A clone would be perfect, the interface of it and the ability to paste pictures into a very wide notes field is great. Please help me!

I do wish it was open-source though :( permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ErraticDragon@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) I switched to Obsidian not too long ago. For my needs, Joplin was a good open source alternative. Between the two I went with Obsidian because, while the apps are closed-source, the data is accessible. All your notes are just stored in plaintext (with markdown) as simple files in a directory structure. Joplin, in contrast, uses a SQLite database which adds a layer of complexity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] arandomthought@vlemmy.net 3 points 3 years ago This was one of the main selling features for me (before I tried it and experienced all the other killer features). I've experienced a bad case of vendor-lock before where it was hell to export my data. So having it all available in plain text at all times is really reassuring. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Xenanthropy@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago Yep, Joplin is great too, that's what I use currently! I also like that it has built-in syncing with nextcloud and dropbox; as far as I know, obsidian only has their own paid-for syncing (unless you sync externally like the person below using syncthing) permalink fedilink source parent [–] JebanuusPisusII@szmer.info 3 points 3 years ago There is Logseq! https://logseq.com/ permalink fedilink source parent
