It's nice to see more and more open-source E2E-encrypted note taking apps. A couple years ago I thought no one really cared about this, and now they seem to be popping up everywhere. This one particularly reminds me of Standard Notes.
Personally I've moved on to a privately hosted Git repo of plain Markdown files which I currently modify with Obsidian (although I'd prefer an open-source version, and Logseq doesn't quite scratch the itch like Obsidian does) - because I realised what I needed is like a self-hosted Notion-like alternative which I can trust, and Obsidian with all its plugins does exactly what I need.
The only major downside is that taking notes on another device and syncing them without merge conflicts is still a pain.
- pydry 3y agoI also do this - all my small form private data goes in one E2E encrypted git repository hosted with keybase. Currently I use orgzly which just saves or loads org mode files. I do kind of wish more note taking apps would just save to file and forget E2E encryption - the problem is hard, and it's better to let specialist software handle it rather than try and do a mediocre job. I would love to see more note taking apps to handle git merge conflicts and do git commits though.
