https://joplinapp.org/ https://joplinapp.org/ does the trick for me, Synology NAS makes sure notes are copied over to multiple devices at any given time.
- rPlayer6554 4y agoI love Joplin but the Android app really needs an update. It's missing a lot of important features that are available on desktop.
- elondaits 4y agoWhat I don’t feel comfortable with from generic file sync solutions is the uncertain conflict resolution handling. At least with Evernote (far from perfect) I get a dialog informing me a conflict was found and it keeps both versions allowing me to do a manual merge.
- dexterdog 4y agoSynching does that and is open source. I use obsidian and synching to keep everything synced from my laptop to my phone and server.
- spicybright 4y agoCan attest. Any conflict it can't resolve, it'll add the other version it's comparing and append "(Conflict from 5/7/20 1:00pm)" or something to it's name. Not saying it's bullet proof, but I've never lost anything before.
- kqr 4y agoI was a very early adopter and there was a time when it hit race conditions that somehow caused it to delete all files in a shared directory. ...that has not happened in the last few years, despite my intensified usage.
- christkv 4y agoIt uses couch db with it’s conflict resolution system. I think you can even bring your own couch db instance
- nerdponx 4y agoJoplin I think has its own built-in conflict resolution. I use my own WebDAV server for sync and don't have any problems across 3 devices.
- lelandfe 4y agoWhat risks do you see coming from using a closed source app for your notes? Backups look pretty good, FWIW: https://docs.inkdrop.app/manual/backing-up-your-data https://docs.inkdrop.app/manual/backing-up-your-data
- chrisweekly 4y agoOk! Same. Try https://Obsidian.md https://Obsidian.md.
- libraryatnight 4y agoI love Obsidian. I know note apps like this are extremely personal, but Obsidian clicked for me and I adore it.
- Quasimarion 4y agoobsidian is closed source.
- chrisweekly 4y agowhoops! so it is. my notes are 100% offline, local, and portable, and the plugins and themes are OSS, but you're right about the core app and its license. so maybe it doesn't fit the bill for parent.
- aborsy 4y agoA bit confused, because Synology DSM is closed source and vendor locked-in.
- mehanik 4y agoFree Joplin with end-to-end encryption and many useful plugins is hard to beat. The mobile apps are not very polished but work reliably.
