agoMarkor + Syncthing are the way!
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoApart from the fact that I include Apple Notes in this... yeah. (Mostly because it is suitably ubiquitous -- it's an operating system feature for me.) As I consider moving to a more low-budget dev environment again I do question whether I need to jump the remaining step to text files in some cloud storage. But I'd want immediate background sync (not having to wait for the note to arrive on a device or explicitly fetch it).
- trenchgun 5y agoYou can use Nyxt to take notes to markdown, though. It's just a quick script away.
