It's not open source. If migrate from Evernote, at least it's better to migrate to FOSS. Sadly, most FOSS solutions lack mobile app support.

- nilespotter 3y agologseq is open source, but you gotta pay for (e2ee) sync. Joplin is open source and you can do e2ee with a joplin server or s3 backed. I didn't care for Obsidian. logseq for me.
- xvilka 3y agoPaying for sync is absolutely fine as long as the client is open source. Thanks for the logseq recommendation, it looks very good from the first sight! I only wish they had NeoVim plugin like Obsidian has.
- puszczyk 3y agoI’ve only started playing with it recently, but they have CMD-d CMD-a shortcut to open a file in default editor.
- Zambyte 3y agoI have never used this, but for NeoVim it looks like you might be able to use this (or hack on it a bit to make it work with LogSeq a bit better) https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman https://github.com/artempyanykh/marksman
- nilespotter 3y agoAgreed, I pay for logseq sync. Down below someone mentioned doing it with sync thing, but paying is easier for me, and supports development to boot. There is a logseq plugin for vi-like keybindings, but predictably, it's just meh. Hope you enjoy logseq, it's amazing.
- neop1x 3y agoI am using LogSeq happily on Android and desktop, syncing with Syncthing. It works well enough.
- vladiliescu 3y agoOpen source is not a cure-all you know. I prefer to pay for quality software than spend countless hours trying to compile a thing someone abandoned years ago.
- 1letterunixname 3y agoIt's essentially impossible to create a SaaS app that's fully FOSS. And what good would it do? Furthermore, FOSS is orthogonal to support and usability. It's a meaningless property on its own.
- Krisjohn 3y agoThe data store is just a folder tree of .md text files. You don't even need Obsidian to view them, it just makes navigating the links a little easier.
- Groxx 3y agoYeah, ^ this is what convinced me to switch to it. It just produces reasonable, compliant markdown files, and displays them. Most markdown-folder apps handle its output just fine, it's just a better experience. I like open source a lot, but for my data I much prefer interoperable. I've watched too many projects and companies die and take my stuff with them.
- perryizgr8 3y agoThe notes are all in markdown stored on your disk. IMO that is more important than the app source code being open. I can easily take my data and write another app.
