I believe Joplin or Logseq are the open source alternatives to Obsidian that most people recommend. I use Joplin
I use Joplin too for years, syncing however always felt quite slugish. And that besides the fact it does so over the network because I am using my self-hosted Nextcloud server as the syncing method. How has been your experience?
I use Syncthing, so more-or-less the same as your Nextcloud setup, and have no complaints about speed. In what way is syncing sluggish? That Joplin takes too long while reading your local filesystem? Like this should have taken less than ten seconds?
Exactly, it takes several seconds, and sometimes I close the app on my phone without realising it hasn’t synced yet and then when I go to my desktop it’s not there.
Because of this I find myself opting for the “Note to Self” feature on Signal more and more when I am on my phone. It is super basic, but when I put something there it appears instantly on all my other devices.
Yeah, I’ve looked into those before, I just prefer Obsidian. The community plugins are really nice to have.
